I would like to first state that it is extremely hard to get
a good source for ideas. I might come across a site that give a peanut butter
sauce mixed with soy to make a tortilla wrap but nothing that my kids
will actually eat. School lunches can become redundant and hard to keep
healthy.

I try to come up with things other than a sandwich to place
in their lunch! My all time favorite is my banana nut muffins. I use coconut oil, ground
flaxseed, and extra ground walnuts to give them a healthy boost. I learned from
a grandmother that ground flaxseed can be added to any baked goods.
* Grapes (berries like blueberries, raspberries, etc too)
* Baby Carrots
* Fig Newtons
* Celery with peanut butter
* Pretzels with peanut butter dip on side
* Tortilla Wraps (from peanut butter and jelly to lunch
meats)
* Burritos (from ground beef to guacamole and grilled
chicken)
* Gogurts (freeze and go)
* sliced fruits (apple, pear, etc)
* DYI Parfait (add things on side in baggies)
* Granola bars
* Dried fruits
* Trail Mix
* Lil' Smokies and Crescent rolls (or mummy hotdogs in
October)
* Popcorn sprinkled with Parmesan cheese
Than there are the fall backs you can pack in a thermos
container in winter months. Like roasted chicken left overs from the night
before with veggies. The classics from the crockpot cooking, soups, but I stay
away from pasta since it goes soggy. Than the fact that we have picky eaters
that need different thing in their lunches. One child won't eat lunch meat
while the other won't eat anything with tomato sauce. One kid like the pouch
drinks and the other insists on having the box drinks. I have found that I can
get the Super-V in pouches and V8 Fusion in boxes to give an added boost to an
other wise processed lunch.
