Lunch Box Ideas
Packing a healthy lunch your kids will enjoy (and not trade off) everyday can be a challenge. Explore these kid-friendly recipes to add a little variety to your tyke's brown bag.
Tips for packing a nutritious lunch kids will love
Let your child help make her own lunch by giving her two choices for each food group.
Take your kids to the grocery store and let them see and smell new foods. Henry's stores often have food samples for kids to try before you buy!
Leave a note for you child to find at lunch time or put stickers in as a special surprise.
Choose fruits that are easy to eat and not messy. Consider dried fruit options.
Vary the bread to include raisin bread, mini bagels, whole wheat tortillas and pita pockets.
Create your own trail mix, packed with your child's favorite pretzles, nuts and dried fruit. Include a few chocolate chips for a sweet treat.
