Lunchskins: Reusable sandwich and snack bags made from cute pastry bag fabrics–they saved more than 12 million plastic bags from being in landfills last year. These can be washed in the dish washer or washing machine.
Other options are available from people on Etsy, but they may not be made of food grade materials.
KlipIt by Sistema: A cool container that holds a sandwich in one place and two sides in the other side. Available at The Container Store or in Old Navy stores for a limited time. They also make other cool containers you will want to check out.
Lunch ideas:
- Peanut butter and crackers
- sandwich-gluten free bread, of course
- Rollup with cucumber, bell pepper and salad dressing
- Brown Rice Tortilla, spread with PB, wrapped around a banana—can add a drizzle of honey
- Tuna salad and crackers
- Quesadilla (just cheese, or add some ground beef) serve with salsa
- Hard boiled egg, , fruit and veggie
- Fruit smoothie: I love this trick—make several smoothies, freeze in 8 oz containers and pop them in your child’s lunch. They will defrost and be ready to stir or spoon up by lunch
- Baked chips (whole grain/healthy versions)—dips or sauces if you like
- cheese stick, apple/grapes
- Crackers, lunchmeat, cheese (homemade lunchable)
- Waffles
- Cliff and a piece of fruit and vegetable
- Soup in a thermos
- Sides:
- Nuts
- Cheese sticks/slices
- Snap peas
- Canned fruit
- Carrot sticks
- Dried apples
- Broccoli and ranch
- Cucumbers
- Grapes
- Bell pepper slices
DRINK:
Water. Really. No fruit drinks. It is a lot of money and they really need to rehydrate with some good old water. Check out the Kleen Kanteen or the SubZero Stainless steel containers instead of the plastic ones.
