The summer is slipping away at a rapid pace and if you have kids or you are a teacher , that leaves you thinking about the coming school year. There is always a lot to be done when it comes to getting your child ready for the upcoming school year and you might feel the last thing you have time to worry about is packing healthy school lunches.  Kids get bored of the same old thing so here are some ideas for how you can mix up lunch. Food is art….so let’s get creative!
Try PB Spirals. Take a whole wheat tortilla, spread on some peanut butter and add sliced banana. Drizzle a little honey.  Roll the tortilla and cut into bit size pieces.
Take chunks of chicken, add a little BBQ sauce, fill whole wheat bun with BBQ chicken.
Bored of a regular sandwich, try a wrap. Add turkey, lettuce and tomatoes to a whole wheat tortilla. Roll tortilla and cut in half.
Try a handful of whole-wheat crackers with four one-inch cubes of low-fat cheddar or Swiss cheese,  a serving (about a third of a cup) of egg salad made with a hard-boiled egg and a tablespoon of regular mayonnaise, and a cup of reduced-sodium V-8 juice.
For sides to go with these items try cups of fruit, celery sticks, baby carrots, or string cheese.
