It was highly requested, we all get out of ideas when it comes to school lunches. So today I am sharing three lunch school ideas with some tips and tricks along the way!
First thing which I emphasise a lot is involve your kids. Teach them to look up for Ingredients label and Nutrition label, take them with you while shopping. Let them explore beautiful vegetables and fruits around. May be if they are picking one of their favourite snack ask them to compare with its healthier version in the store. Trying new thing, may be one at a time is a key.
Right containers and lunch boxes is a key. Pick one which suits your kid food requirement according to their age. For me Dollar Tree have some amazing plastic one, just make sure they are BPA Free. Small container here from Dollar Tree are great for side of salsa or marinara sauce or may be little snacks or even they have travel safe salad dressing bottle, I use that for ketchup for my little one as well.
Planning ahead of time save you a lot of time and energy in morning. I make chicken using different recipes and keep them in freezer. This kind of chicken fillet are great for salads, sandwiches and perfect for office lunches. I often use Tandoori Chicken or chicken tikka masala or our all time favorite is Italian Grilled Chicken
1. Breakfast for Lunch:
First idea I am sharing is serve breakfast for Lunch. I make mini pancakes using my fluffy Pancake recipe. Use mini chocolate chip in a batter and instead of quarter cup measure I used 1 tablespoon. Serves Belvita breakfast bites, drinkable yogurt. You can give them some blueberries and maple syrup on the side.
2. Chicken Ranch Wrap:
Healthy grilled chicken and ranch wraps are loaded with chicken, cheese and ranch dressing. These tasty wraps comes together in just 10 to 15 minutes and makes a great lunch or snack.
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked grilled chicken breasts chopped (seasoned with your favorite spices)
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup cilantro minced (optional)
4 8 '' tortillas
If you’re in the mood for addins, go ahead and add some diced avocado, tomatoes, lettuce or whatever your little heart desires and enjoy these tasty wraps any time of the day!
3. Pizza Dippers
Last but not at all the least everyone's favourite Pizza -- This Pizza Dippers recipe is perfect! It’s a no-mess way for the kids to eat pizza and have fun dipping in the red marinara sauce. It is a great recipe to let your little helper join you in the kitchen. Win-Win!
