  2. 5 Tips For Putting Together Healthy Lunches For Your Kids A healthy lunch keeps students running strong throughout the long school day. And, feeding them essential nutrients can help them avoid sicknesses that travel like wildfire through classrooms during the year. However, getting kids to eat nutritious foods isn’t always easy.

  3. Limit processed foods but not flavor Kids may crave things like sugary drinks or sweet treats in their lunch boxes, you can still pack a meal that’s filled with flavor without adding too many highly processed treats. For example, a lunch box filled with healthy and delicious fruit almost never gets sent home full. And, adding options like a savory sunbutter or roasted hummus for dipping can be good options to enhance the taste quotient of their lunchboxes.

  4. 2. Give them what they like but in a healthier form If you have a kid who clamors for Paw Patrol gummies, look to see if there’s another way to humor their character-loving sweet tooth. For example, you may be able to find a healthier cheese stick or yogurt for their lunchbox that’s adorned with the princess or superhero of their choice.

  5. 3. Make it colorful Engaging kids’ minds can help you engage their taste buds. They may not want to try melon but may be happy to gobble up a rainbow of strawberry, cantaloupe, and honeydew combined on a skewer. Making birds’ nest from mashed potatoes and peas have always been a standby in the top-secret parenting handbook.

  6. 4. Be persistent Children need to be offered new foods frequently in order to become acclimated to them. Don’t worry and don’t give up if you make squash for dinner and your child sullenly refuses to touch it. Just keep serving it. Kids sometimes need to be offered a new food 10 to 15 times before they accept it as part of their regular diet.

  7. 5. Pre-game If you have a kid who is not a big fan of healthy lunches, don’t feel that you have to give in and pack them a lunchbox full of preservatives. Instead of focusing your attention on the meal they eat when they’re not with you, put additional effort into what you can control.
