SHADOW CREEK RANCH Tips for Packing a Healthy School Lunch by Stephany Pando, cooksmarts.com, edited for space Packing lunches for your back-to-schoolers is no easy task. It takes time and planning. Plus, every parent knows that just because you pack it, doesn’t guarantee your kids will actually eat it. However, this doesn’t mean you have to fill your kids’ lunchboxes with pizza and cookies everyday. Below we offer 5 tips for how to pack a nutritious lunch that your kids will look forward to eating and you’ll feel good about giving them.

Tip #2: Turn Healthy Foods into Fun Foods •

Use cookie cutters to make shapes out of bread, deli meat, cheese, or a melon-baller for fruit.

Use kid-friendly skewers to make colorful food kebabs.

Tip #3: Make Your Own Snacks – and limit processed ones

Tip #1: Get Your Kids Involved •

Tip #4: Incorporate All Food Groups

are completing a challenge!

A balanced diet includes all of the food groups. Luckily, there are so many different ways to enjoy each food group: •

Fruits: fresh, frozen, dried, canned, baked (think apple chips!) or pureed.

•

Vegetables: fresh, frozen, or baked (think kale chips!)

•

Lean protein: baked chicken, deli meats, hard boiled eggs, beans or nuts (be aware of nut allergy regulations at your child’s school).

•

Low-fat dairy: milk, cheese or yogurt

•

Whole Grains: pita, sandwich bread, tortillas, wraps, and pastas

•

If the “flavor” of water is too boring for them, throw in a few pieces of frozen fruit to sweeten it up – and keep it cooler.

With these tips in mind, you and your child are ready to start out the school year on the right foot. Good luck – and happy packing!

Tip#5: Encourage Hydration It’s recommended that school-aged kids drink between 6-8 cups of water a day (even more in hot weather or if their activity level is high). •

Let your child pick out their favorite water bottle and encourage them to drink the whole thing at least twice at school. They’ll be more inclined to do it if they feel like they
