Make Back To School Lunches Healthy with Horizon! Giveaway!

by

School is back in full swing!  With school lunches sometimes being questionable, a lot of  parents choose to pack their children’s lunches so as to have more control over what our children are eating.   I’m in that category….I pack my childrens lunch every day.  So, 180 school days times two kids means I am packing 360 lunches a year.  YIKES!

Horizon Chocolate Milk makes for some happy kids at lunch time!

In order to keep the kids happy, I try to mix it up a little by offering them a variety of nutritious, delicious options in their lunchboxes.  Horizon Organic has partnered with Dr. Alan Greene, a noted pediatrician, author, and nationally-recognized expert in organic nutrition to develop a “Top 10 Best Back to School Foods List.”  This list is a part of Horizon’s Toolbox for Mom on Facebook. The toolbox contains news, offers, and advice to support parents as the school year begins.  My favorite is the lunchbox randomizer, which provides parents with ideas for healthy school lunches!  Some of the ideas are things I never really thought about offering to my kids, but once I did, they loved them!  My son’s newest obsession suggested by Horizon is  Hummus.  He loves it spread inside a whole-wheat pita instead of mayo and then fills the pita with turkey breast.  I am excited he likes something that’s full of protein and full of flavor as well.  I plan to use the randomizer for some other great ideas for both my kids and for myself!

I have been a fan of Horizon Organic for years and plan to continue to rely on them for keeping my kids healthy when it comes to my choice of dairy products.  Horizon’s DHA Omega-3 helps support healthy brains for my two kids who are working hard in school!

  1. I am trying different foods. Today was nutella and crackers, almonds, hot ham and cheese, and a water. My som is in kindergarten so we are just trying to figure out what he likes. Tomorrow he is going to have a tortilla wrap.

  4. I try to keep lunch interesting by having them give me input into what they want and improvising a little, fancy cuts on the sandwich or flavored wraps, I use little shaped cookie cutters for cheese cubes, I have drawn on their bread with the food coloring markers and put in fun erasers or stickers.

  7. It is always a challenge coming up with lunch ideas for my 5 year old. We usually pack lots of fruits, carrot sticks and yogurt.

  13. I like to buy special “surprise” snacks that i put in her lunch every now and then.
    Thanks!

  15. I like to make heart shaped sandwiches, leave notes in the lunchboxes and make octopus and seaweed by slicing a hotdog to make it look like it has tenacles and serving it on top of mac and cheese and using catsup or mustard for eyes

  17. I keep my daughter’s lunch interesting by letting her choose hot lunch. She won’t get to do it next year because we will have two kids in school and that would get pretty expensive.

  19. I always keep goodies hidden and if they did well on a test or I cught them doing something extra at home, I would slip a treat in with a note.

  61. My daughter likes small portions of a variety of things in her lunch–for example, maybe three grapes, a strawberry, and a few raisins instead of just a bowl full of strawberries, or one piece of rolled up ham and one piece of rolled up turkey instead of one turkey sandwich….variety is the key to her happiness!

  66. I keep lunch enteraining and intersting for my kids by trying new recipes and by making things into finger foods as opposed to meals all the time.

  81. How do I make lunches interesting? One of the things I do is I put a reusable bag inside his lunch box and everyday he tries to guess what’s in it and at the end of the day he tells me if he was able to guess what was inside. Another thing I do is leave an inspirational note (ver short) inside the lunch box. I also try and always put fruit inside.

  109. I keep lunch interesting for my kids by switching up their meals – from Lunchables to turkey sandwiches to PB&J, you gotta keep it interesting!

  132. sometimes i stick different little notes in there or “coupons” that can be redeemed for fun things when they get home like a movie night

  140. I try to keep my son’s lunch interesting by mixing it up a bit. I always try to include 1 fruit and 1 vegetable and I do my best to make it fun.
