So here are my top kid lunches.
-Organic corn chips with salad or Guacomole or refried beans (I send refried beans in a thermos)
– WW crackers (I usually get organic triscuts or just regular ones) with organic cheese, pepperoni or salami
– Wraps with organic lunch meat (my go to brand is Applegate)
– WW Pasta salad with grilled chicken, frozen peas/corn and red peppers (organic Italian dressing). One batch usually lasts for 2 lunches
– Bean Burritos (I send these to school in foil)
– Chili (with lots of veggies) I freeze these in individual servings
– Vegetable soup (also freeze these)
– Lentils & Rice (in thermos)
– Fried Rice (in thermos)
– WW English muffin pizza
– Apples and peanut butter
– Chicken burgers & ketchup (Costco has organic ones they love)

I have a list of fruits and vegetables they’ll eat that I rotate for packed lunch or if at home that’s usually what is there sides.
My snacky sides pending on the lunch are:
Nuts, popcorn, corn muffin or chips (usually organic Sweet potato ones)

I think I am going to do a follow up blog to show my recipee binder and my lists my through ally 🙂

I Just LOVE this post and your tips have really motivated me to get organized with meal planning. Would you mind sharing a post on your top healthy lunches (maybe 7-10 of them?) that your kids will actually eat 🙂 I need to get out of the PB&J rut with my kids!! And I would LOVE a copy of your recipe binder at some point, if you have it typed up. Thanks so much for your ideas!!! Eating healthy is so important, but it can be daunting if you don’t know where to start…
