The “What We’re Having For Lunch” posts have been a big hit, and we’ve been getting requests for healthy lunch ideas for kids, too. Here are a few, including links to recipes from previous posts and our newsletter.
Enjoy – if you’ve got any ideas to add, leave them in the comments!
-Tara
- Organic blue corn chips – kids love the colour!
- Sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds. Plain, salted or in sweet clusters at the Bulk Barn.
- Sliced apple with cinnamon. (So the apple doesn’t brown.)
- Kiwi. Cut one in half and let your kids scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
- Black bean dip.
- Hummus. (SummerFresh makes individual containers.)
- Popcorn with nutritional yeast.
- Quinoa chicken nuggets.
- Meatballs with dipping sauce.
- Lentil crackers (or other bean crackers).
- Black bean corn chips.
- Stir fried rice or rice and beans (Thermos).
- Wraps with avocado and other vegetables.
- Quiche or frittata.
- Hard boiled eggs.
- Cold pancakes – especially a protein pancake.
- Baked beans (homemade or Eden organics canned).
- Roast your own turkey breast and cut into slices for sandwich, wraps or to eat on its own.
- Quesadillas (make them with corn tortillas and they’re gluten-free)
