12 Pge 2 Scoop Y fll 208 Helthy Kids Lunches fruit / vegetble protein + + = crbohydrte lunch simple ides bnish lunchbox boredom Oky, prents. We ll know tht bck school is, lthough bittersweet our children, pretty good us. Our children re gin occupied in noble pursuits, y get regulr exercise, y hve plenty of time ir friends echo of I m bored vnishes from hlls of our homes. Things re lwys good few weeks t lest until new boredom sets in. School lunch burnout. For those who regulrly pck lunches n elementry school ged child, you my hve run in few common points of friction. Nmely, boredom content, rguments over wht did not get eten tht dy, issues revolving round trding junk food. Let s look over issues, one t time. Bttling boredom. I hd lwys plnned on being mom who would brek out pck cookie cutters mke lunchtime schoo swiches specil, hve or who would cretively point mrket scks of crrot bored coins or stup broccoli est my child. ment But relity is, tht et tkes time.our fmily r tries put emphsis on dinner eting (mostly) t homecooked mels ger t night, so lredy limited Btt time in evenings, pcking I hd elborte bg lunches m hs fllen by wyside. co Working lunch under time constrints might or wh tke some of scks cretivity out of up presenttion, br but it But doesn t th hve men boring or unblnced lunch. We dopted bseline of this eqution: + + =. One fruit or vegetble (e.g., crrots,bnn, cucumber, pple), one protein turkey, penut butter, hm, cheese), one crbohydrte (bgel, crckers, English muffin, rtills) = one lunch. Dividing lunch-building in predictble units mkes it esy my son prticipte by choosing different, chnging components. One of best side effects of this lunch style is tht it teches my son bout nutrition which types of food hve wht nutritionl vlue. Now my son knows tht penut butter is protein, not vegetble. He knows tht bnn is not significnt source of complex crbohydrtes but tht whole whet bgel is. Emphsize efficiency There ws time, I m sure, when ll kids would sit down lunch t school enthusism dig in, focused on tsk of chewing ir food getting refueled n fternoon of lerning. I believe tht time ws somewhere round yer 9-oh never? The truth is tht lunch is, hs lwys been, n importnt socil time kids. This is when jokes get ld, brgging gets done where dy s hilrious sight ggs re morrow s docr s visits (risins in nose, nyone?). This is lso when your child is supposed focus et ir whole lunch. Remembering keep portions smll eting process efficient (think bitesize finger foods) helps ensure tht more food gets eten. This is wy ddlers et, but I find it works gret t ny ge (I love snck lunch t office myself). It doesn t hve look extremely coordinted be good lunch hful of nuts, bg of snp pes, some cheese cubes, grpes, whole whet bgel hlf. All se things re esy et, more importnt, cn be sfely eten while pying ttention t lest three or things t once. Less lunch trding My son reports tht lot of unsnctioned lunch trding hppens. Pckged, processed foods designed lunchboxes fruit sncks, cookies, chips cheese puffs re hot commodity. For kid who brings helthy lunch every dy, those things help him build n rgument tht his mor is menest, most boring person live. It s disppointing think tht helthy mel we spent time money plnning purchsing could be trded less helthy food on whim. Though I suspect my son s whole whet bgel or lmonds rnk low in lunch tble trding vlues. But llevite feeling tht my child is going be scrred by his helth-fntic mom who never llowed him hve fun foods, we've dded mystery items lunchbox something tht doesn't fll in min food groups: fruit ler, orgnic chocolte milk, nturl energy brs, single serving of chips. We shop se mystery items, long rest of his lunch, t our locl food co-op, where it s esier minimize stuff I don t wnt him et: high-frucse corn syrup, hydrogented fts, rtificil chemicl sweeteners dyes. My hope is tht he ll covet se trets enough tht y don t end up in trding ction. Dividing lunch-building in predictble units mkes it esy kids prticipte by choosing different, chnging components.
