4 Ways to Pack a Healthier Lunch Give your child's lunch an extreme and deliciously nutritious makeover. USE A BENTO BOX Japanese-style bento boxes and their nesting compartments are perfect for kid-size nibbles. Best of all, when your child pops the lid, the entire spread is at her fingertips, which puts the carrots on par with the PB&J and grapes for super-easy grazing. (Find the box shown above at laptoplunches.com.) SNEAK IN EXTRA VEGGIES If the produce in your kid's lunch is making the return trip home, consider hiding it. Add finely grated carrots to tuna and chicken salad, swap lettuce for nutrient-dense baby spinach, or try Horizon's new Little Blends yogurts, which offer surprisingly tasty fruit and vegetable combos, such as Strawberry-Carrot and Banana-Sweet Potato. ADD (MORE) WHOLE GRAINS Pack whole wheat pretzels instead of other salty snacks. Or take a cue from nutritionist Barbara Storper, author of Janey Junkfood's Fresh Adventure!, and make a checkerboard sandwich. Use one slice of whole wheat bread and one of white, then cut the sandwich into quarters and rearrange the squares as shown. OFFER NUTRITIOUS SNACKS Apples not making the grade? Try freeze-dried fruit, such as Brothers-All-Natural or Crispy Green. Another option from chef and school-lunch reformer Ann Cooper: homemade gorp. Kids can choose the ingredients, then mix up their own combinations each night before school (check out our recipes for Good-Morning Gorp and Sunflower Seed Gorp).
