"Do more than belong:
participate.
Do more than care:
help.
Do more than believe:
practice.
Do more than be fair:
be kind.
Do more than forgive:
forget.
Do more than dream:
work."

ISo, you want to provide nourishing lunches but the kids think it's boring or worse, trade their lunches for a cookie or candy! What do you do?
Think Picnic. Kids love to play, playing with healthy food is a great option to promote healthy eating
Serve up crispy, coated, bite-size cooked chicken on popsicle sticks and an assortment of sauces on the side to dip it in. Slide in some fresh veggies and fruits and add sauces for dipping these items, too. Kids love to play, playing with healthy food is a great option plus it leaves the boring ole PPJ behind
Make it fun. Find and fill a variety of mini storage containers for the dips and lunch packs - you know what your kids love to eat - the container makes it just that more fun.
Ask the kids to help plan their lunches - they will be more likely to eat what they pack
Dipping Sauces - let the kids play with their food. Think about assembling foods - why do you think Lunchables are so successful?
Make ahead. Bake chicken and cut veggies the day before. Keep ready to go chicken in the freezer and bake it as needed.
Make it lighter. Use baked or broiled instead of fried coating on the chicken. Choose low-sodium/low-fat dips.
Make it different. Add raisins or nuts (or both) to make a variety of options with awesome results.
Create variety that other kids will envy. Small fruits that are easy to eat: grapes, cherries, plumbs, blueberries, cucumber slices, red/orange peppers, baby carrots are fun to eat
Make it safe.Be sure your child is old enough to eat this dish safely if unsupervised
Other ideas: kids might also enjoy hummus, bean dip, sliced cheese, yogurt, cold cuts, tuna salad, pasta salad, egg salad, or a thermos full of chili. Make it fun and let them get involved
