• Healthy Snacks: Grapes on a Stick

    Grapes and Brussell Sprouts

    It is fun surprising the girls with healthy treats in their school lunch bags.  The girls love it when I put grapes on a stick for their fruit snack.  For an extra touch you can add eyes on the grapes and call them caterpillars.  Every time we have grapes they request this simple treat to be added to their lunch bag.

  • Fresh & Healthy: Fun Fall Fruit to Add to Your Kids Lunch

    Orange Pumpkin

    Are you are looking for a sweet and healthy Fall or Halloween treat to send in your kids school lunch?  Grab an orange, draw a pumpkin face on it, and stick it in their lunch box.  They will love it!  It is a fun, sweet, and healthy food for them to eat.  They will be excited to eat their fruit at lunch.  Doing something as simple  as adding a face to an orange can motivate the kids to eat more fruit!

    Thankfully, our kids have always enjoyed eating their fruits and vegetables, but adding a little extra surprise (like a pumpkin face) during the various Holiday Seasons gets them even more excited.  What are your favorite healthy Halloween snacks that you like to send in your kids lunches?  Our kids get enough candy sweets around Halloween Holiday so offering more healthier food options is always something we want to encourage.  Another bonus is the orange provides extra vitamin C which is perfect boost for the kids immune systems as we enter the seasons were colds seem to spread like wildfire through school.
