At this time of the year and every time we think about before wandering around the markets for school supplies and returning the children to their new annual trip, we are baffled, because we are trying to get quick, easy, and innovative lunchbox snacks to take to school and enjoy it far from stereotypes and repetition. At the same time, we want those meals to give them good nutritional value that will benefit them physically and mentally. With all the chaos and endless multitude of unhealthy food options surrounding our children, maintaining a healthy and nutritious diet for them is becoming increasingly difficult. That’s why we decided to share with you some very healthy, easy, and fast lunchbox ideas to prepare for your kids through this school year.
1. Low-fat Yogurt
While most kids may not be overly enthusiastic about the idea of plain yogurt, you can always make this snack a lot more fun by adding some fruit to it and maybe adding some granola as well for a great parfait. Another great way to prepare it is to freeze it overnight and turn it into yogurt. With fruits in the form of frozen ice cream. The kids will go crazy with its awesomeness!
2. Homemade Sweet Potato Chips
Instead of letting your kids farther away from you eating store-bought oil-filled potato chips, you can bake sweet potato slices at home and package them for them. You can always add a little cinnamon to make it sweeter. Sweet potatoes are packed with Vitamin A, B6, and Folic Acid, which are very beneficial for your children.
3. Hummus
She is so popular in the West, surprisingly, she is taken for granted here in the East where she grew up. Chickpeas are an ideal nutrient, as they contain folic acid and B6 as well. Put it in brown toast, or use it as an addition to some freshly cut vegetables like carrots and cucumbers for a healthy and nutritious midday snack.
4. Fruits
As it might sound, fruits never fail to save the day. They are the perfect addition to any lunch box, in fact, you always make sure not to send in a lunch box without any fruit in it. Each fruit has its own benefits and nutritional value and your children will eventually learn to love this fruit.
5. Popcorn
Yes, you read it right, homemade popcorn in a plastic bag is a new and innovative way to give your kids a snack to eat them instead of less healthy alternatives, and why not add a pinch of cinnamon for a sweet taste or a piece of fruit on top. This will make them really enjoy eating this fruit!
6. Watermelon Slices
Sounds pretty easy, right? Cut the watermelon in adorable and fun shapes to make it more attractive to your kids, it will be a perfect moisturizing meal for your kids, especially in this hot weather.
7. Nuts
We all know how important nuts are with their essential nutrients like zinc, iron, and magnesium. A mixture of whole-grain nuts, popcorn, and sweet potato chips makes for a complete package of nutrients.
You can always be more creative while adding your own twist to any of the above, or even think of a whole new way in which you can provide your children with healthy snacks to make them more attractive by choosing ingredients that they really like.
