Healthy School Lunches, Lunch Ideas, and an Innovative Healthy Lunch Box for Kids

Healthy school lunches are a very important part of the school day. We all want to send our kids off to school with healthy lunches, and we try our best to come up with fresh, healthy lunch ideas for their lunch boxes. We want to help you get more creative with your children's school lunches and fill their lunch boxes with healthy, whole foods that are quick and easy to make. Here you will find links to healthy school lunch ideas and healthy recipes for kids.

Healthy, Creative School Lunch

Let's face it. We have to get more creative with our children's school lunches. The junk foods in the fancy, colorful wrappers that come to school in many kids' lunch boxes are way too tempting for our kids to resist. My daughter used to tell me, "No thanks, mom, I don't need to bring a lunch. I'll get by." I would pack her a healthy lunch anyway and when I opened up the lunch box after school, I would find it all still sitting there, completely untouched, with empty candy wrappers tossed in. I guess she did "get by". The other kids shared their candy with her. My daughter is very social and doesn't want to take the time to eat during the allotted snack or lunch times at school. She'd rather socialize and play.

I have found the perfect solution to this problem. Laptop Lunches are American-style bento boxes designed to help families pack nutritious, environment-friendly lunches for school, work, and travel. These sustainable lunch containers--which come with a book of healthy lunch ideas and lunch-making recipes--are reusable, recyclable, and dishwasher safe. And all of the lunchboxes are lead-free. It's easy to pack a variety of fun, creative lunch items in these colorful compartments. Kids love the design, and it helps them to become more adventurous in eating a variety of healthy foods.

Amy Hemmert and Tammy Pelstring, two Santa Cruz County moms, are co-authors of The Laptop Lunch User’s Guide: Fresh Ideas for Packing Wholesome, Earth-friendly Lunches Your Kids Will Love. Together they created the Laptop Lunch System, a set of compartmentalized food containers, utensils and a water bottle that sit neatly inside a stylish insulated carrying case.

TheLaptop Lunch System includes the Laptop Lunch insulated carrying case, water bottle, the Laptop Lunch Bento Box with all inner containers and utensils, and one copy of The Laptop Lunch User's Guide More Info
