Sandwiches Are Boring!

By Tawnya Hallman, Healthy Kids Committee Chair

Your kid likes everything you put inside their sandwich, so why does it still get brought home uneaten? Could it be that they’re just tired of eating the same thing everyday? I know what you’re going to say: “But my kid will only eat 5 things!” I hear you.

My solution is to give our son the food he likes, presented in different ways. Of course, my main goal is to try and get him to eat something healthy but also, it needs to be easy and fast for me to pack.

Try these alternative presentation styles to the classic bread-filling-bread lunch using the foods you know your kid will like:

Bento Box style:

Shish Kebab style:

Stegosaurus style:
