Kids are back in school, and healthy lunches need to be packed daily.
We spoke to a Public Health Dietitian Jessica Durham about how important those lunches are to get your kids through the day and what should be packed.
Durham went one step further providing an example of what that lunch might look like.
She said one thing that is important is getting kids involved in lunch packing.
While packing a lunch full of healthy options is ideal, if your child won’t eat them, it is just going to sit there untouched.
Finally, having a healthy lunch is great, but for the best success at school try to send them off with a full belly.
Durham said it’s also important that you check with your school to see what food items are not allowed due to food allergies.
