Despite these changes that are being made in our schools there is still much that needs to be done. All you need to do is look at your child's school lunch menu to see that. Why not make an effort to look at your childrens' menu everyday and if you see something that doesn't sound the healthiest pack your child a lunch for that day. I love packing lunches for my little girl and filling them with healthier alternatives. Fruits and veggies, nuts and olives, whole grains and skip the sugary sweet juices and soft drinks. You can even find special lunch treats to put in there that your child will love but are not just empty calories.
I was given two "Better for you" easy to pack lunchbox options to review. The first one is for the older kids who are drinking soda and even energy drinks. Yes, energy drinks, loaded with caffeine. I can't believe kids are actually getting their hands on these things! A great alternative is Sparkling ICE.
Sparkling ICE combines mountain spring water, natural flavors, fruit juice, vitamins, and antioxidants. The outcome is a delicious lightly carbonated beverage that also happens to be zero calories. It comes in 8 flavor varieties like Coconut Pineapple, Kiwi Strawberry, and Lemonade. One of the flavors I tried was Orange Mango and I loved it.
The other product I was given to review is something younger kids will enjoy seeing in their lunchbox. I know mine does!
