Yes, kids can and should eat healthy, too!

It's true- we create picky eaters. I believe there are some exceptions to this, however. But for the most part, this is a very true reality. Sorry to burst your bubble (most of us are guilty on some level)! 

Here are some healthy lunch options for your kiddo:

1. Nitrate/Nitrite free turkey- (most often added as harmful preservative) ***These chemicals react with amino acids in foods in the stomach to form highly carcinogenic compounds known as nitrosamines. AVOID AT ALL COSTS
2. Half an avocado- don't forget to include a spoon!
3. Cubed raw organic goat cheese
4. Organic sliced cucumber- leave skin on for fiber nutrients
   1. Add organic raw hummus as a yummy dip!
5. Organic sugar snap peas
6. Raw walnuts and pistachios

I have realized when I include a fruit in his lunch that is pretty much all he eats. He also gets berries and some kind of fruit at breakfast or at snack, so I tend to not add a ton of fruit to his school lunch. If I do, it is a very small amount.

​Pack in a BPA FREE container and there you have it- Don't forget your ice pack to keep food fresh and cold!

Nothing like a well balanced, healthy meal packed full with the right nutrients for your little! 

TIP: Be sure to include all four MACRONUTRIENTS to each meal

1. Healthy fat
2. Carb
3. Protein
4. Fiber

This will help aid in proper digestion and and create a well balanced diet. 

Remember to keep it real by not overwhelming yourself if this is all new to you. Take a deep breath, and go one step at a time. You got this!

You rock, mamas!
