What to send for lunch?advice from a dietitian
What should be in a kid?s school lunch"
A:Â The keys to a school lunch are nutrition, variety and balance. I offer at least five items in my kids? lunches so they get a little bit of everything. Aim for one item from each of the following categories: fruit, veggie, whole grain, meat or alternative, and dairy or alternative. Whole grain foods can include homemade muffins, oatmeal, pasta, quinoa and bread?as long as they?re whole grain. These have lots of fibre, which helps keep tummies full and energy levels stable. Kids also need protein to sustain their energy throughout the day. Protein-rich foods include meat, poultry, fish, beans, lentils and milk products. Fruits and veggies can be offered cooked or raw; veggie pouches or sauces are a good option too.
