Healthy Lunch & Snack Ideas
I’ve gotten several emails lately asking for some easy lunch and snack ideas. I admit, this isn’t my strongest area since my kids are still pre-school age and my husband is often in and out of his home office around lunch time, so I’m able to just prepare food at home.

The times that I do have to pack ahead when we are on the road, it definitely takes planning, and I see why this is one area a lot of people would prefer to simplify.

With that in mind, I’ve compiled some of my favorite simple and fast recipes (my own and from around the web) that can be packed for lunches or snacks on the go.

A Few Of My Own…

Jerky From Ground Beef

Meatball Shish Kabobs

You can also make extra of any of the meals on my Recipes Page and send/bring the leftovers for lunches. These are a few of my favorite (kid-approved) snack ideas

There’s also nothing wrong with a great homemade salad each day for lunch, and there are a million different ways to mix this one up! For kids, finger foods like nuts, veggies and fruit with dip, beef jerky, cheese, etc. are often easier and can be sent with homemade smoothies, water kefir, or other healthy drinks.

Fruit Kebabs.
Because everything is more fun when you put it on a stick! Use paddle pop sticks for littlies to avoid accidents with pointy skewers! If your kids are really fussy, some fun shapes might be needed like these from Juneberry-Lane.

Popcorn.
It’s a wholegrain and surprisingly healthy! Just don’t buy the microwave packets – buy an organic popcorn and pop it in some coconut oil or use a popcorn machine. Jazz it up a bit with Herbamare, organic spice mixes or try my Salted Caramel Popcorn.

Trail Mix.
Have fun with the kids making up your own combos of dried fruit, seeds, coconut and nuts (if allowed). Make them into Quirky Cooking’s Trail Mix Clusters. Just make sure the dried fruit you are eating is safe.
