Back to school: Lunch Ideas Pt. II
As a kid, I remember sitting in class with a grumbling stomach and a huge appetite for lunch. And getting to have my favorite lunch was one of my all-time best school memories. Making a healthy choice for lunch is essential. Here's why eating a wide variety of healthy meals provides energy, helps you grow properly, and keeps you from getting sick. Consider your school lunch to be the fuel you put in your car. You can run out of energy before the day is done if you choose the wrong type of fuel. Back to school/work lunch ideas are back, along with some new healthy meals from Urban Body Fix.
Cauliflower rainbow pizza
What makes something appealing to children? Colors that pop? Yes, absolutely! That is what distinguishes our rainbow pizza. It's not only full of vegetables like tomatoes, broccoli, zucchini, onions, bell peppers, and corn, but it's also COLORFUL. The cauliflower crust adds to the health benefits. It's both very nutritious and super tasty. Simply dice the vegetables and arrange them in a rainbow pattern from light to dark. Toddlers can learn colors and their names this way. Essentially, it's a two-in-one meal that's both healthful and educational.
Zucchini fritters
For a side dish or snacks for kids, this is the best and healthiest option. All you need for these fritters is shredded zucchini, spices, all-purpose flour, softly beaten eggs, oil, and herbs for garnishing. It's quite simple to bake or even air fry. It can also be frozen and cooked as needed, making it simple to make a day ahead of time and ensuring that you are not late for school or work. It can be accompanied by sour cream or any other dip of your choice.
Veggie/chicken spring rolls
This is the most popular meal, and most children adore spring rolls, especially when filled with their favorite filling. Some of you may believe that preparing spring rolls is difficult, but trust me when I say that they are the easiest of all, and you don't even have to cook them. You can use any type of protein, such as chicken or tofu, as well as lettuce, spinach, slicked carrots, seasoning, and, most significantly, rice paper. Serve with tahini sauce or any other dip of your choice.
Fish/chicken/mushroom tacos
Tacos come in a variety of flavors and can be made with your favorite ingredients. Let's imagine your child isn't fond of mushrooms, fish, or even greens. To make it appetizing, you can put them in tacos with a little cheese and their favorite taco sauce. They will not only enjoy their meal, but they will also learn how to make a dish game changer and provide them with essential nutrients.
