When I run out of lunchmeat, peanut butter banana sandwiches are always the back up. Now it is one of my children’s favorite lunches.

To avoid the soggy sandwich syndrome, I use whole wheat tortillas. Lunches at our house always include fruit. Make sure to switch it up. Here I included cherries. Do that and lunch doesn’t get boring.

Trail mix is fun to make yourself and your child won’t end up picking out what he likes and leaving what he doesn’t. Cheese sticks are a convenient staple to include.

If you do want to include a juice box, make sure to read your labels for added sugar. This particular juice, Honest Kids, is sweetened only with fruit juice.
