Healthy School Lunches on a Shoestring
The lunch box as a healthy and cheap alternative to the cafeteria line.
The cost of a cafeteria school lunch varies widely depending on where you live, but I believe it is more cost effective (unless your child is eligible for free or reduced price meals) and always a healthier choice to send your child with a lunch from home. Here's why we do it, along with some tips to make it easier for you to get started.
Advantages to Packing a Lunch
· Although school lunches are USDA approved meals, they are still laden with fat and salt-much more than your child needs. By packing your child's lunch each day, you are able to determine what food choices are best instead of relying on the government to do it for you.
· It's cheaper than buying lunch every day. Two years ago we lived in Anchorage Alaska, where the cost of a hot lunch is $2.90, or $14.50 a week. The cost for essentially the same lunch in SC where we currently live is only $1.40, or $7.00 per week, but regardless of location I still came out ahead by packing his lunch from home, which only costs about half the price of purchasing a cafeteria meal when done right.
· Your child can help you choose what he/she wants to eat so they are more likely to actually finish all of their food.
· Carrying a lunch box can be a matter of fashion for some, or a statement for others. My son's lunch bag is made from recycled pastic bottles! I have seen many unique bags and boxes online--there are plenty of options outside of what a Walmart or other box store offers in terms of style that will make your child feel orginal.
Disadvantages to Packing a Lunch
· It takes about 10 minutes every morning to do unless you ready it the night before, which works well for most foods except for sandwiches because they have a tendency to get soggy.
· Some food choices may be limited unless you are careful to ensure that everything is properly insulated and cooled with ice in order to keep it fresh and safe.
Be careful! It's certainly possible to spend more than necessary and pack foods that are full of sugar and fat when making your own lunch. Here are some tips for staying on track.
· Purchase a good set of Tupperware or similar reusable plastic containers with tight fitting lids. I have several different sizes including very small (1/4 cup) ones that will hold a dipping sauce. Make sure that you can fit several at a time into the lunch bag or box that your child will be using, and don't forget to leave room enough for a water bottle!
· When grocery shopping, let your child choose two or three snacks that will go into their lunch. I limit one store bought snack per day. I always choose a large container of something and separate it into smaller portions, instead of buying single serve snacks which are more expensive and whose extra packaging is wasteful.
· Some popular treats for my son are applesauce, trail mix, fruit leather, popcorn, granola bars, peanut butter filled pretzels, yogurt covered raisins,
· Always pack at least one fresh fruit or vegetable. The options are endless so let your child help you decide! Here are some ideas: Bananas, apple slices with peanut butter or yogurt for dipping, pear slices, celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins, carrot sticks or broccoli florets with ranch dressing, grapes,
· Don't limit yourself to sandwiches! Any dinner leftover can be used for lunch the next day if your child is willing. Some other options that go over well with my son are mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce, pancakes with sausage and syrup, cold pasta salad and a hardboiled egg, and spaghetti with meatballs and a roll or breadstick.
Remember that you are the most important role model in teaching your child healthy food choices that they will learn for life. Choose fresh, wholegrain, and organic when possible and let your child decide between several healthy options so they have some control over what they are eating. Packing a lunch can be an economic lesson for the older child as well--make it a game to find the least expensive, but still satisfying snack, then offer it as a treat!
