It is the time when kids are busy with examinations and vacations are about to come. Kids always end up enjoying their holidays, but super moms are busy enough in thinking and planning for the menu of kid's meal for the new session. They put every effort to learn best ways to fulfill all nutritional demands of their child. Although breakfast might be the main and important meal of the day, but lunch is also equally significant. Studies show the kids who eat a balanced diet are active, alert and perform well in school. It's hard to monitor your child all time about what should they eat? Always go with kid's choices and make the lunch attractive in appearance.

We are here to resolve your problem and come up with healthy lunch & snacks ideas for your child's lunch box:

You can add whole grains, nuts & raisins, lentils, beans, sprouts, milk & dairy products, fruits & salads, cheese, curd, yogurt and more to the meal. Keep in mind that the meal should contain the carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins and other essential nutrients for the growth of the kid.

Oatmeal: Fueling your kids with slower burning carbohydrates helps them to maintain concentration and attention throughout the day. You can also try cereals, bran, whole wheat bagels and more.

Beans & sprouts: Cook delicious and attractive dishes with beans & sprouts because these are iron rich foods. These recipes look interesting as well as nourish your kid with iron because its deficiency affects memory, attention & learning. If beans aren't of interest, you can add dark green leafy veggies, soy, tofu, poultry, meat, fish, etc.

Berries & Melon: Add a box filled with fruits like grapes, watermelon, oranges to keep your child hydrated. Staying hydrated is essential because it keeps your memory sharp, motivation intact, and mood stable. It's because studies show that staying dehydrated could reduce oxygen flow to the brain and shrink neurons. You can use cucumber, watermelon, and strawberries too.

Fruit

Pack smoothies, juices made of fresh & seasonal fruits. You can also offer dried fruits like raisins, walnut, almonds, figs, etc. to your kids.

Veggies

Pack raw vegetables with peanut butter, salsa, pesto, hummus, or whatever your kid likes to eat.
