Packaged dairy gives lunchboxes a healthy makeover
Food and beverage packaging gets healthy for school lunches
Twinkies may be back on store shelves, but they are not the best thing to put in kids' lunchboxes. If your child's lunchbox needs a makeover, follow the Five Cs for tasty and healthy school meals.
Convenient – A package of string cheese is just as easy to toss in the lunchbox as a bag of salty, fatty potato chips. So is a box of raisins or shelf safe milk. Keep some single-serve shelf-safe milk cartons in the freezer – then nestle one in the lunchbox, and they'll keep the other items chilled until noon. Since healthy can be so easy, vow to pass on the junk.
