Non-Sandwich School Lunch Ideas
Packing school lunch every day doesn’t have to mean sandwiches on repeat. Whether your kid loves variety or you’re just looking to mix things up, there are plenty of fun, easy alternatives that skip the bread and still deliver the nutrition and excitement they need to power through the day. These five creative combinations for school lunch come from @thefamilynutritionist, who knows how to bring both the fun and the fuel to lunchtime.
Each idea pairs perfectly with good2grow drinks and Snackers to help make every lunch something to look forward to.
Snack Tray Delight: A variety-packed tray is great for picky eaters or kids who like to mix and match. Include mini meat slices, cheese, crackers, fruit, and vegetables. good2grow Antioxidant Blend juice adds a splash of flavor and nutrients.
Dippable Yogurt Parfait: Turn snack time into lunchtime with a sweet and satisfying parfait. Pack good2grow Cinnamon Snackers with Greek yogurt for dipping, plus a few berries and a sprinkle of fun. It’s a delicious and creative way to fuel their day.
DIY Nacho Kit: Make lunchtime fun with build-your-own nachos. Include tortilla scoop chips, shredded cheese, guacamole, salsa, and more fruit for good measure. Add our BIGGER bottle of Paradise Punch to give kids a bold tropical flavor they’ll love.
Brunch Break: Breakfast-for-lunch is always a hit. Pack mini waffles, a small container of syrup for dipping, a hard-boiled egg, berries, and edamame. Pair it with good2grow Organic Juice with 75% less sugar for a balanced and refreshing drink.
Pizza Bagel Party: Mini bagels make the perfect base for kid-sized pizzas. Include shredded mozzarella, a small squeeze tube of pizza sauce, and mini pepperonis. Add fresh fruit and a veggie side, then finish it off with a bottle of good2grow 100% Apple Juice for a complete and kid-approved meal.
