Healthy Lunch Ideas for Kids

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Rachael Richardson, with Nutrolution, in South Beach, Miami, Florida. In this clip, we're going to talk about how to pack a fresh, nutritious lunch, for your children, and it's very important. I've worked with so many adults, and adults who have been raised on healthy foods. They at least know how to revert back to doing that, so it may be the biggest gift that you can literally give to your children, is to teach them how to eat healthy, and there's lots of healthy food, that kids actually really, really like. It's just a matter of doing a little experimentation, finding those foods that your kids like, and taking a little extra time to pack them up, so always start with a healthy protein, and a couple of things that your kids might like, are some good, antibiotic free ham, or some of the same type of turkey, or maybe some tuna salad, or salmon salad that you make up. Always include some vegetables, where you can, so a lot of kids like baby carrots, chopped celery, chopped broccoli, even grape tomatoes, or sliced cucumbers, and you can pack a little bit of a healthy sort of ranch dressing, or dressing that they like, in the little Tupperware next to them, and then think about adding some sort of nuts, that are crunchy, that they'll like, and perhaps, a piece of fruit. This is Rachael Richardson, and this has been how to pack a fresh nutritious lunch for your kids."
