In our house, we are gearing up for the back-to-school season as I’m sure you are too! While the relaxed schedules are fun for summer, there is something about jumping back into a routine and organizing daily needs that motivates me. So, I’ve put together five easy and fun back-to-school lunches that can actually be made in advance.
What does this mean? You make the lunch at night, keep it in the refrigerator and pop them into backpacks the next morning. School mornings are hectic enough; these lunch options make life so much easier! By including wholesome and fun options, such as grapes, peanut butter and Horizon Organic® milk, you will feel good about sending your little ones off with a nutritious meal that will keep them going all day long. Mix it up, have fun and inspire your kids to be excited about what’s in their lunch box with these five easy lunches.
