5 ways to make your school lunch yummy


 

Check these out, too...

  • Could you deal with an all-veg cafeteria menu?
  • Yum! Grilled shrimp recipes for a weekend cookout
  • 7 ridiculous caffeine-laced products (and why they just might disappear)
  • Hands off that hotdog! Do you know what's going on your bun?
Boring brown bags are sooo last year. Nutritionist and wellness coach Jackie Keller shared her secrets for making your midday meal amazing.

PB&J with a Twist
Start with a wheat wrap. Spread 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter on it. Cut up a banana and toss it on the wrap. Drizzle with honey (optional but tasty) and roll it up.

Better-for-Ya Chicken Salad
You don’t have to drown your wrap-a-roo in mayo or salad dressing. “Finely chopped carrots and shredded lettuce plus some cooked chicken is enough for a simple wrap,” she swears. The veggies create good texture and crunch without added fat.

Jackie’s Power Plate
Not into sammies? Jackie suggests pulling together a few healthy snacks to make a solid lunch. We’re sold on her power plate: It’s a whole wheat mini bagel, a hard-boiled egg and an ounce of peanut butter. Pop a piece of fruit in your lunch bag and call it a meal.

Teeny Tapas Trio
We love the idea of making mini sandwiches in the a.m. and then toting them along with you. Buy slider buns at the grocery store or use half slices of bread to create smaller sandwiches. Jackie suggests a trio of tuna, turkey and egg salad for a lunch that packs protein and carbs.

Not-So-Typical Veggie Wrap
"Try more interesting ingredients,” she tells us. One of her fave combos has garbanzo beans, sliced avocado and spinach. The mix gives you good fat, plenty of fiber and protein. Wrap it up in a wheat tortilla.

Those look awesome! I'd try them all, only we aren't allowed peanut butter or any peanut products in my school Frown I'll definitely try the ones without peanut butter, though!

MOD!
I really need to loose weight and get skinny. I don't have much time and don't really want to exercise, but I know I'll have to burn as many calories as I can. What are some healthy food choices? And also is it safe to eat only 2 meals and 1 snack everyday..? I'm going to slowly cut down I think, if it's okay and healthy. If not, any healthy alternatives????
Thanks




Hey girl,

It's actually better to eat more meals each day, like five. But the key is cutting down your portion sizes. Eating smaller meals helps you feel full for longer, while also constantly keeping your metabolism working. That means you burn it faster too! But you can't lose weight and get healthy without including more exercise into your routine. It doesn't have to be straight working out - instead, find something that you think is fun! The most important thing is getting moving, so it can be something simple like biking around town, playing soccer with friends, trying a kickboxing DVD, dancing around your room like crazy with your crew, or playing tag with your kiddie cousins! Smile

Mod Mod Mod I get super hungry in between periods at school. Are there any snacks I can keep in my locker that are quick to eat and won't cause mess/attract ants or bugs?




Hey girl,

Try granola bars or individual packets of peanut butter with pretzels! Both of those will keep your locker clean while also filling you up and helping you make it through to lunch/the end of the day Smile I also love bringing a bag of almonds, dried fruit, or grapes with me because they're my fave snacks!
