Packed Lunch

Sunday, June 12, 2011

Now that summer is here, it seems like we are almost always packing our lunches for picnics here or there. Our summer days are full of adventures and we are always bringing lunches along whether its eating at the park, the pool, zoo, or on a hike. We get sick of packing the same thing over and over again so I wanted to share some of the things we bring along. The girls get sick of having sandwiches everyday so we try to mix it up as much as possible. Here are a few of our favorites.

Rice cakes with peanut butter or jelly
Cheese and meat rolls- sandwiches without the bread
Sweet Potato Sticks- Cut raw sweet potatoes into slices- Kinda like carrots- crunchy and yummy
Tuna and crackers- we make tuna salad and brink crackers to scoop it with
Ants on a log- celery with peanut butter and raisins- we skip the raisins
Apples and peanut butter
noodles with Italian dressing and veggies
veggies and hummus
chicken salad- I use leftover chicken from dinner and add different things every time depending what we have.
corn chips and avocado slices or guacamole
almonds
trail mix
hard boiled eggs
cheese cubes
Odwalla smoothies

We kind of rotate through this list and try to keep it different every day. These are some of our favorites though and alternatives to chips and sandwiches. For a treat, I pack my homemade cookies or dark chocolate squares.
