Nutritionist Lianne Phillipson says routines are key for kids as they head back to school and that includes in school lunches.
She says as you start to get organized this week, take some notes.
Phillipson shares that if someone says they like something simple, such as toast for example, suggestions can be made to make it more nutritious. Including protein is a good place to start!
Adding that some kids feel empowered by being included.
Another suggestion she has is to reduce sugar in a way many may not think of.
Most juices are loaded with sugar, and Phillipson says many may not know that, or bother to check labels.
She says getting the whole family involved can open a discussion and inspire the family to get creative and healthy with their lunches.
