Grade-School and Teenage Students
As the new school year is upon us, many parents are wondering what types of new and creative school lunches they can make for their children. Tanya Steel, Editor in Chief of Epicurious.com, shares the following ideas:
- Grade-School Kids - They need complex carbs, protein and food that they recognize and are comfortable with. She suggests peanut butter, banana and date sandwiches; alphabet cookies; trail mix with raisins, nuts, whole wheat cereals; along with tangerines, and organic mini milk.
- Teenagers - They need extra protein and calcium and require between 2200 and 2800 calories a day. Steel suggests packing turkey wraps with curry-chutney mayonnaise and peanuts; ranch dip with vegetables; chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, and a strawberry mini smoothie.
