Strawberry Blast Smoothie. Which is strawberries, Gingkobo (sp), Ginseng and Green Tea. Very tasty.

The strawberries sound good. I have figured out why I can not post here every day, Nic. I eat the same thing over and over again.

Vee, me too! Some kind of salad for lunch with a diet soda. Boring but that's okay ... I've lost 15 pounds so far! The strawberries do sound good!!

I will be having a picnic lunch at the park with the kids so it will be PB&J sandwiches and some grapes.

I'll just use this thread for this instead of driving the poor mods crazy and adding a new thread for this topic---- With school right around the corner for many of our kidlets I was wondering what kinds of things you all pack your kids for lunch? We did the school lunch the last few years because it wound up being cheaper, but they are far from healthy. The catch for me here is that DD doesn't like sandwiches that are hours old so packing a typical sack lunch is pretty much out of the question. I thought we could throw some ideas around in here. Sliced apples and yogurt grapes string cheese

you could put a go-gert in the freezer and by the time it lunch at school it should be mostly defrosted. Also, how about those smuckers pb& j or cheese sandwich that will defrost

My kids only take a lunch on field trips and when they do it's usually a lunchable, chips, and a soda.

DD loves them too, but only four come in a box. Its not really affordable. I wonder if I could freeze a regular PB&J and it would have the same affect

I get a HUGE box of them from Bj's wholesale or Coscto. Do you have one of them near you? Hey, try it - if it works let me know

Silly, those also come in 24 to a box. They are just harder to find...

I was at Cosco last week and they didn't have them...maybe its one of those hit or miss items. I have to go again soon so I will check. Running out of freezer space though!

When I was in school...............(reminiscing) I always took a meat and cheese sandwich, a cold drink (usually a sprite or seven up) an apple, a bag of chips or crackers, and a fruit roll up. The soda kept my sandwich cold all day until lunch. It was pretty fairly balanced. You can also get those insulated lunch boxes now and your soda will stay very cold. If you don't want to send her with a soda, get one of those cold packs to go in it and pack a juice or something. You can usually buy cases of juice and drinks at Cosco. My mom would usually throw a baked good in there too. I had to promise her every day that I would eat my apple.

Well, since she's not even allowed to have soda at home I doubt she will be getting one in her lunch! Lol. I really want to pack good healthy choices. She is not a picky eater and loves fruits and veggies. I just want to be creative I guess-there are a lot of days in the school year! She has an insulated lunch bag and I have bought a few cutsie containers to put food in. Even a thermos for soup. I think I will just start making a list today of ideas and see how long I can make it!

Ya, I've been trying to get her into water a bit more. My family line has really weak enamel so I make her brush her teeth constantly and try to keep her away from sugar filled drinks. Hard to do with an eight year old!

If you have weak enamel, don't brush your teeth very hard at all. Make sure you have a soft toothbrush...a friend of mine literally brushed her enamel away!

The only kind of toothbrushes made for kids are the soft bristle ones anyhow. We have a special toothpaste as well that my mom sends to us (She is the office manager at a dental office)

FYI: Cranberry juice, when it's 100% and sugar free is actually very good for your teeth. It fights gingivitis. (new study, i'll look for the ling)

Silly, I had a slew of little Tupperwares, and they got filled with cheese slices, homemade tuna or chicken salad, pieces of fruit or raw veggies, yoghurt, salad, salad dressing, dip, peanut butter (until that was nixed by the school because of a child's allergy) etc, etc, whatever ds liked and I could make at home rather than buy the expensive "lunchables". Then I'd add crackers of different ilk and frozen juice boxes or water bottles to keep the food cold since there were no fridges available at school. Apparently it was a sport for his friends at lunch time to see what those containers held.LOL Just don't forget the cutlery, since it's "not easy to eat certain things with your fingers, dontcha know".
