Hi
Welcome to Family Corner!
Here are a few ideas for you.....
Lunchbox ideas that require no refrigeration
Mozzarella string cheese sticks, oranges cut into wedges, whole wheat carrot muffins
Bagel spread with cream cheese (you may want to try the mini- bagels so as to avoid waste, sugar snap peas, box of raisins
Tortilla rolled up with a slice of mild cheese, fresh green beans, small tangerines (Clementines are so easy to peel that the kids can do it themselves)
Banana bread spread with peanut butter and a little honey, cucumber coins, melon cubes
Cream cheese and apple butter on whole grain bread, veggie mix (baby carrots, snap peas), dried apricots
1/2 pita stuffed with shredded carrot and mild cheese (or peanut butter), small individual cup of applesauce
