Choose a base for your lunchbox, such as bread for sandwiches, tortillas for wraps, or pasta for a salad.

Select a protein like sliced chicken, deli meat, cheese, or a vegetarian option like hummus or edamame.

Add a variety of chopped vegetables like cucumber, carrot sticks, or bell pepper strips for freshness and nutrients.

Include a serving of fruit such as apple slices, berries, or grapes to add natural sweetness and vitamins.

Round out the lunch with a healthy snack, like whole-grain crackers, a small yogurt, or a handful of nuts (if no allergies).

**Sandwich & Sides:** Fill a sandwich with your child's favorite toppings, then add small containers of fruit and veggies.

**Wrap & Dip:** Spread hummus on a tortilla, add thinly sliced chicken and veggies, and serve with carrot sticks and a yogurt.

**Pasta Salad:** Mix cooked pasta with pesto, cherry tomatoes, and mozzarella balls, alongside a fruit and a granola bar.

**Deconstructed Lunch:** Pack cheese cubes, whole-grain crackers, turkey slices, and grapes separately for a DIY meal.

**Breakfast for Lunch:** Include mini pancakes, a small container of syrup, a boiled egg, and some berries for a fun twist.
