Q: Any ideas for school lunches that are healthy don’t involve sandwiches?

A: Start by getting a lunchbox that thinks outside the box for inspiration.  There are several eco-friendly options on the web like planetbox that have several dividers and/or mini containers within so that you can offer a variety of foods instead of just a sandwich.  This will allow you to offer veggies and dip, fruit, nuts, cheese, quinoa, olives, and even dinner leftovers which also make a great lunch.
