Back To School Lunch
I actually love packing a lunch for my daughter every day for school. Its something I look forward too. The best part about it is knowing she will eat more at school then she will at home. She’s definitely a healthier kid during the school year!
Today was her first day back at school. She’s a 1st grader now and will be eating in the cafeteria for the first time. It will be a different experience for her. I’m just hoping she doesn’t lose her lunchbox.
I gave her free reign on what to have for lunch on the first day. She went very vegan* and chose a Bagel with Earth Balance and Nooch! She also wanted dried apricots, which was weird since she usually doesn’t eat them, corn chips, pineapple and ONE dark chocolate covered pretzel. She could have had two but was adamant that she only wanted one. The only thing she wanted that she didn’t get was Gatorade. She got water instead. I might give her some watered down Gatorade next week or maybe on gym class days. I’d much rather her bring coconut water with her, which she like a lot. A family member gave her Gatorade once and she’s obsessed now. I’ll break her off of it!
