A Weekly Meal Plan For Kids School Lunch Ideas with Horizon Organic

August 28, 2019 by Nicole 4 Comments

Can you believe it is time to start packing school lunches again? I got a head start by sitting down with my kids and making a weekly meal plan for kids school lunch ideas. Not only did the kids help me plan their school lunch menu, they went grocery shopping with me at Smith’s. They helped me find everything on our list and more.

It’s a good idea to teach kids how to make healthy choices at the grocery store. My kids get more excited about eating fruits, vegetables and anything else they pick out for themselves. The Horizon Organic milk boxes are a real treat for my kids to take to school. They also like to snack on the Horizon Organic graham crackers.

As you know, school mornings can be busy. Hectic is another good word for it at my house! One way I save time in the mornings is to wash and prep fresh fruits and vegetables ahead of time. Sometimes I even do an entire week’s worth of fruits and veggies at once. It’s nice to have one less thing to do to get ready for school.

The school lunch ideas we came up with are made with the fruits, vegetables and foods my kids like to eat. Even my picky eater approves of everything on this lunch menu!

A Week’s Worth of School Lunch Ideas for Kids:

Horizon Organic School Lunch Ideas

School Lunch Ideas: Build a Hawaiian Pizza

You’ll need:

  • Pita bread, cut into triangles (can substitute flat bread or bagel halves)
  • Pizza Sauce
  • Diced Pineapple
  • Canadian Bacon or Sliced Deli Ham
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Kids can build their own pizza slices by putting the sauce, pineapple and ham on top of the bread. My youngest son is a dipper. Instead of building a pizza, he simply dips everything into the pizza sauce. Either way is just fine! *Make sure the pizza sauce is packed in a separate, leakproof container.

  • Cheese Stick

Lay a slice of cheese on top of a slice of deli turkey and roll it up. Serve with: Pretzels, Baby Dill Pickles, and Grapes

All of my kids love yogurt. It’s one thing I know they are sure to eat. Add-ins like strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and bite-size Horizon Organic graham crackers turn it into a lunchbox favorite!

    Great ideas. My kids start school again this week, thankfully, they all pack their own lunches, but, I do prep a lot of things so they have quick and healthy options. #HomeMattersParty
