DAY Five: small tub of creamed rice, tuna & salad on whole grain roll, tub of fruit in natural juice, carrot and or celery sticks with salsa dip, a muesli or fruit bar, bottle of water [IF YOU DON’T WANT YOUR KID TO TRADE THEIR LUNCH REPEAT AFTER ME: “I will NOT send my child to school with this lunch” my new day five lunch can be found bellow] Day Five that your kid will eat: turkey and cheese wrap, use low fat everything and for the tortilla use small ones and make two, it will make it look like more food. Chocolate NAKED fruit juice (tastes like a milkshake, really is fruit with protein in it) and for a snack throw in some annie’s bunny crackers. Dessert: at home take a small snack pack pudding pack and mix with an 8:1 ratio of whipped light cream to pudding, include a small amount of this super low cal and low fat dessert in your childs lunch

DAY Four: frozen fruit smoothie/organic yogurt drink,[even the organic ones are not get for you, buy your kid a bottle of naked fruit juice and let them have something to joke about at the lunch table (all while drinking 4 servings of fruit!) whole wheat bread with egg, tomato, cucumber & organic cheese sandwich,[eww again. Swap this out for a tuna melt: two slices of 12 grain bread toasted with sliced cheese (use a sharp cheese for more flavor, try some parmesan oregiano for a bit kick) tuna salad, and apple slices] mixed organic berries like strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, celery sticks with almond butter and raisins,[skip the sticks and go for organic pretzel sticks with the same stuff on it] bottle of water

DAY Two: carton of plain organic milk or goats milk [DO NOT do this to your kid unless you hate them! Make chocolate milk at home from plain skim milk and a bit of chocolate sauce, not as good for them but still good and they will want to drink it], hummus and sunflower sprouts [um… eww? Just no. hummus on normal pita with a small bit of goats cheese on the side to sprinkle on top (feta and chevere are great for this)] on whole wheat tortilla, twenty grapes, fruit muffin,[whole wheat baked apple muffins, your kid will love them] bottle of water DAY Three: organic low-fat cheese stick, whole wheat bread with almond butter and organic jelly, [again go for the multi-grain over whole wheat, more taste] homemade organic trail mix, fruit yogurt, bottle of water

DAY One: organic fruit yogurt [okay from the right company but some taste like chalk], whole wheat pocket pita filled with grilled chicken [whole wheat pitas are very brittle and are impossible to eat stuffed, swap this out for 7 grain bread that has been micro waved with a tiny bit of butter on it], avocado, cucumber, tomato and lettuce [depending on your kid you may want to leave some of these out but ask them to try it first but always put in avocado because it has little taste but is good for your kid] , apple or pear, slice of banana bread [put some chopped nuts and a tiny bit of chocolate in this and your kid will love it, not a lot just a bit], bottle of water large bottle of water, small juice box, make sure it is all natural because then the sugar they are getting is a kid that is good for them]
