DealDash Cooks: Meal Prep Lunch for School

Many children like a homemade lunch for school. Here are some ideas from DealDash to save time with meal prep.

Making your kid’s lunches each day for the whole week of school can take a lot of work. You have to figure out what type of food your child likes to eat for lunch and what you are going to buy. It is important to prepare your kid’s school lunches for the week. Here are some ways to meal prep your kid’s lunch, from DealDash.

Buy Lunch Supplies

It is important to buy lunch boxes that have sections for the main meal, fruit, and snacks. You need a lunch box that can carry all of the food that you give your kids. Buying plastic forks, knives, and spoons are also essential. You also need Ziplock bags for sandwiches and other meals you need to seal up. You can also buy reusable silicone bags to save money.

Prep Your Ingredients

Prepping your ingredients will help you meal prep your child’s lunch easier. You can prepare protein foods such as tuna salad, boiled eggs, or hummus. Slice some vegetables to make a wrap or pasta salad. It is best to start prepping your ingredients on the weekend.

If you are going to add fruit such as watermelon and grapes, you should prep the fruit ahead of time also. Here’s a hint – if you make fruit salad ahead of time squeeze the juice of half of a lime over the bowl. It will keep your fruit salad fresh for much longer. 

Get Your Kids Involved

Ultimately your kids know what they want to eat. If you pack foods that they dislike, they may not eat it or trade their lunch for another lunch. You can give them an assortment of snacks to choose from, and have them pick their favorite. Your kids can also help you pack their meals for the week. For example, they can mash eggs for egg salad, or mix some ingredients for a tasty meal. In my experience, if the kids help make their lunches they are more likely to eat it.
