    Homemade Pizza Lunchables 

    • Similar to the lunchables you can buy in a store, but homemade! These easy-to-make cold pizzas include 1 piece of sandwich thin bread, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese & a couple slices of pepperoni! Some other pizza toppings you might find around the house – ham, pineapple, green peppers, black olives & more.

    Banana Dog Bites

    • The perfect protein & potassium-filled alternative to a lunchmeat wrap – give our banana dog bites a try! Both easy & delicious… to make these little bites all you need is a wheat wrap, peanut butter & a pealed banana. Once the peanut butter is spread, roll up the banana into the wrap & cup into small size bites. Pro tip: make it PB&J style by adding in strawberries or jelly!

    Cucumber Sushi

    • These kid friendly cucumber sushi rolls are a perfect sandwich-free lunch idea. To make them – slice cucumber into large 1 inch thick slices & hallow out center of cucumber using a melon baller. Leave about ½ inch of cucumber from the edges. Stuff cucumber with small rolls of ham, cheese and carrots until center is filled. Refrigerated leftovers in tightly sealed container.

    PB&J Waffle Sandwich

    • The perfect combo of breakfast & lunch – this peanut butter & jelly waffle sandwich is a must try for kids! All you need is frozen waffles to pop in the toaster, peanut butter & jelly! As simple as making a sandwich, just use waffles instead of bread. Pro tip: add strawberries, blueberries, bananas or chocolate chips to your waffle sandwich for extra taste. Yum!
