My kids love finger foods for lunch. I frequently pack crackers or flatbread with goat cheese, apple slices or strawberries and some sort of protein- tablespoon or so of almond butter or leftover chicken. Kind of like a healthy lunchables.
Another great idea is edamame or other snap peas-fun to eat and good at room temp.

Great ideas, I will be using them all! And you can go wrong with avocado, bacon, lettuce and mayo with some bean sprouts for extra crunch on sprouted toasted bread!!

I know this may sound boring but we usually just send leftovers with my daughter to school kept warm in her thermos. We are usually in such a rush in the morning and I try to focus on giving them a healthy breakfast that lunch is usually over-looked as a special meal. I am going to try making the chicken nuggets in large batches and freeze them, and I also love the hummus idea! They only have 15 mins to eat lunch (horrible, I know) so it has to be something she can eat fast. Plus my kids are pretty picky eaters. Now that I have another kid starting school next fall and another one after that I need to start putting more thought into their lunches. Great post Jenny!

I need help with school lunches! It is way too hot for soup here, and she is getting bored with frittata and sandwiches. Our school also has a no nut policy. Pizza is a good idea. Anyone got anything for me?

Runaway,
We have stainless steel thermoses that I can send hot foods to school in! And it stays hot, too.

I can come up with cooler weather lunches just fine, but what about warm weather lunches? My little ones will eat only so many salads.
