Packing lunch in a fun lunch box can make eating lunch even better. You can find a variety of popular lunch boxes here.

What makes a lunch healthy?

Just like with other meals, lunch can be healthy when it contains a balance of healthy foods. Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are part of these healthy foods.

A healthy lunch has healthier foods in it. For example, rather than sugary cookies for dessert a healthy lunch will offer fresh fruit.

What are the benefits of a healthy school lunch?

Experts tell us that a healthy lunch can make for a better student.
That is, a lunch that contains protein may assist with better physical performance.

Fruit is also beneficial for kids just like it is for adults. This is because fruit contains vitamins, natural sugar for energy, and antioxidants.

Studies show that kids who eat a balanced and healthy meal for lunch tend to do better in school.
