I love these ideas, especially as I have seen some of the food the school offers. I was shocked to discover how few schools have a kitchen anymore, plastic wrapped lunches are heated in another location & delivered to the school!

I would add that you need need to be aware if your child's school is a peanut free zone & plan accordingly. I find almond butteer makes a good substitute (thought it is more expensive). I think the smoothie idea is very clever & will pass that along to my friend with a hard to feed first grader.

Be cautious with what low fat products you are offering a child (or yourself). Most have strange chemicals or sugar added in place of the fat. Sometimes a little full fat is better than a lot of additive fillled substitute.

Over all a very helpful article!
