Pack a Healthy Lunchbox


Nutritious lunch ideas for kids Back to school means back to the cafeteria at lunchtime! To ensure your child eats a well-balanced meal, Health Advocate’s Wellness Coaches recommend that you pack foods from at least three groups—whole grains, lean proteins, and fruits and vegetables.

Try packing one of these Coach-approved lunchtime suggestions!


  • Spinach wrap or tortilla with shredded low-fat cheddar cheese, chopped grilled chicken with a side of cut up carrots, celery and cucumbers

  • Egg salad on whole-wheat bread with tomato and lettuce and a side of fruit salad or applesauce.

  • A ½ cup of low-fat cottage cheese mixed with strawberries, blueberries and pineapple with wholegrain crackers and hummus

  • A whole-wheat pita pocket stuffed with feta cheese, grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, olives and lettuce with a side of yogurt

Our Commitment to Inclusion:

 

The Y is made up of people of all ages and from every walk of life working side by side to strengthen communities. Together we work to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, age, cultural background, ethnicity, faith, gender, gender identity, ideology, income, national origin, race or sexual orientation, has the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity. Our core values are caring, honesty, respect and responsibility—they guide everything we do.

The Northern Middlesex YMCA does not discriminate on the basis of gender identity, including the use of bathrooms and locker rooms. YMCA patrons are permitted to use the bathroom and locker room of their gender identity. If any patron would prefer more privacy, that patron may use our co-ed locker room and/or our individual bathrooms located in the Lobby or Family center. The YMCA is committed to adapting our policies as we continue to evolve and create a more inclusive environment for all.
