Now that your kids are back in school, you’re back to packing daily lunches. It’s easy to fall into a routine and pack the same thing every day, but maybe you — or your kids — are looking for a little more creativity. That’s why we’ve come up with a weekly menu for you to follow, complete with a shopping list! We know mornings can be busy, so we’ve made sure to include easy-to-make lunches that can be prepped ahead of time. We’ve also provided options for fruits and veggies to include with each meal, but feel free to mix it up depending on your child’s tastes!
