Today’s episode is all about a much requested topic – easy kids lunch ideas. Prep Dish founder and mom of 2, Allison Schaaf, shares her go-to kids’ lunches. No kids? No problem, these work great for adults too!
If you’re looking for easy, healthy kids lunch ideas, leftovers are one of the very best options! Double or even triple a dinner recipe to have on-hand for lunches. That said, you likely won’t always have leftovers on hand. These are some great choices when you need to cook up something quick.
Easy Kids Lunch Ideas
Proteins:
- Frozen Salmon (or any fish!) – Once it’s defrosted, it cooks so quickly.
- Frozen Ground Meat – Use for tacos, burgers, meatballs, etc.
- Frozen Chicken Wings – I get these from Imperfect Foods. Wings cook so quickly and my kids love them!
Veggies:
- Salad
- Green Beans
- Cucumbers
- Zucchini
- Frozen Broccoli
Starches:
- Sweet Potatoes
- Potatoes
- Rice
- Quinoa
Specific Meals:
- Salmon w/ Dill Mayo w/ Frozen Broccoli & Rice
- Burgers w/ Potato Wedges & Cucumbers
- Chicken Wings w/ Baked Sweet Potatoes & Green Beans
Mix & Match:
- Tacos – This is such a versatile option. Use what you have on hand! Different veggies like peppers & onions, any ground meat or leftover roast, salsa, avocado, etc.
- Bowls – This is a great way to use up leftovers! Use rice or quinoa as a base, some meat, beans, veggies and a sauce. Tzatziki or salsa work! Homemade ranch is also a delicious choice. With the kids, I keep the items separate.
- Stir Fry – Shrimp or other protein, any veggies and rice, quinoa or rice noodles. We have a simple stir fry sauce linked below!
