Involve your teen - teens who help are more likely to eat their lunch.
Always look for new ideas & surprises within the realm of things that your teen likes to eat.
Remember what they like today may not be what they like next week.
Have containers to pack the lunches into, ziplock bags, mini plastic tubs, this allows them to pack little bits of different items.
Enable your teen to pack a healthy lunch, purchase healthy items and snacks.
Prepare salads and sandwich fillings that are easy too grab out the fridge and prepare for their lunch.
DIY Wrap, pack the parts of a wrap allowing your teen to assemble the wrap when they are ready, this helps avoid the wrap from getting soggy.
When packing salads, pack the dressing separately, don''''t forget to pack a spoon or a fork.
Here's an idea, increase your teens pocket money on condition that they become responsible for their school lunch. They can either buy lunch at school with their new found increase, or they can take advantage of Mom's excellent purchasing skills, pack their own lunch & save that extra bit of cash for that item they have been nagging you for for how long?
There is not much else that can be said here, teens in fact should be packing their own lunches, shouldn't they?
WARNING: Check ingredients in items purchased and recipes used that may contain nuts. Some schools don't allow these products due to allergy concerns.
