Watermelon Squares
Summer is salad and watermelon time – a light and juicy, nutrient-packed combination. This Chef Salad is a mix of chicken, cheese, grated carrots, and lettuce stirred into a good ranch dressing (Simply Organic brand). The Berry Blast smoothie is made with almond milk, blueberries, carrots and banana. Add some ice to make it very refreshing! We threw in some Peanut Butter Pretzels for munchie appeal. As in our last newsletter, we topped this menu off with watermelon that has been cut into squares. Watermelon is one of the sweet ways to pack your kids with nutrients. Plus it hydrates them on a hot day. As light as this lunch seems, your kids’ tummies will be perfectly full for the rest of the day. And, check out all the phytonutrient colors found in this lunch box menu!
