Pack Your Own Lunch

If you pack your own lunch when you’re putting together your childrens lunches you could be saving yourself a tidy sum of money. Working Moms Against Guilt have put together some suggestions for grown up packed lunches. (No Trader Joes’ near you? Try Brown Cow Yogurt!)

Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers: A new addition to the HC lineup, but doesn’t require freezing or refrigerating. I just tried the Rotini & Zesty Marinara Sauce–it was surprisingly good(I’m not a big fan of their frozen entrees).

Jello No Sugar Added Pudding Cups: Only 60 calories and they come in dark chocolate or chocolate/vanilla swirl. Yum!

Sugar snap peas or baby carrots: These are no-fuss snack veggies that go well with your main dish or curb mid-afternoon cravings.

Trader Joe’s single-serve creamy yogurts: OK, so they contain more calories than, say, Light ‘n’ Fit (140 vs. 80). But oh my God they are good!
