Nowadays, the focus on packing lunches seems to be either on (a) prepackaged items or (b) perhaps something high in protein to keep the students alert and energized for the rest of the day.
“Protein is one of those “magic” nutrients – the kind that can help you stay full and satisfied, even when you’re watching calories and portion sizes. If you’re struggling to meet daily protein goals, adding real-food, protein-packed snacks is a great way to boost your intake without the artificial ingredients often found in some protein supplements.”
