5 Lunch Needs and 50 Ways to Please & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

I have talked about lots of great organic foods this Back to School season that you can include in your child's lunchbox (or yours!) but today I want to share a great DRINK to include in any child's lunchbox this school year!

Horizon Organic®, a leading national organic dairy brand, is helping parents pack better lunch boxes this back to school season.

In collaboration with Elizabeth Somer*, a nationally-recognized registered dietician and author, Horizon Organic developed a “5 Lunch Needs and 50 Ways to Please” resource to aid in back to school lunch box packing. The list outlines the five main food groups and 10 great-tasting choices within each group to make packing a nutritious lunch easy and enjoyable. Together, parents and children can mix-and-match items from each food group to create a balanced packed lunch. Parents can then use the resource with marked selections as a simple grocery shopping list.

The complete “5 Lunch Needs and 50 Ways to Please Back to School Resource” is available on the Horizon Organic website at http://bit.ly/1cA9yd0.

One item included in Somer’s recommended list of lunch box foods is Horizon Organic Milk with 32 mg DHA Omega-3 Single Serve Milk Boxes. Introduced earlier this year in vanilla and chocolate flavors, Horizon Organic Milk with 32 mg DHA Omega-3 Single Serve Milk Boxes are an ideal option for families who want all of the nutritious benefits of milk, including 8g of protein, Vitamins A and D, and calcium, with the added benefit of DHA omega-3 to support healthy brain development. As the first shelf-stable milk box with 32 mg DHA omega-3, these new milk boxes are perfect for packed school lunches.

The idea is for kids and parents to use the tool together each week to pick and pack balanced lunches. My son and daughter LOVE these fun to drink from Milk Boxes and they are so easy to pack in any lunch box!

So, head back to school with Horizon Organic and don't forget to get some ideas for lunches from their great "5 Lunch Needs and 50 Ways to Please” resource!
