Looking for some Sack Lunch ideas/tips?

Sandwiches:
-
Make a wrap instead of a sandwich - same concept, new presentation!
-
Try a variation on Peanut Butter & Jelly (ex. Peanut Butter & Banana, Peanut Butter & Honey, Peanut Butter, Jelly, & Apple, Almond Butter & Jelly, etc.)
-
Egg, Tuna, or Chicken Salad - You can put lettuce between the bread and the salad to keep the bread from getting soggy.
-
-
Snacks:
-
Ants on a Log (Celery w/Peanut Butter & Raisins) or change it up with Almond Butter and/or Craisins

Carrots and Hummus

Pretzels (or Pretzel Chips!)
