How to Pack a Healthy School Lunch (Your Kids Will Actually Eat)

Posted by Boston Organics on Aug 29, 2023 7:56:00 AM

Mention school lunches to a parent and you’re guaranteed to get an emotional response. We all remember the barely edible “food” that our own school cafeterias served, and while some schools are doing a better job of providing their students with tasty and nutritious lunch options, packing a lunch is still the best way to make sure our kids stay energized and ready to learn all day long.

Making healthy lunches for your children also teaches them positive eating habits for the future. But when it comes to school lunches, there’s nothing worse than having your kid throw out a meal that you spent money, time and energy putting together.

With junk food more accessible than ever, we want to make sure our kids are eating right when we’re not there. Below are five tips for packing a healthy school lunch that your kids will actually eat.

No More S’mores: Healthy Camping the Way Nature Intended

Posted by Boston Organics on Mar 3, 2019 10:05:00 AM

Camping is full of contradictions that somehow make a lot of sense. For example:

  • The farther you get from civilization, the closer you feel to the people you’re with.
  • The earlier you wake up, the more energy you seem to have.
  • The more serene it is, the more alive you feel.

But there’s one part of camping that just doesn’t add up. We go into the woods to clear our minds and fill our lungs with clean air, but then we fill our stomachs with candy bars and hot dogs. After going through all this trouble to connect to nature, why is traditional camping food so processed and unhealthy?

It doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, it’s relatively easy to eat healthy food when camping, as long as you’re conscious about it and plan ahead. Here are a few tips to help you eat healthy in the great outdoors. Scroll down to find our sample menu for a weekend camping trip.
