We want to know: what’s in YOUR lunch bag?
Lunch is important! Whether you’re working from the 5th floor or the 5th grade, it’s a fact of life: the better you eat, the better you feel – and the better you feel, the better you work!
So tell us. What kind of brain food do you pack in YOUR lunch? Do you include a mid-morning snack or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up? Is there a secret ingredient you just can’t leave at home?
We’re looking for the yummiest, healthiest, most creative lunch ideas you’ve got! And the winner is up to YOU.
This is a new kind of contest for the blog. Here’s how it works:

Farrah Leigh’s lunch sound the best
I have access to blenders where I work, so I bring things like a banana, a mango or peach, raspberries, almonds, and protein powder to blend in to a fruit smoothie. Sometimes I’ll even throw in some spinach or other vegetable puree to bump up the nutrition factor.
I vote for Farrah Leigh’s lunch. It sounds yummy!
I vote for December Fields lunch
I love cereal!!! Especially in the summer if that’s going to be my lunch I put a bowl in the freezer and when it’s lunch time it makes the milk so good and cold!
2nd. choice is a peanut butter sandwich on a nutty whole wheat topped with “fresh blueberries”! You would not believe how wonderful this is instead of using jam.

I have been packing lunch for both my son and I since he started school – he tried school lunch and found it gross.
His current favorite is greek chicken salad in a pita. Grilled chicken, tzatziki, tomatoes, lettuce, olives mixed together and stuffed into a pita.
He starts college this fall and plans to bring his lunch even then!
Christine Riggs!

I vote for Christine Riggs. Lunch is good.
My baby sister is the queen of lunch packing…to her – it’s an event. At 48, she sent me my lunch box for the year – she adds me to her kid’s school supply list. My ensemble this year? Scooby Doo Mystery Van Lunch Box and I carry it proudly. I typically pack it with a banana and peanut butter sandwich on seven grain bread, a peach if it’s the season – green apple otherwise, a snack pack of almonds, and carrot and celery sticks – I need a whole bunch of textures. My secret ingredient? My nine year old nephew and I play a game called “Add to the Story” . Each school year we start a story…one line at a time. The first line is in Zac’s lunch box…he adds a line and my sister sends it to me via e-mail…I add my line at lunch and send it back to her. She prints it off and sticks it Zac’s lunch the next day…then he adds a line and so on and so forth. At Christmas we finish the story off and feel confident that we are the best writer’s yet to be discovered. More importantly I love that I get to connect with my nephew daily. It’s the healthiest thing in my lunch box – keeps my spirits up, emotional balance and I feel the love.
