At Allparenting.com, Caesar salads topped the list for innovative lunch ideas to engage children this coming school year. By separating the salad components into different compartments, kids are given the opportunity to seize control of their lunchtime meal, building and modifying proportions of their salad toppings as they see fit. According to Talor Garland of Bloombang Creative Services, the element of mixology is crucial to holding a child’s attention during mealtime.
Ready Pac Bistro Bowls provide an obvious fit for this insight with convenient all-inclusive bowl salads. Not only do they come in a variety of flavors (with separated components that are perfect for meal customization and mixology), but they are produced with Ready Pac’s proprietary single-seal-technology to keep each salad fresh all week long – making kids’ lunch planning as easy as scooping up a weeks’ worth of their favorite Ready Pac Bistro Bowl salads in the produce aisle.
Just as important, according to Just Kid Inc., is the healthy food factor. In a recent study the company conducted with 300 kids aged 8 to 12 about school lunches, 72 percent of respondents said they wished there were healthy products with a taste they like during lunchtime at school. A key element of encouraging consumption of fresh, healthy fruits and vegetables is a tasty dip. That’s why Ready Pac created Ready Snax, an ingenious array of on-the-go ready snack packs that pair fresh fruits and veggies with a delicious dip or treat. Ready Snax are available in 5 delicious flavor combinations, including:
• Apples & Cheese with Caramel Dip
• Apples, Granola & Yogurt
• Veggie, Cheese & Pretzel
• Veggies & Cheese with Ranch Dip
• Veggies, Hummus & Sunflower Seeds
