I'm needing some sack lunch ideas!

[sadie77 1]

I am a bus driver for our local school district. I'm driving for a field trip on Friday (for my daughters class ) I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good cold sack lunch to take with me. Just to let everyone know, I dont do tuna, yogurt, or cottage cheese. LOL Thanks and I cant wait to read your suggestions!

Hi Sadie

I'd say go with some an apple or banana, some lean lunch meat, low fat cubed cheese and a few crackers. That always works for me! Granted you may not be able to eat all of it, but it's a good mix of things to keep you full!

Good luck, have fun on the field trip :thumbup:

Thanks Maggifer! I wasnt sure about crackers but I guess I could give them a try. My daughter wants a lunchable but I wasnt sure if I should eat that too. Thanks again!

For my on the go lunches I usual take the following...

Slice of turkey, spread a little cream cheese on it (I use chive flavor) and roll it up. Put that in a baggie, take a cheese stick and a few almonds....and I am good to go!

I do not do on the go very often, so I pretty much just stick to that when I do. I am a creature of habit anyway .

Good luck on Friday!

I've been addicted to this salad I've been making the last couple weeks and It's so easy!

I warm up a teriyaki chicken breast from Tyson low carb grillers in the frozen food section and I add salad mix, just a few raisins and almonds or cashews. I love the Kraft light Asian toasted sesame dressing to go with it. I bet it would keep just fine as long as you add the dressing when you're ready to eat it and kept it cold with an ice pack.

Hope you have fun!

The other ideas given are great too!

I wouldn't do the lunchable thing....those are anything but health food.

Ham and cheese roll-ups are pretty easy (for that matter it doesn't even have to be ham if you don't like ham) sometimes I used sliced cheeses and sometimes I will use a flavored cheese spread.

Don't forget your Water so that you will be getting your fluids in.

And most importantly.......God Bless YOU on a bus full of kids!!!

Great idea wstorm, Thanks bunches!

That sounds wonderful sillygoose! I have to drive the bus for 3 field trips in next 6 days of school so I'm going to give that a try!

Very true about the lunchables bigmomma! Thanks for the blessing! Ive been driving a bus since December and Ive had a few days that I wondered if this was a correct career choice! LOL I love all the kids on my route and love to some times be the first smiling face they see in the mornings!

I think I'm going to do turkey and cheese roll ups, some carrots, and maybe an apple or some sugar free pudding. Lots of Water ofcourse...hope there are bathrooms near us! LOL

Well the field trip went well until we went to skating rink and a lil girl fell and possibly broke her arm in 2 places. I was the closest adult so I got the pleasure of immobalizing it. All I have to say is TGIF! I need a break after todays events!
