BUSY DAYS MEAN it's time to roll out the portable, totable foods; especially those that are fairly nutritious. As I did my research for The Picky Eater column on crunchy backpack snacks, my pack overflowed... I ran out of space. Here are details on a couple more lunchbox items that I love -- and that deserved to be included.
- Organic Valley Stringles Organic String Cheese and Cheddar Cheese. I love the simplicity of this: Good tasting cheese in a plastic tube that's easy to open and even easier to eat. A pack of six 1-ounce cheese sticks is $5. http://www.organicvalley.com/
- Revolution Foods Organic Mashups Squeezable Fruit. These are just 3 ounces and come in a bunch of flavors. I like these because they're super kid-friendly, made with real fruit, and have just 60 calories per pouch. They're just over $1 each if you buy them on http://www.amazon.com/
