10 Quick Lunch Box Recipes

Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches are standard field trip fare in our household. No refrigeration needed and a good combo of protien, carbs and sweetness to keep the kids going.

At home we've also jazzed up the old classic with sliced bannanas, but what a great idea to add other flavors! Raisins, granola and chocolate chips are truly gorp inspired and would be great to add for a day hike.

For a bit more sophistication, swap white bread for a croissant and pack a side of julienned red bell peppers, cucumbers and carrots. Sliced strawberries add a perfect finishing touch. (Well, OK, in my house the strawberries would be the appetizer, but they're great with PB & J either way!)
