Health Tip: Vary Your Child's School Lunch

If your child is tired of the same old sandwich, try spicing up lunch with more creative fare.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says fun alternatives to school-lunch sandwiches include:

• Roll lunch meat inside a wrap, using pita bread or a tortilla in a fun color.
• Wrap a slice of deli meat around a slice or stick of cheese.
• Stack the usual sandwich toppings on crackers, instead of bread.
• Create a salad with greens, cheese, nuts and beans.
