The lunchbox for school and work is a difficult artform to master. It needs to be light, portable, not too messy and nutritious. If you’re taking it to work every day or giving it to your kids for their school lunch 5 days a week, you also need variety. How can you keep coming up with new ideas that fit the bill?

Here are some healthy lunchbox ideas to help you out.

Pasta Salad

Cook up some pasta the night before and mix it with mayonnaise, sweetcorn, tomato, red onion, pepper corns, olive oil and a little sweet chili sauce. Put it in a plastic box with a fork, and it’s easy to transport and get back home again with minimum fuss.

Fruit Mix

You should try to get some fruit for lunch every day. Even better if its a varied intake of different kinds of fruit. A great way to get a good variety is to make fruit salads you can tailor to your own taste. You might try a combination of fresh mango chunks, melon, grapes and apple, for example.

Fresh Omelet Sandwich

Fry up a hearty omelet with cheese, pepper and onions. Put it in a freshly baked roll or sandwich with butter and salad. Easy to carry, filling, high energy and delicious.

Anyone who attended school in the United States will undoubtedly have memories of eating lunch at school. While the food that was served to American kids wasn’t gourmet, there are certainly lots of foods that bring up nostalgic memories of eating lunch with friends in a cafeteria. Do you remember these classic school lunch items?

Smiley Potatoes

Instead of simply feeding us regular french fries, school lunch took it to a different level by serving us these inexplicably-shaped fried potatoes. Shaped like a smiley face, perhaps they were meant to make us all happy and giddy to be at school.

Rectangular Pizza

The pizza you could find at school was nothing like the kind you’d eat on the streets of Naples or New York, but it was certainly memorable. The plasticy “cheese” and the rectangular shape of these pizzas, which usually were topped with some unidentifiable meat, are hard to forget.

Fruit “Cocktail”

Was your school running low on fresh fruit on any given day? No worries, as they surely had a whole stock of industrial-sized cans of fruit “cocktail” to serve. Containing cherries, pear, pineapple, and soaked in a strange watery syrup, this tasted way better than it should have.
