Dukey's Golden School Lunch Packing Rules

Packing a healthy lunch keeps young brains alert and engaged through afternoon classes:

🥜100% School-Safe & Nut-Free: Swap peanut butter with creamy sunflower seed butter (SunButter) so lunches are safe for nut-free classrooms!

🧊Cold Packs for Perishables: Always slide a reusable ice pack next to dairy, yogurt jars, and sliced meats to keep them crisp and chilled.

🍲Preheat the Thermos: Fill insulated containers with boiling water for 5 minutes before pouring in warm soups or marinara dipping sauce.

🌈Color = Brain Energy: Aim for 3 different colors in every lunchbox (like green spinach, orange carrots, and red apple wedges) for full vitamins!
