Milk Unleashed Lunchbox Makeover Contest & Prize Pack Giveaway

Do you need to pack lunch for your child on school days? Are you a creative chef when it comes to preparing healthy meals that appeal to children? Milk Unleashed is running a Lunchbox Makeover Contest on Facebook. One Grand Prize winner will receive a month's supply of shelf safe milk (ARV $250) and a few surprise goodies. One second prize winner will receive $50 worth of shelf safe milk and treats.

To enter, submit a picture or a description of your most creative recipe or ideas for healthy school lunches by 11:59pm PT on 9/10. Entries will be judged. Milk Unleashed has provided tips known as the Five Cs for tasty and healthy school meals. You may want to follow them for a winning entry in the contest!

1.Convenient – A package of string cheese is just as easy to toss in the lunchbox as a bag of salty, fatty potato chips. So is a box of raisins. And shelf safe milk. Keep some single-serve cartons in the freezer – then nestle one in the lunchbox, and they’ll keep the other items chilled until noon. Since healthy can be so easy, vow to pass on the junk!

2. Colorful – Research shows that kids eat with their eyes, and many colorful foods are healthy options. Like baby carrots, red grapes and bright green edamame. Buy the red or green tortillas for wraps. Or make some pasta salad with colorful corkscrew noodles.


3. Cut Up – Youngsters are much more likely to eat an apple (and other produce) if you cut it up for them. Especially if there is something to dip the wedges in…like peanut butter or yogurt and honey. Try cutting a sandwich in four strips or little triangles. Or make a mini kabob with rolled up lunchmeat, grape tomatoes and chunks of cheese on a toothpick.


4. Cute – Use a cookie cutter to shape a sandwich or vegetable slices. Get some fun printed napkins at the dollar store. Draw a smiley face on a banana. Need inspiration? Visit Milk Unleashed on Pinterest.


5. Cow – Embrace the cow! Dairy foods are packed with nutrients. Just one carton of shelf safe milk has 9 grams of protein and plenty of calcium and vitamin D. It’s just the right beverage to help kids learn and play all afternoon.
