17 Healthy School Lunch Ideas (That Your Kids Will Actually Eat)

For teens who are bringing lunch to school, finding ways to sneak in walnuts can offer way more than simply being a satisfying food. Researchers from Spain have found links between adolescents (age 11 to 16) who were able to eat about one handful, or a one-ounce serving, of walnuts daily for six months and improved attention scores and fluid intelligence scores.

This waldorf salad is a delicious and beautiful vessel for fueling your kid with nutrient-packed walnuts. Plus, eating this salad provides fresh fruit and veggies, too. Opt for yogurt as a dressing instead of mayo for a boost of live cultures, which can support gut health. And it's totally packable.
