Exhausted by making lunches? Me too. Here’s some o Exhausted by making lunches? Me too. Here’s some of the things that I’ve been making my (almost 5) 7 year old this summer. 

Easy, quick, balanced and kids happily eat.

I make lunch in 5-10 minutes the night before so mornings go more smoothly. And I do it while we clean up from dinner so once the kitchen is cleaned, I’m done. 

You’ll notice a lot of repeat items— that’s because I know my kids will eat these things I don’t have the mental energy to get overly creative with lunch.  We can still ensure variety and balance without making things complicated!

Also always packed in our fav @lunchbots containers. 

Chicken salad
Mango + plum 
Crackers for one kid, tortilla chips for the other. 
Dried mango or figs 
Peppers for my younger son (7 yo doesn’t like many raw veggies so we skipped that today)

*For my kids, sending new foods at lunch is no longer a good strategy. But when we were younger, it often helped them learn to like new foods because they were often more likely to try new things in that social situation. Now it’s a guarantee for food waste. So I don’t bother sending veggies I know he won’t eat.*

This must’ve been a Friday  when I’m scrounging for for what to send😂 

Kid 1: pepperoni, olives, strawberries @badabeansnacks @solelyfruit gummies

Kid 1 got lunch at camp

Kid 2: @good_culture cottage cheese, sourdough crackers for scooping, dried fig, carrots, and hummus, white nectarine

Kid 1: sliced turkey from @costco, Russian dressing (in the orange containe), @theskinnypop, olives, cherries

The mindset shift that will change everything (for The mindset shift that will change everything (for you and your kid): 

Your job is never to get your kid to eat vegetables.

The moment it becomes your job to make them eat it, they are more likely to resist it. That’s just human nature. 

Instead, your job is to build the environment that empowers them to want to try the foods and learn to like the foods. 

It feels backwards, because it often means doing less in the moment. 

But we can also use tools and strategies to help your kid try (and actually like) new foods, faster. 

If you feel stuck in a “just one bite” battle with your kid, that’s a sign we need to shift your approach and get to the root of why they’re eating fewer foods or resisting trying anything new. 

That’s exactly what I’ll help you do.

Cookouts are tough. If you struggle with food noi Cookouts are tough.

If you struggle with food noise, then you know how hard it can be to present at events where your brain can only focus on the buffet table.

You spend more time negotiating with yourself on what you can have, are constantly doing mental math on how much you’re allowed, and struggle to focus on the conversations with others because all your brain can think is:

FOOD!

The good news is that this can get easier.

You can learn how to turn all of that chatter off and enjoy going to BBQs, parties and special events without worrying about what you’ll put on your plate.

A few additional tips: 

🧁 The silicone liners are optional, but they let each kid grab their own cup for foods that aren’t shared — like their own cherries, dips, and chicken salad. 

Plus they keep things separate, which is helpful for picky eaters! 

🥨 If your kid is obsessed with packaged snacks, adding in one or two alongside other whole foods can be helpful to normalize.

We often add chips, goldfish, pretzels, or even m&ms for a fun food alongside the meal. 

My kids eats plenty of packaged snacks at camp, so I skipped those today. 

🍴Use toothpicks or mini tongs for more fun eating and grabbing the food.
“Can we have ice cream?!” You want to say yes. P “Can we have ice cream?!”

You want to say yes.

Popsicles and ice cream cones are a normal part of summer.

But whenever you say yes, you find yourself worrying about the sugar, their weight, their habits.

On the flip side, whenever you say no, you start to worry that you're making sweets into some forbidden thing that they'll obsess over even more.

It feels like a lose-lose situation.

Until I step in to help.

"Sarah helped us see that the way we were serving and talking about food actually made the problem worse. She helped us relax our approach around mealtimes... Within weeks, our oldest left a few bites of ice cream in her bowl. More importantly though, I feel so much more at peace at meals, and I know my daughters can feel that too."

Before working together Amy was worried about her two kids.

They were hyper-focused on desserts (all the time!) and she was concerned they’d have issues with body image and weight.

Together, we were able to create a better game plan for how she approached meals and sweets that helped everyone.

If you need help figuring out your kid’s sweets fixation and get a real plan for mealtimes (and pool days) then DM me KIDS to learn more about my Nourished Kids Confident Mom coaching program.

How many summers have you waited on? 🌞 To put the How many summers have you waited on? 🌞

To put the swimsuit on.

Go on the hike.

Take a bike ride you haven’t taken in years.

Or just enjoy a scoop of ice cream (without any guilt!).

I know you keep telling yourself that you’ll do all of this when you lose the weight and stay on track with your diet.

The problem is that this was never really just about food.

It’s about all of the things you’ve been putting off or saying no to, even though you really (really!) want to say yes.

Liz felt the same way before working together. 

“Before working with Sarah I always said ‘I will be able to do that when I lose x amount of pounds, but I should never try now.’ I’m now so empowered that I started hiking in national parks, doing group exercise classes (not in the back row!) and had the courage to ride a bike for the first time in 20 years! I may not be the smallest size I have ever been, but my life is certainly more full than I ever imagined.”

You don’t have to wait for “when”.
