I have no good answer ;)</p> <p>I am going to see about trying some options to incorporate dairy into other foods and see how it goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lunches-dairy-options#post-1885169 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 06:58:20 +0000 Mamaof2 1885169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will she eat greek yogurt? Its nice and thick so it doesn't make a mess like regular yogurt </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lunches-dairy-options#post-1885133 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 06:01:37 +0000 blackbird 1885133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So....why are you including dairy? is it the calcium you want? Because there are lots of veggies that include calcium, you can just do that. As long as meals have protein, fat, and a veggie (fruit's a bonus), that's sufficient for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lunches-dairy-options#post-1885074 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 22:33:12 +0000 tororojo 1885074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried string cheese? Sometimes DD won't eat slices/cubes but has almost never passed up string cheese. I take it out of the package and break it into a few smaller pieces so her teachers don't have to help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lunches-dairy-options#post-1884833 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 17:15:59 +0000 Cole 1884833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about more things that incorporate dairy into other things? Quesadillas are a great option since it would be easy to add veggies and our beans. Maybe a soup? </p> <p>Are you aiming for more dairy for a specific reason? Perhaps upping protein and healthy fats that come from other food groups would work and you could double up at another time of day when it would be easier. I really like the lunch ideas on this website, maybe poke around there for inspiration:<br /> <a href="http://www.100daysofrealfood.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.100daysofrealfood.com</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lunches-dairy-options#post-1884807 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 16:46:30 +0000 woodentulip 1884807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been doing yogurt melts/bites, but I am feeling like they are a bit too sugary for my liking...and they seem to be only available in the baby food section, which weirds me out buying them for my almost 5 year old. Is that crazy of me? </p> <p>We can't send anything with packaging, so tubes and pouches are out and I am worried about my daughter being able to not break open a resealable one if I send that. Again...bonkers? </p> <p>Our school asks for only water to be sent to drink (and that is after they first said no to even water bottles, AHHHHH!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lunches-dairy-options#post-1884794 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 16:36:34 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1884794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Buttered whole wheat bread? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lunches-dairy-options#post-1884788 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 16:28:44 +0000 looch 1884788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What happens if you send the cheese as part of the main course, like whole wheat shells and cheese, or something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lunches-dairy-options#post-1884757 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 16:00:13 +0000 regberadaisy 1884757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to suggest yogurt bites / melts as well.</p> <p>Also LO will eat cheese on pizza but not melted in anything else. She also likes cheese slices. So I wonder if say your LO doesn't like slices would she like cubes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lunches-dairy-options#post-1884753 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 15:57:55 +0000 hellobeeboston 1884753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do yogurt pouches too, not as messy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lunches-dairy-options#post-1884752 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 15:57:23 +0000 hellobeeboston 1884752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cottage cheese?</p> <p>What about a cup of milk? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lunches-dairy-options#post-1884720 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 15:38:26 +0000 aegie 1884720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried the yogurt in the tubes? I get the stonyfield one from Costco and my LO loves them. I freeze them and by the time lunch comes, it's still cold for her to enjoy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lunches-dairy-options#post-1884694 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 15:23:14 +0000 mrsjyw 1884694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yogurt bites/melts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lunches-dairy-options#post-1884691 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 15:22:29 +0000 woodentulip 1884691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a weeeee bit particular about packing lunches and ensuring that every food group is represented. But I can't do yogurt (previous experience resulted in spills everywhere!), but my daughter just refuses all forms of cheese. Does anyone have any other ideas?<br /> I can't think of anything else that I can pack, and I am getting really sick of throwing out all that cheese that comes home every day! </p>
