Lunchables now has bread made with whole grains!

As a mom, life can totally be overwhelming sometimes. Not only are the kids in school, but so am I. I have found myself stressed with homework and studying for big tests, and have been supplementing many of the kids' home made lunches with more convenient pre-packaged kinds. The kids love Lunchables, and now with the new breads made with whole grain, I can love them even more.

Lunchables Lunch Combinations has recently expanded their better-for-you lunch selections to include even more varieties that offer the same great taste and wholesome products Moms can feel good about.

Over the last few years, Lunchables has worked hard to improve their products by reducing overall sodium content, fat and calories by at least 20% throughout their product lines, and adding spring water and fruit to various lunches. Newly available options such as the Chicken and American Sub Sandwich as well as Chicken Strips, along with old favorites like the Deep Dish Cheese Pizza, now come with DOLE Mandarin Oranges. Lunchables provides improved lunch options with 100% white meat chicken, reduced-fat cheese and whole grain bread. And the already easy to go container now has many recyclable parts, making them a more environmentally friendly option.

The kids are still getting the brand they love, but with wholesome foods that I can feel better about them eating, no matter how busy my life as a mom gets. Face it, we can't be there to watch everything that our kids put into their mouth, but with healthier choices like the new Lunchables line, I know they are enjoying more satisfying foods.

Keep on the lookout for Lunchables new "Made with Whole Grain" labels popping up in grocery stores all over the country. Special thanks to Mom Central and Lunchables for allowing our family to try these products at no cost.

"I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Lunchables and received the products necessary to facilitate my review. In addition, I received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate."
