1. Ready-to-eat Meal Boxes

Ready-to-eat Meal Boxes Kid version: Lunchables Pepperoni Pizza
Healthier upgrade: Starbucks Protein Bistro Box
As convenient and awesome Lunchables are, there are better options! For example, you can pick up a bistro box from Starbucks that's complete with fruits, cheese, and crackers with peanut butter!

2. Crackers

Crackers Kid version: Handi-Snacks Crackers 'n Cheez Dip
Healthier upgrade: Tribe Hummus To Go with Pita Chips
I'm sure you're already obsessed with pita chips and hummus but if not, it's a great alternative to crackers 'n cheez!

3. Yogurt

Yogurt Kid version: Sprinkl'ins
Healthier upgrade: Yopa Greek Vanilla Yogurt with Kellogg's Special K
I loved getting this yogurt for lunch as a kid! But now, I've swapped it for some greek yogurt with crunchy mix-ins like Kellog's Special K! It has way less sugar and has four times as much protein as Sprinkl'ins!

4. Pretzels

Pretzels Kid version: Pretzel Stix
Healthier upgrade: Hummus With Pretzels
By adding hummus to the pretzel mix, you get some protein and some healthy fat.

What you choose to wear while working out can have a significant impact on your comfort and performance. One essential item is the sports bra. Lack of proper support can lead to discomfort and muscle tissue damage. Choosing a good sports bra can help prevent these problems and ensure a great workout!

5. Pudding

Pudding Kid version: Snack Packs
Healthier upgrade: Dark Cacao Chia Pods
Chia seeds contain protein, fiber and healthy omega-3 fatty acids that benefit your brain and body! Plus, it's just as yummy!

I go straight for the chia pod, everything else sounds kinda meh. Could you make them yourself?

@Sroerish You can find chia pods at Whole Foods.

Where does someone get Chia pods?
