| The coolest lunch ever. Not to mention the easiest. If peanut butter is off limits at your child’s school, use cream cheese instead. |

Ingredients
|
|
|
1 hot dog bun (whole wheat, if possible) |
|
|
|
1 whole banana |

1. Spread one inner surface of a split hot dog bun with the peanut butter or cream cheese. Spread the other side with jam or honey. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in your child’s lunch bag. Also pack a whole banana (in the peel) and a small container of toppings--raisins, coconut, peanuts or whatever else you can think of. |

2. At lunch time, your child can peel the banana and place it into the bun. Sprinkle on the toppings and eat! |
