With today’s jam-packed schedules for kids, it is essential to pack healthy lunches for your child. GoLocalWorcester asked Joy Feldman, nutritional consultant and author of Joyful Cooking in the Pursuit of Good Health and Is Your Hair Made Of Donuts? for 10 easy ways to get children's meals up a notch.

Healthy lunches, said Feldman, "not only ensures that your young ones will stay fueled throughout the day with nutritious foods, but also helps to boost concentration and memory. For many of us, we are searching for magical foods that will not only delight our children, but also provide them with excellent nutrition. Incorporating foods that will infuse their bodies with superb fuel can be challenging, given their hyped-up romance with junk foods and fast foods. However, there are many options that are nutritious and delicious and best of all—they will not even notice."
