Applegate®
The Great Organic Beef Hotdog
Roasted Potatoes
Sauerkraut ~ Baby Carrots
Fresh Fruit
Gluten free if taken without the bun
The hot dogs are from Applegate Farms - so they are far better than many hot dogs but are hot dogs nonetheless. They have 8g of fat and 330mg of sodium. The ingredients are just: beef, water, sea salt, less than 2% of the following: celery juice, sodium lactate (from beets), lactic acid starter culture (not from milk), onion powder, spices, garlic powder, paprika. They have 6g of fat(2.5g saturated) and 380 mg of sodium. They are dairy-, casein- and gluten-free. They promote it as nitrate-free but this NYT article indicates the nitrate issue is tricky - andcites the company saying their bacon has the same level (naturally) of cancer-causing nitrates as conventional brands. You may also not want your kids growing up thinking hot dogs are a good lunch given the potential link between processed meats and cancer. The bun is whole wheat.
The sauerkraut I believe is canned but don't quote me on that. Carrots and fruit are fresh.

The salad bar is available for sides and as a full lunch.
I tried this smoothie this weekend and the kids loved it. The cucumber gives it a refreshing taste.
