The LunchMaster

Delivery of walk-in boxes on this bright summer day! Owner Ted Giouzelis and his son Mike are more excited than ever to add them to The LunchMaster kitchen. The storage units will help keep our food cold and crisp on warm, sunny days. Moreover, greater storage = greater outreach. We are in the works of expanding and serving more students fresh, wholesome meals! #schoolfood #food #photooftheday #summer #cool

Make sure to place your orders for our Margherita pizza this Friday! Our oven-baked pizza crust is piled with shredded parmesean cheese, fresh basil leaves, and sliced Roma tomatoes. Nutrition 101: Tomatoes are technically fruits, but they are generally categorized as vegetables. Tomatoes are a rich source of the antioxidant lycopene, which gives tomatoes a red color. The deeper and darker the tomato, the more lycopene it contains! Lycopene has been linked to a reduced risk of cancer, heart disease, and has many anti-aging properties. Getting to eat pizza while having health & beauty benefits? Sounds like a win-win situation to us! #pizza #school #schoollunch #lunch #tomatoes #healthy

Andif your family is squeamish about veggie patties, that’s okay too. You can easily incorporate veggies, including mushrooms, onions, and b...ell peppers, into lean ground meat patties for some added health benefits.

Introducing our new menu item--bagel, string cheese, & sunflower seeds! We will be serving it tomorrow at lunchtime, so make sure to put your orders in. Nutrition 101: Bagel-Our bagels are whole grain, meaning that whole wheat flour is the first ingredient. Due to its rich nutrient value, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that half of your grain intake should consist of whole grains. String cheese-String cheese is made by gently heating cheese, which allows its p...roteins to align together and makes it stringy. It's high protein and calcium content makes it great for on-the-go snacking. Sunflower seeds-Contains healthy fats and one third of your daily value of vitamin E, a vitamin that acts as an anti-aging nutrient. Food is truly a beautiful thing. #lunch #lunchtime #schoolfood #healthy #tasty #thelunchmaster #bagel #cheese #sunflower

We serve edamame (soybeans) every Monday during lunch! Edamame is a complete protein, meaning that it contains all of the essential amino acids in the perfect proportion for our dietary needs. Although most complete proteins come from meat, this is an exceptional caseand exceptionally delicious, at that! #healthy #thelunchmaster #lunchtime #lunch #edamame #schoollunch #tasty

We serve fresh fruits and vegetables daily, including baby carrots! Carrots deliver plenty of bang for their buck: One serving (~8 baby carrots)= 30 calories, 2.5g of fiber, and more than double the daily recommendation of vitamin A! At The LunchMaster, we believe healthy food should be tasty and fun. The carrot pizzas featured in this photo are made from croissant dough cut in the shape of carrots. After baking, layer the croissant with cream cheese. Top the carrot "root" with shredded carrots, and place broccoli to resemble the stem and leaves. #carrots #healthy #lunch #lunchtime #thelunchmaster #food #foodie #tasty
