At the end of the month Publix Deli will offer five proprietary fresh, ready-to-eat kids’ meals –– including an entrée, two sides and a drink –– for $3.99.

The deli worked with Publix’s in-house registered dietician to ensure each meal was balanced, wholesome and nutritious, according to a company statement. Although made and packaged fresh daily in the store’s deli department, Publix Deli kids’ meals cannot be customized.

“Our customers look to us to provide meal solutions, and finding nutritious meals for their children is no exception,” said Maria Brous, Publix director of media and community relations. “Whether as a solution to back-to-school meal planning or for families on the go, our new Publix Deli kids meals are the perfect solution to the question of ‘What’s for lunch or dinner?’”

The featured selections include: Chicken tenders on a honey wheat roll with mini carrots, kid’s yogurt and fruit drink; Ham sandwich thins with mini carrots, kid’s yogurt and apple juice; peanut butter apple wrap with string cheese, mini carrots, kid’s yogurt and fruit drink; peanut butter on a honey wheat roll with string cheese, apple sauce, mini carrots and fruit drink; turkey on a honey wheat roll with an apple and grape packet, mini raisins and organic white milk.

Publix operates 1,020 stores in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee.
