Back to school Lunchbox Solutions

Lunchbox snacks are an opportunity to top up children’s nutrient requirements and restore energy levels, which helps with focus and concentration in class. Making everything from scratch for your child’s lunchbox is time-consuming. But you can still have a healthy lunchbox and include some packaged food items, if you keep these helpful tips in mind:

• Whole Grains & fibre – help to refuel active children & help them feel fuller for longer

• Sugar – avoid options that are high in added sugars

• Colours & flavours – look for snacks that don’t contain artificial colours or flavours

• Nut free – to eliminate any risk of food allergies
