Food for thought
Despite all good intentions, it’s easy to get stuck in a lunchbox rut a few
weeks (or days) into the new school term. Here are 5 quick hacks to make lunchbox life a little easier!
- Cook a little extra of what you are making at mealtimes and serve the next day.
- Invest in a food jar to keep food nice and hot until the lunch bell rings.
- Put condiments like mayo, houmous or pesto – and wet toppings like tomatoes – in between cold meat cuts or cheese so that the sandwich doesn’t get soggy on the inside.
- Getting kids involved in the prep.
- A lunchbox with compartments is handy as you can get them picking and filling the box with new colourful fruits and veggies.
