Healthier Lunchboxes for your family

It can be difficult to tmake your child’s lunchbox healthy and varied. It’s really easy to keep putting the same things in, especially if they are a fussy eater. Better Health say:

“Whether squeezing it in before the school run in the morning or before bed on busy midweek evenings, preparing your child’s lunchbox can seem like just another thing on the list.”

 

Better Health has some great ideas for lunchbox swaps to make your child’s lunch healthy and filling. Swapping a sandwich for pittas or wraps, crisps for homemade popcorn or fruit can make an interesting and colourful lunch that they’re more likely to eat.

Take a look at these healthy, colourful swaps, many of which use up leftover meats or fish or salad so are a great way to reduce food waste too.
