It’s hard sometimes as i run out of ideas

Always gave my children fresh and fresher foods in their lunch boxes, but still so pleased mine grew up before the food police arrived in the schools.

yes i try for fresh ingredients as much as possible

It’s so hard to manage variety and healthy when. A Kid is in a picky phase!

We always plan for a bit of variety and that way no one gets bored with lunches.

  We do like good and filling lunches.

Lol. Love this. It’s so real.
I pack mostly healthy snacks for creche with the occasional packet of tiny teddies

lol – thanks for keeping it real! – I love your article and can so relate. I wish my kids would eat the stuff that Mrs Hemsworth has put in her kids lunch boxes – then it would look like hers I think!

I try to do every day something else in their lunchboxes. On Monday the had sweet potato waffles, on Tuesday they had a gluten free multi seeded bun with homemade sunflower seed spread, on Wednesday they had quinoa wraps, on Thursday they had homebaked glutenfree bananabread and on Friday they had buckwheat carob crackers. They always have carrots, roma cherry tomato, raw mushrooms, apple and grapes for crunch and sip and besides their lunch and I add coconut flakes in a pot and roasted broadbeans/chicknut/sweet corn, sometimes a boiled egg or a pot with natural greek yohurt. Also try to add every day a homebaked gingerbread man, cupcake or something like that preferably baked without sugar.

My daughter likes cheese and tomato sandwiches and fruit every day. I’ve asked her if she wants a change, but she says no. She has more variety in her diet with her breakfasts, snacks, and dinner, so I’m not too worried about lunch.

It’s so exhausting always coming up with healthy, yet delicious, lunch box lunches. And to also keep up a variety don’t try don’t get sick of same old stuff
