Get them to happily eat veggies by cutting cucumbers and carrots into thin sticks and pairing them with your child’s favourite hummus or yogurt dip. Use the previous night’s leftovers for delicious sandwich fillings. Mini meatballs, chicken mayo or even pasta salad can go straight from the fridge into the lunchbox. Use tortilla wraps instead of regular bread to put a fun spin on plain old toasties. This also means that you can change up the fillings – maybe try fajitas as well!
Let your child have a say in the content of their lunch box if they are proud of their lunch, they will enjoy eating it in front of friends. Children often leave food that takes a lot of effort to eat, so give your child pre-prepared (peeled and chopped) fruit and vegetables in a variety of colours for a more vibrant lunch! Try to keep your child’s lunch box exciting and varied. Quick ideas such as filled pitta pockets, quiche and homemade pizza slices are simple and easy to prepare in advance. fact magazine
