Give the kids a lunch menu to choose from. It gives them the freedom to choose what they want but limits the options so you don’t have to buy a million different things to keep them happy!

Leftovers For Lunch

Cook more than you need for dinner, leftovers make great packed lunches and saves on extra prep and cooking!

Freeze It

Freeze things like juice cartons, yogurts, or bottles of water. It acts as a cool box and keeps the whole lunch box fresh!

Pre-Sliced Apple

Pre-cut an apple then reassemble it and wrap a rubber band or cling film around it to stop is going dry or brown. Plus, it makes it easier for kids to eat and are therefore much more likely to finish it!
