There is nothing more important than making sure your kids have a healthy school lunch to get them through the day. With a little pre planning you can make sure they not only have a healthy 5 day meal plan filled with nutrients but you will also avoid that morning fridge and pantry scramble for ideas. Here are a few tips to get your kids school lunches organised:

• Plan your kid’s lunches at the same time you plan your weekly meals
• Pre- make and freeze. You can pre-make various meals and snacks ahead of time. Take a look at the Frost Bite cook book for ideas. Click here to view.
• Get the kids involved and ask them what they would like to eat. They can also help make natural muesli bars.
• Always include fresh fruit and vegetables.
• Think about the presentation, how does the food look inside the lunch box. Cut different shape fruit or use sandwich shape cutters. Be creative - the kids will love it!
