Have you ever wondered what to put in your child’s lunchbox?

• Choose a wholegrain bread, rice or pasta as it keeps children fuller for longer.
• Try wraps, pita or Turkish bread for variety.
• Fillings can vary from a variety of cold meats, such as turkey, chicken, ham or tuna to dipping foods such as guacamole, hommus or taramosalata.
• Remember the nutritious veggies such as carrot sticks, cucumbers, celery and capsicum.
• Always add salad to sandwiches.

When choosing a lunchbox there are a few things to consider:

BPA Free – so it is safe to store food inside
Sections – separate spaces for different foods
Size – one lid and it should fit easily in a school bag
Perfect Seal – to keep food fresh
Ice Brick – to keep food fresh, especially in the warmer months
Reusable – dishwasher safe.

Top tip: Avoid plastic wrapping such as zip lock bags to protect the environment and reduce waste.
