LUNCHBOX INSPO // can you believe it’s already term 4? My eldest doesn’t go to school yet but I sometimes find it hard to come up with lunch ideas for daycare 🤔
As a dietitian, I like to focus on the five food groups when I’m putting a lunchbox together. There are fruit, grains, veggies, protein (meats & alternatives) and dairy.
Here are my top 3 tips:
1️⃣ Focus on variety and try to change it up slightly everyday to make it more interesting (such as change the filling of the sandwich, add a different fruit or vegetable)
2️⃣ Involve the kids in the prep as they’re more likely to enjoy their lunchbox food if they’re involved in the process
3️⃣ Use a bento-style lunch box so the foods don’t get mixed up together. This is great for picky eaters and offering a variety of foods. I love using containers from
Smash is Australian owned and a leading brand providing storage and hydration solutions. What I love about their products is that they’re free from BPA and their commitment to sustainability 🌍
Their range is amazing for packing lunchboxes for kids and some of them can also be used by adults 😉 I’m a big fan of their bento boxes and stainless steel range.
