Schools Back! Healthy Lunchbox Week

All set for back-to-school lunchboxes

Healthy Lunchbox Week (19 – 25 January 2020) is a Nutrition Australia initiative that aims to inspire parents and carers across Australia to create healthy lunchboxes their children will enjoy.

Be sure to get on board with Nutrition Australia’s three top tips for lunchboxes in 2020:

Balance the box

Kids eat around a THIRD of their daily food intake at school. Providing a balanced lunchbox goes a long way in shaping their health and helps kids concentrate and learn better at school. To get the balance right, think food from each of the five food groups.

Here are some great ideas to get started:

Grain foods - wholegrain crackers, all types of bread, pasta, rice.

Fruit - fresh whole fruits or cut up and placed in a container, tinned or dried fruit.

Vegetables - cherry tomatoes, capsicum sticks, snow peas, baby corn spears, salads in sandwiches, wraps or on their own.

Dairy - UHT plain milk poppers, cheese sticks, or a tub of yogurt.

Meat and alternatives - cold cuts of lean meat or shredded chicken; tinned fish such as tuna, salmon or sardines; boiled eggs, baked beans, hummus.

Get the kids involved

Kids are more interested in eating food they have been involved in deciding or creating themselves. Children as young as preschool age can help pack their own lunchbox and select from a range of healthy choices on offer. Let them choose their own fruit when shopping and be sure to guide them to the healthier sections of the supermarket when making decisions for the lunchbox. Use the health star rating system to help find the healthier options. A good rule of thumb is to look for products with four or more stars.

Older children can help prepare lunch dishes for the week ahead. Choose from snacks that keep well in an airtight container such as pita crisps, apricot bites or muesli slice. Recipes that can be stored in the freezer include mini muffins, savory scrolls, mini meatballs or chicken nuggets.

Reduce your waste

Try to choose foods that create less waste and minimize use of single use plastics.

Using reusable containers, drink bottles or lunchboxes will limit litter on the playground and prevent waste going to landfill. Look for reusable lunchboxes and snack containers specifically designed to keep food fresh throughout the school day.

Use air-tight containers for packing cut up fruits or vegetable instead of single use plastic bags.

Place sandwiches in their own sandwich box – not only does it help to keep them fresh but prevents squished sandwiches ending up in the bottom of the school bag.

Chicken Salad with Apples and Bacon

Chicken Salad with Apples and Bacon

When it comes to family meals I plan everything, including lunchboxes and dinners. Snacks and breakfasts are all in my head and are mostly based on seasonal availability and the children’s current taste preferences. Without a planhow can you ensure balance and stay within a budget? Sourcing and purchasing high quality ingredients takes time and effort so I want to make sure there is little waste.
