LunchBox_ideas-01 se When making salad sandwiches for lunch use mayonaise instead of butter as it will stop the bread going soggy
LunchBox_ideas-01 I make a yummy tuna pasta salad for my kids lunches, you could add anything to it you like, my kids like was olives, peppers, spring onions, pickles and tuna with an Italian dressing!
LunchBox_ideas-01 I use small lunch boxes with 3 sections that I bought in Cleary's department store, In one section I put in a sandwich, the next either carrot sticks, celery, cherry tomatoes or Cucumber and the next section fruit pieces or berries. The box is small and neat and stops foods mixing together.
LunchBox_ideas-01 Mackerel fillets (in tomato sauce tinned variety) in sandwiches makes change from tuna/Mayo for kids who like them!
LunchBox_ideas-01 Buy a pack of strawberries and blueberries for €6, wash and chop them up, mix a few together and put in plastic container. its 2 of your 5 a day, and colourful for lunchboxes!
LunchBox_ideas-01 Homemade pizza. It's the favourite dinner of the week and we always make sure to make it on a schoolnight, so there's pizza for lunch too the next day. Delicious cold and easy to cut into lunchbox-friendly shapes.
LunchBox_ideas-01 •Peanut Butter (sugar and salt-fee) on Wholegrain Brown Bread. •Banana Bread made with Natural Yoghurt and Prunes (moist and SO YUMMY!). •Oatmeal, Granny Smith Apple and cinnamon muffins (milled flax, sesame and sunflower seeds incorporated).
LunchBox_ideas-01 Freeze Frubes in the freezer and put in lunchbox in the morning. The frozen frubes are a novelty and they aren't as messy as yogurts.
LunchBox_ideas-01 Pasta with italian tomato sauce wraps filled with tuna & sweetcorn which is mixed together with small amount of mayo chicken (chopped and small amount of mayo to mix) wrap, cheese can be added too a tub with chopped mixed peppers & cherry tomatoes cheese triangles with crackers
LunchBox_ideas-01 Rolling ham and cheese slices together into long sausage shapes looks really appetizing and fun! Kids can even have the fun making them for their lunch!
