VARIETY IS THE SLICE OF LIFE
Skip the same ol’ sandwiches and upgrade to these outside- the lunch-box surprises. Your kid’s faces will light up when they see that you’ve taken lunch to a new level. You can even do the same for your own work lunch.
MAKE IT DIFFERENT: Sometimes just changing a few things can ring through the changes for an exciting lunchbox.
CUT IT DIFFERENTLY: From triangles to using biscuit cutters for variety.
CHANGE THE BREAD you use: use wholewheat for the top and white underneath to get them eating something a little more healthy. ALTERNATE FOR something like pizza, it is great cold in lunch boxes.
MUFFINS ARE PERFECT snacks. Make them big or small but make in batches and freeze so you can alternate sweet and savoury on a daily basis.
