A well balanced healthy lunchbox is essential for growing kids. But what food groups should you include, and how can you vary the offerings from day to day?
Good4U‘s Dietician and nutritionist Michelle Butler explains that a “perfectly balanced lunch box should contain fluids, a portion of fruit and vegetable, protein, carbohydrate and most importantly to your child, a treat”. And those treats don’t have to be sweets! There are lots of great ideas listed below for making your own healthy lunchbox treats.
We particularly love the Good4u-ultimate-lunchbox Pick & Mix section too, that gives you plenty of suggestions for each of the food groups.
