Are You Stuck in a Lunch Box Rut?
You're not alone. Packing school lunch boxes can be a chore, and if you have more than one child then you have to try and figure out who is going to eat what!
But fear no more. We have some simple ideas to help make your week easier 🍰
When my son started prep, the school gave us a letter of acceptable and no acceptable food. The biggest takeaway I got from the letter was was include at least 1 of each food groups. Simple!
- Carbohydrate
- Protein
- Fruit
- Veg
- Dairy
These food groups fit perfectly into an Ecococoon Bento 5 Lunch Box.
Here are some ideas for each section
Main Course
