Hints & Tips : A Week's Menu of Healthy Lunch Boxes For Kids

We're in the middle of term, and the challenge continues: How do you pack a healthy lunch box for the kids day in and day out?

Well, this week we've been posting a new lunch box idea especially with kids in mind, every day, over on our 365 Lunch Box Challenge blog.

We've got this week's worth of healthy kids' lunchboxes as a handy menu planner. What's more, each kids lunch box menu meets the guidelines set out by the School Food Trust in terms of nutrition.

Now perhaps this is little known, but currently there are NO guidelines for packed lunches, only for school dinners. So this is all thanks to nutritionist, Juliette Kellow, who's very kindly put this menu together.

To Print Off the Lunch Box Menu Planner:

Simply click on the link and find attached the lunch box menu planner here, download it, and print it off.

It also highlights the nutritional information of these packed lunches, so you can rest assured, if you follow these menus (and the kids eat it!) that they are getting the same calories each day as they would if they were eating school dinners at lunch time.

So why not print it out, stick it to your fridge and try it.
