2. Cheese-Ham Rolls, Carrot & Cucumber Sticks
You can make cheese rolls with cheddar or with cream cheese and ham. I part-boil the carrots and cut up a few cucumber sticks. Add some oat biscuits too.
3. Shaped Sandwiches, Nuts & Fruit
Sandwich filing ideas: Ham & cheese, cream cheese and banana, peanut butter and home made strawberry jam, almond butter, tuna salad, chocolate spread with strawberries. For an alternative spread to almond or peanut butter, you can use pumpkin spread with some honey.
4. Grated Apple and Cheddar Quesadilla
To make the quesadilla, simply grate one apple and some cheddar cheese and combine them. Place the mixture inside a wholemeal wrap. Fold in half and cook in a frying pan until the cheese has melted. Cut in four triangles and it's ready to go. These are delicious and kids love them.
5. Crackers, Cheese and Fruit
This is a very simple idea, especially for those days that you're in a rush. Pop everything in the box, adding grapes or apple slices to enjoy with the cheese.
6. Veggie-egg Muffins, Fruit & Yogurt
To make these delicious muffins, simply chop a some green and red peppers, 1/2 tomato and 1 tablespoon of chopped onion. Combine them in a bowl with 1 egg, grated cheese, sea salt and pepper. Place mixture inside muffin cups and bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius
7. Chicken strips, Popcorn & Fruit
Those leftover pieces of chicken from dinner are a great option for the next day's lunch box. Add some popcorn on the side and a piece of fruit. Result: a very complete and nutritious lunch box.
8. Apple Chips, Nuts & Raisins
These apple chips are so easy to make! Simply slice an apple as thin as you can. Cover a tray with greaseproof paper. Place the sliced apple on top and bake for 30 minutes at 150 degrees Celsius. Allow them to cool down to crisp. You can sprinkle them with a bit of cinnamon -they are delicious! (You can make sweet potato crisps as well). Instead of the nuts you can use a mix of pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and coconut.
9. Almond Butter Rice Cake Sandwiches, Banana & Yogurt
This option is a quick and healthy one that kids love. For an almond butter alternative you can use pumpkin seed butter with 1 tablespoon of honey.
10. Baked Oats, Yogurt & Fruit
