Would Love to Eat

Let your kid be a part of it
  • Packing lunches for kids can be a dilemma for
    many parents. Here are some tips that will make
    the process easier while making sure your kid
    actually eats it.
  • Getting your child involved in the process of
    selecting what goes into their lunch box can have
    them feel empowered. Kids are more likely to
    enjoy their lunch realising that they helped in
    the preparation and packing.
  • Let them choose their favourite options from each
    healthy food group to be included in their lunch.
  • It is a good idea to take your child grocery
    shopping with you and educate them about healthy
    nutrition choices.
  • You can also designate a location in the kitchen
    to spend some one-on-one time with your kid and
    discuss their good and bad nutrition habits and
    likes and dislikes when introducing new foods in
    the lunch.

Make healthy foods appear fun and appetising
  • Maximising the creativity factor in your kids
    lunch can help encourage them to eat healthier
    and finish their lunch regardless of what is
    packed inside.
  • Cut interesting shapes out of regular foods like
    bread, cheese, meat and watermelon (or any other
    fruit) using cookie cutters.
  • The idea of eating foods on a stick is quite fun
    for kids. Use kids-friendly skewers to turn foods
    like miniature sandwich, cut-up fruits and
    chicken chunks into fun kebabs for your kid to
    eat.
  • Have your child pick a theme and include in their
    lunch wholesome foods that go with the theme.

Incorporate variety
  • Making small changes to your kids lunch once in
    a while can go a long way to keep lunch
    interesting for your kid. It will also help you
    to discover your childs favourites, likes and
    dislikes when introducing new food options in
    their lunch.
  • Eating fresh whole fruit is always recommended
    but if your child isnt a fan of fruit, you can
    try packing fruit roll-ups, dried fruit or frozen
    fruit slices.
  • You can swap fresh vegetable cut-ups for baked
    veggie chips.
  • If your kid is bored of seeing cheese strings in
    their lunch box, swap the same for single-serve
    yoghurt.
  • Hard boiled-eggs, beans and nuts can replace
    baked chicken or lean meats sometimes.

Encourage the love for home-made snacks
  • Snacking is something children eagerly look
    forward to. Take advantage of your kids love for
    snacks to up their lunch nutrition value by
    packing homemade snacks and treats in their lunch
    box. There are countless snack recipes for kids
    you can experiment with.
  • And when you dont have enough time to make
    something at home add Kuranda Wholefoods healthy
    lunch box snacks, chia bars, trail mix or
    gluten-free protein bites in your kids lunch box
    when you are too busy to prepare snacks on your
    own.
  • So, now that you have these tips its time to
    pack healthy yet tasty foods for your kids to go
    through the day.
