Summer vacation has ended, and it is time for all the little munchkins to return to school. As difficult as it is for them to finally get out of the summer mode and get into the regular schedule, we also understand how busy and chaotic the prepping time can get every morning for all you moms & dads out there!
To ease your load (just by a little bit), we have put together a few simple snack options to pick from for your Li'l one's lunch/snack box that is fun and healthy!
| Classic Pancakes |
You cannot go wrong with pancakes, no matter how fussy an eater a kid is! An easy peasy breakfast option prepared using simple ingredients + 5 minutes of your time. All you need is some all-purpose flour, add in eggs, milk, and salt + whip it up. Butter up that pan and pour in the mix. Layer it and top it up with fresh berries or your favourite fruits with a generous dash of maple syrup. Tada! Breakfast is ready to be served.
| Cheese and Turkey Roast Sandwich |
A quick lunch fix that is not only delicious but is also easy to prepare. Toast a slice of bread, apply butter, and layer it with fresh lettuce and tomato slices. Top it up with rolled-up turkey roast slices and cheese. Next, add another layer of lettuce with the top layer of buttered bread. A tasty sandwich that is perfect for a lunch break! The fresh veggies bring in a refreshing feel, while the cheese and turkey ham add the required flavour and protein!
| A Classic Jam Sandwich |
An oldy but for sure a goldy, that has been a favourite snack pick for ages now! Correct us if we are wrong, but no one can beat the classic jam sandwich in the simple and light evening snack department. The time required to prepare it is 5 minutes, the ingredients required are just 3, and the chances of your Li'l one not liking it is zero! Spread some butter on a slice of bread, top it up with the flavourful berry, plum, apricot or any jam flavour of your Lil one’s choice and layer another slice of bread on top. Less messy, more fun! You can even try some chocolatespread along with butter too.
| Mixed Fruits |
A healthy lunch box is incomplete without at least one fruit, and you know what is even better than one? Adding a variety of slices that it is colourful and make their way into Li'l one's tummy, like some nutrient-rich berries, grapes, kiwi and much more! We recommend picking fruits that are currently in season to make sure they are fresh and delicious.
