Ready for Lunch

Tips to prepare ahead for the week

Keeping lunch boxes varied and nutritionally balanced can be quite a task! And when everything needs to be made without gluten there is an added challenge. But it doesn’t need to be as big a challenge as it seems with the following helpful tips! 

Planning and involving the child when making things for the lunch box is a great way to ensure everything is eaten. Lunches provide around one third of a child’s daily nutritional needs, so it is good to include a balance of protein, dairy, good carbohydrates, fruit, and vegetables. Some of the recipes here will include ways of sneaking in extra veg and fruit. 

Remember if you are including a food which is new to a child, they will need to taste it several times before liking it so don’t give up if it comes back on the first day! 

 Most kids love rice: Cook batch rice on an evening when it is for dinner. Cool the extra rice thoroughly under cold water, drain it and put into a container. Put lid on and keep it in the fridge. When cooling rice. It must be cooled completely under cold water and strain, keep in the fridge. It must be totally cold right through the rice to avoid the growth of bacteria, which could cause food poisoning.  This can be used for the next 3 to 4 days.
