The lovely drinks went down a treat. Juicy Drinks are fruit juices diluted with a splash of water. I really like giving these to my kids. Like the other Innocent products, they don't contain any sweeteners and additives and they are not made from concentrate.
Inside the lunchox was an envolope full of stickers. Defne loved decorating her lunch box to her heart's content.
Defne has just started the reception class. For now, we are trying out the school dinners. So far so good, but if she decides she wants to take her home-made lunch to school, then I would plan it very carefully alongside our weekly menu. I suppose these would go in her lunch box:
- Savoury muffins
- Sandwiches
- Pasta salads
- Spinach and feta filo pie (we love the recipe here)
- Pita breads filled with hummus and crudites on the side (pepper, carrot, celery, cucumber sticks)
- Wraps made with bean pastes
- Vegetarian bean burgers
- For winter, soup might be put in flasks with crutons on the side
- Yoghurt, soya pudding, oatmeal-raisin cookies, fruit bars or flapjacks for a treat
Thank you very much to Innocent for inviting us to take part in the Back to School Lunchbox Challenge! Innocent will publish a booklet containing all the tips and ideas that were shared during the Twitter parties that were held. I can't wait to see all the helpful ideas put together.
What do you prepare for your children's lunch boxes? I would love it if you share your tips in the comments section.
