103: Nourishing Lunches for Kids

We thought it was the perfect time to be talking about healthier lunches for your little ones, now that the first school term has started for the year, you’d be surprised at just how many questions we get asked from curious mum's, about what makes the best fillers for their kid’s lunch boxes. If you’ve got a desire to bring your kids up as healthy as possible, but not sure how to battle through fussy eaters or lack of ideas, you’ll find lots of inspiration in this episode.
We get it. It can be super hectic organising school lunches for multiple kids, packing your own lunch and that of your partners’ lunch 5 days a week. This is not something your average person would label as fun! While next week’s episode will feature tips on healthier lunches for grown-ups, we want to get to the bottom of the best lunches for school-aged kids.
The food you choose to put in your kids’ lunch boxes are so important, as this is exactly what’s fuelling their ability to focus and learn new information at school. They have to sustain enough energy for the entire day but also team sports, homework and after school activities.

Back in our days (and probably yours too) there just weren’t that many food allergies. Now, we seem to have an epidemic going on to the point where Jo received a letter from her school, saying that if her child was to bring in a boiled egg in their lunchbox, they would have to sit in isolation to eat it, then wash their hands before they returned to their friends.

This is proof that current food allergies are just getting so out of control!

Of course, we have to question why? It’s really time to look into all the chemicals in our food, and see what that’s truly doing to our health, and the health of our children.
