17 Sweet and Easy School Lunchbox Recipes
Following on from my 10 Savoury Lunchbox Ideas, I’ve put together 17 of my kid’s favourite sweet and healthy lunchbox recipes…
Usually on the weekend, if time permits, the kids and I will get busy in the kitchen making food for the lunchbox.
I always like to pop in something fun into their lunchbox each day. We don’t ‘do’ dessert at home, so once a day at recess my kids look forward to their healthy treat.
They are almost always made from scratch ( I have a stash of our fave packaged options for those insane days), from the best ingredients I can afford, and as nutrient dense as I can make them.
For more lunchbox inspiration check out my Easy Wholefood Lunchboxes eBook filled with 40 of my children’s favourite nut-free and refined sugar free sweet and savoury recipes. All kid-tested and kid-approved!
