When your children go back to school after the holidays it can be difficult to make sure they eat healthily. The temptations for them to eat snacks such as crisps, chocolates and fizzy drinks are all around them, but there are a few recipes you could try to give them a healthier option in their lunch box.
One thing you could try is to sneak in fruit. Its important that children eat fruit regularly, but they dont always see it that way. If you add fruit yoghurts to your childs lunchbox theyll be eating fruit without knowing it. You can also add vegetables to their sandwiches without them even realising it; for example how about finely dicing cucumber and adding it to a tuna sandwich? Theyll never know!
One of the best sandwich recipes is a way to get them to eat whole grain bread instead of white bread, but of course many children protest profusely about this. How about alternating the bread you use? You can use one slice of white bread and one slice of whole grain bread, and then cut them into squares. By turning the sandwiches over you can create a chequered pattern in their lunch, which is both amusing and healthier than 100% white bread sandwiches.
For the evening, great back to school recipes are the ones that take the least time to make such as cottage pie or a spaghetti Bolognese.
