Back to School Lunch Inspiration: Fresh Ideas to Keep Things Exciting!

If you’re like us, you start the school year full of excitement about packing lunch boxes, eager to try new flavours and combinations. But before long, the daily grind can make it feel like a bit of a chore! To keep things fresh and exciting, we’re sharing some easy and delicious lunchbox ideas for your little loves.

Bento Boxes

These make for an exciting and easy meal for both kids and adults, offering a balanced mix of protein, dairy, and fresh produce. Pack cubes of firm cheese, slices of protein, and fruit. Add a yogurt-based dip like tzatziki and some crunchy veggie sticks for a nutritious, snackable feast.

Quiche

Quiches are an underrated gem when it comes to lunchbox meals! They’re a lunchtime lifesaver — versatile, tasty, and so easy to prep ahead of time. Use whatever veggies you have in the fridge, like spinach, capsicum, or zucchini, and pair them with cheddar, feta, or ricotta for an easy and nutritious lunch box addition. 

Wrap It Up

When sandwiches start feeling a little boring, mini wraps can be a game-changer. Some of our favourites include chicken and veggie, ham and cheese, or smashed boiled eggs with mayo!

Baked Goods 

Get your little ones involved with a healthy baking session on the weekend! Muffins double as a fun activity for the kids and an easy lunchbox addition for the rest of the week. Healthy muffin flavours like blueberry or apple and cinnamon are some household favourites of ours. 

With these creative ideas, lunchtime will always feel fresh and exciting! Try out these tasty ideas and keep things fresh all year round.
