A Wholefood Lunchbox: First Day Back to School

This post first appeared on Wholefood Mum. Our lunches have changed a little since I wrote these post and I will try and share what they mostly look like now soon. We have also changed to Yumbox lunchboxes. 



It's back to school for us finally. So 5 days a fortnight I have 2 lunches to make per day and the other 5 days I have 3 lunches to prepare.

I want to try and steer clear of the usual sandwiches and try a few different things this year.

We've never been one to include anything packaged or store bought so steering away from the sandwiches shouldn't be too hard.

Here is what was packed in our first lunch box of 2014:

popcorn with goji berries, coconut flakes, 

sesame seeds and sunflower seeds;

carrot sticks, cucumber sticks, kabana, cheese and homemade dip; 

a chicken drumstick

banana 

I'm not sure that I like that the kabana is in this lunch box as it is a processed sausage, so I will most likely swap that out in the future with chunks of leg ham or the like.

Fingers crossed it all gets eaten! My kids are always saying that the never have enough time to eat all their lunch, I don't know what to say about that, because it is so important that they do have a good lunch!

Oh and these lunch boxes are Goodbyn boxes and are available from Biome in Australia or if you are outside of Australia you can check out the Goodbyn website.

What have you been packing in lunches for school?
