Back to school kiddies lunch pack "healthy version"

I know most mothers would have started preparations for the new term of school for their children and wards.
There is so much emphasis on healthy and clean eating this days due to the increase in  obesity and the ailments that comes with it so this post will be on specific ways to packing an healthy meal pack.  Don't get me wrong am a baker after all so am not saying carbs are 100% bad, all am saying is try and balance their diet with more healthier options.

1. Fruits vs Snacks
Fruits like baby carrot, apples, bananas, tangerine and nuts can be packed as lunch for children. The earlier you start feeding them with fruits the better for their health.

2. Homemade fruit juice vs packed juice/soft drinks
Throw one or a combination of watermelon, bananas, apple, guava, pawpaw in a blender or food processor and blend and sieve it for a lunch drink rather than preservative ridden packed juice. Citrus fruits like oranges, tangerine, grapes etc.can be extracted for their lunch drinks.



3. Carbs+veggies vs Ordinary carbs
Noodles, macaroni, spaghetti, and white rice can be garnished with veggies. This trick works well with kids because the veggies adds colours to their meals making it more enticing for them to eat. Peas, diced carrots, sweet corn, baked beans, cabbage, cucumber and so many veggies can be added to their meals.

So try and add this fruits and veggies to your children's meal this school term and see the amazing result not only in their health but academic performance.
