For some of us buying a sustainable, usable lunchbox is the easy part. It’s coming up with lunchbox ideas for the week that is the tricky bit! That’s why we’re sharing 5 different lunch combinations that we know and love to help you get you through the week!
Lunch 1:
-
Sandwich: you decide what you’d like to fill it with!
-
Crackers with dip: we’re loving beetroot hummus at the moment and making our own crackers (if you have time).
-
Trail mix: this is ideal to get at your local bulk food store to store in your pantry.
-
Strawberries: adds some sweetness to your lunchbox!
Lunch 2 aka. Archie’s favourite combination!
Pesto Pasta: a crowd pleaser. This is great to make for dinner and to use the next day for lunches.
Crackers: a nice and versatile snack to have on hand for the week.
Olives: keep a jar in the fridge for snacking on.
Popcorn: this is such an easy, plastic-free snack to have on hand! Make a big batch at the start of the week so you can include in lunches or as an afternoon snack
Lunch 3:
Filo Pastry: include a variety of ingredients inside! We love a mix of vegetables.
Pretzels: these are great as they won’t go stale in a CrunchBox.
Fruit: great splash of colour and sweetness.
Tomatoes: another great addition of colour and burst of flavour.
Muffin: whether they’re sweet or savory, make a big batch on the weekend and if you don’t use then during the week freeze them for later!
Lunch 4:
Tomato pasta: you can’t really go wrong with tomato pasta! It’s full of flavour, bright and easy to make.
Brownie: this is the perfect sweet addition to a lunchbox.
Berries: we love including berries as they are easy to eat and require zero prep!
Falafel balls: make a big batch of these on the weekend and you can include them in a lunchbox as a snack or as the star of the show in a salad or wrap.
Cucumber and dip: a simple, healthy, fresh and delicious!
Lunch 5:
Sushi: this is a fun meal to make with kids and you can choose your fillings!
Coconut Yoghurt & Granola: great for a morning or afternoon snack
Sliced Apple: Make sure you squeeze some lemon over it so it doesn’t go brown
