How to create a healthy packed lunch
For a healthy, balanced lunchbox include something from each of these groups every day:
STARCHY FOOD
For example, a wholegrain roll, tortilla wrap, chapatti, pitta pocket, bagel, breadsticks, pasta, cous cous or rice.
PROTEIN
Include a portion of lean meat, fish or an alternative, such as, chicken, ham, turkey, tuna, egg, beans or hummus.
FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
Aim for at least three portions of fruit, vegetables and salad during the school day. This can include an apple, satsuma, a handful of cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks, a small tub of fruit salad, or a small box of raisins.
Raisins are very high in sugar and are therefore better eaten with a meal rather than as a stand-alone snack.
DAIRY PRODUCTS
Provide a portion of semi-skimmed milk or other dairy item. Cheese, yoghurt and fromage frais are popular choices.
HEALTHIER DRINKS
Unsweetened fruit juice, semi-skimmed milk, yoghurt drinks and water are healthy options. Please do not send drinks that are high in sugar or fizzy pop into school.
NUTS
We are a nut free school so please DO Not send nuts or any foods containing nut products into school, as we have a number of children with severe nut allergies that are life threatening.
REMEMBER
A healthy lunch can include an occasional treat from time to time, for variety and appeal.
