Getting 5-a-day into one lunchbox isn’t always easy… neither is the morning chaos but here’s an example of how I do it stress free 👇
🍇 Grapes – bite-size and quick
🌴 Medjool dates – natural energy booster
🍠 Sweet potato & butternut squash brownie baked at weekend and kept in airtight container – sneaky veg win!
🍗 Chicken with peas & Lebanese rice with vermicelli in honey mustard sauce – protein + veg in one
💡 Lunchbox tips that work for us:
1️⃣ Always include something familiar (like grapes) so there’s less pressure to try the new bits.
2️⃣ “Sneak” extra fruit/veg into bakes or sauces — the kids rarely notice.
3️⃣ Mix sweet and savoury — makes the box feel like a treat.
4️⃣ Get a thermos or bento lunchbox so they have a hot meal (I save some food from dinner the night before for no stress )
Would your kids go for this combo… or just eat the brownie first 😅
