Packed Lunches
Woolley Wood School promotes healthy lunches!!
School dinners are probably healthier than most packed lunches. If you want to make a packed lunch it should be healthy and balanced and contain:
- Starchy Foods - these are bread, rice, potatoes and pasta
- Protein Foods - including meat, fish, eggs and beans
- A Dairy Item - this could be cheese or a yoghurt
- Vegetables or Salad - plus a portion of fruit
Low-fat snacks for children:
Children often like food they can eat with their fingers, so chop up raw vegetables such as carrots or peppers and give them hummus or cottage cheese to dip them into.
Breadsticks and wholemeal crackers are also great finger foods that can be spread with low-fat soft cheese or eaten with reduced fat cheddar.
Replace chocolate bars and cakes with fresh fruit. Vary the fruit each day and get them to try new things, such as kiwi or melon
A suggested lunchbox could be:
Tuna and sweetcorn wholemeal roll
Reduced-fat cheese triangle
Satsuma
Unsweetened apple juice
