“I have two gorgeous little girls and packing lunch boxes can be a tough task for kids these days,” says Kaitie.

“Nut free, dairy free, egg free, gluten free. The list goes on! My eldest will not eat anything GREEN except for grapes. Plus the school she goes to is NUT free, which makes it tough at times – well, it did until I got this book! 

“Now I can make one week worth of HEALTHY, homemade packed lunch boxes for under $60 with lots of options to mix and match and have loads of leftovers.”

For two little one’s lunches, this works out at $6 per lunch box for a variety of delicious treats!

What Kaitie made:

Pesto Pasta Cups

zuchinni muffins

These pasta cups combine pesto, pasta and egg. They’re easy to make and delicious to eat.

Tuna Pasta Salad

Tuna is a fabulous source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Canned tuna does contain mercury, so you don’t want to over do it, but once a week is fine.

Zucchini & Super Green Pesto Muffins

These savoury muffins are full of flavour and are packed with veggies, which is great for reluctant veg eaters.

Sweet Potato & Seed Bread

Savoury loaves are nutritious and wholesome energy food for little ones, filling them up and keeping them strong until dinner.

Oat Biscuits

Oat biscuits make a great snack for the kids especially as you know exactly what is going in them and you can reduce the sugar, fats and preservatives.

Popcorn Slice

Packed with wholefood ingredients and nothing artificial, this high-fibre delight has great health benefits, but is tasty enough that the kids will never know!

Pikelets with delicious homemade toppings

Raspberry Swirl Muffins

Corn Wheels

Corn is such an easy addition to a lunch box. It can be served cold with an array of dips. Steam the corn the night before and refridgerate, ready to be popped into a lunch box the next morning.

Greek Yoghurt with Raspberry Swirl Sauce
