It’s often a rush in the morning, and you’re about to turn to your usual lunch box favourites that have been on repeat for the last 10 days straight.
Sound familiar? Are you looking to mix up the vegan kid lunch box routine a little? Then this handy guide of 5 Vegan Kid Lunches for School is going to assist you.
Tips for a successful vegan kids lunchbox:
Before we jump into the 5 vegan kids lunches for school ideas, as a parent you need to be prepared.
Kids get bored pretty easily, especially when it comes to eating. My first recommendation is securing yourself a bento lunchbox that has separate compartments that allows variety to be experienced at school.
In Australia, kids are only allocated roughly 10 minutes to enjoy a snack and lunch, so having items broken into different compartments in a bento box works an absolute treat.
Another tip that encourages your vegan kids lunch box to come home empty is to let your kids join in by adding in some of their favourite items - fruit, biscuits or even the occasional special treat item. Having something they have personally chosen and enjoy will help encourage them to eat the rest of the items in the vegan kids lunchbox.
As I said earlier, keeping it simple and having easy to enjoy items is going to be a sure-way to an empty vegan kids lunch box.
Try adding in convenient rice crackers from the store, as well as something to dip them in such as a flavoursome chickpea tuna.
Chickpea tuna can easily be prepared over the weekend, and will last in the fridge for up to a week.
If you’re looking for a versatile snack idea, you can go pass these vegan puff pastry pizza twists. This versatile vegan snack idea can be prepared in a variety of ways to suit your vegan kid’s preferences.
Encouraging them to assist in the preparation can be a fun activity too.
