LUNCHBOX TIPS & TRICKS

• Freeze a carton of juice or a smoothie to keep the rest of the lunchbox cool - it should defrost by lunchtime, ready for drinking.• A mini Thermos is a great way to keep food warm, and lets you send your child to school with all kinds of soups and stews during the colder months.• Adapt recipes to suit individual tastes, making sure to include a range of protein, complex carbohydrates (such as wholegrains and pasta), calcium and enough fruit and veg to help them reach their five-a-day.
