When planning your kids lunchbox.

Tweet

Many of us here on mylot are parents and some others are parents to be, so I feel that these hints will be useful for us when packing lunchboxes for our kids. 1. Breads and cereals. This group provides glucose for energy and is generally a good source of B vitamins. Carbohydrate rich foods, like sandwiches, rolls, muffins, crackers and cereal bars, should form the bulk of a child’s diet. 2. Fruit and vegetables: brightly colored fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamin A, whilst citrus fruits and green leafy vegetables contain high level of vitamin C. 3. Meat, fish, chicken, egg, nuts and dried beans: This group is an important source of protein and provides children with B vitamins and iron. 4. Calcium rich foods: Dairy products such as milk, cheese and yoghurt are high in protein vitamins, vitamin D and calcium.
