As parents, we all know how hard it is to ensure our children’s growing bodies are not continually crying out “I’M HUNGRY”.

With schools across the country back in full swing this week, we thought it would be good to revisit some top snack ideas that Lisa Peterson from Tree of Life Nutrition discussed with us last year – perfect for every lunchbox.

Balancing your child’s snacks is key to a nutritious meal. A fat (dairy), a carbohydrate (crackers, bread etc), a protein (meat, tuna etc) and a piece of fruit or vegetable will ensure every snack remains healthy, filling and appealing to eat.

A well rounded and balanced meal will go a long way to satisfying continually grumbling tummies.
