Back to school lunches!!!

Who else is a very excited mumma today???

I see so many posts in the lead up to a new school year about perfect lunch boxes and what to pack in them. Firstly there is no perfect lunch box that's going to magically make the kids eat what's in it 🤣🤣🤣

Its not a secret that kids perform better when they are fueled with the right stuff but most parents know that's not always easy - kids are stubborn and fussy and im sure we have all had lunch boxes come home full of food.

So what do they need?
In really basic terms they need a protien, some carbohydrates and a good fat.

Today my kids have - watermelon, carrot sticks, those fancy dried fruit crackers, cheese, and ham, avocado and salad cold roles. It took me 10 minutes to throw together this morning.

But you know what - at the end of the day if your child wants to take the same sandwich and the 1 piece of fruit that they will eat every single day then that's ok too because you what common sense tells us that kids perform better at school when they've had something to eat!

Well we are in lockdown in south Australia. Unless you are an essential worker we cannot leave the house except to go to the supermarket once a day (only 1 person). While I have an amazing family and support group this adds another level of difficulty as a sole parent. While i am allowed to take the kids with me.as they cannot be left at home on their own im pretty keen to do the right thing and limit their exposure (I AM NOT MISSING CHRISTMAS SOUTH AUSTRALIA!!!!). Plus who wants to take 3 kids to the supermarket that haven't seen the outside in days 🤣🤣

So this weeks instalments of Kat Ludwig Nutrition is brought to you by "how creative can mum get without having to leave the house"

Stay safe and healthy everyone # # #
