3 little lunchbox wins for the week ahead


Hello!

Spring is here, and I’m always keen for a few fresh ideas to shake up the lunchbox routine.

So here are three easy options for the week ahead - a little bit savoury, a little bit crunchy, and all nice and simple.

🥦 Broccoli Bites

A handy little savoury option for lunchboxes, snacks or those hungry-after-school moments. They’re a nice change when you feel like you’ve packed one too many sandwiches lately.

🧄 Crunchy Garlic Roasted Chickpeas

Crunchy, savoury and made with just a handful of simple ingredients. These are naturally dairy-free and gluten-free, plus they’re nut-free, making them a great little lunchbox snack for older kids.

A sweet-and-salty little snack made with sunflower seeds, honey and cinnamon. They’re naturally dairy-free and gluten-free too, and another handy nut-free option for lunchboxes.
