How to add more fruit and veggies to a lunch box:
- Use fruit and vegetables from all colours of the rainbow, as they offer a wide range of vitamins and minerals.
- Seasonal varieties that are easy to peel and eat are good choices.
- Peeling and chopping fruit and vegetables into ready-to-eat bite-sized pieces makes them more appealing.

Lunch box sandwich inspiration:
Healthy sandwich ideas the kids won't turn their nose up at:
- Try using a variety of breads to keep things interesting. Bread rolls, baguettes, bagels, mountain bread and crisp bread crackers can break up the monotony of a Vegemite sandwich on sliced white.
- Try making sandwiches with one slice white and one of wholemeal, or use white bread with added fibre.
- Use spreads like butter or margarine sparingly and try using sticky fillings that pack in some nutrients. A smear of avocado or hummus might do the trick.
