Breakfast:-

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day especially for children. Even when we are asleep our bodies continue to burn calories. And as children sleep for longer periods of time their blood sugar levels are low when they awake.
Breakfasts consisting of Wholewheat cereals, oats, fruit and wholemeal bread will ensure your child has a steady supply of energy throughout the morning.

Make sure that you have a main dish, fruit or vegetable and then something sweet.
Try to make every day different sit down and even plan a weekly lunch box menu,the kids love to see what they are having the next day and this will help with the weekly shop too.
Sandwiches can be made using lots of different types of breads, rolls, sliced white or brown, Tortilla Wraps, Pitta Breads. Filled with your favourite filling, tuna mayo, cooked meats, cheese salad any of these can be as tasty and nourishing as any cooked lunch.
I believe you can’t beat Homemade Bread, it’s not difficult to make and you can’t really go wrong, you can make it the traditional way which kids love flour everywhere and getting your hands dirty, or you can opt for a Bread Maker which is just as good and no mess..
Either way you know what you are putting into the bread and feeding your kids.
