- Hearty salads – walnut lentil and feta salad
- Leftovers – reheated
- Soups to get some extra vegies – think creamy cauliflower, sweet potato and lentil soup
- New slaws or mason jar salads

And if the kids are transitioning back to school…
Remember the 6 key components of a great school lunch!
- Wholegrain carbohydrates for sustained energy
- Pack some protein
- Fluids – remember some water
- Fruit is great with lunch or as a quick snack
- Snacks – think crunch and sip
- Pack what your children enjoy – remember we eat with our eyes, so do our children. Pack cherry tomatoes that will not go soggy, think colour – use veggies and get the children involved in packing their lunch
