Healthy Lunchbox Week

Healthy Lunchbox Week is happening from 7 -13 February, just in time to help set you up for a year of healthy lunchboxes.

Healthy Lunchbox Week is an initiative of Nutrition Australia that aims to inspire Australian families to create healthy and enjoyable lunchboxes.

​

Did you know children consume around 30% of their daily food intake at school? Most of this comes from the contents of their lunchbox. What children eat during their day at school plays a crucial role in their learning and development.

Healthy Lunchbox Week helps families prepare healthy lunchboxes by:

inspiring healthy lunchbox ideas and recipes 

ensuring a healthy lunchbox balance across core food groups

awareness of lunchbox food hygiene and safety

​

Nutrition Australia's Healthy Lunchbox Week website is a hub of nutritious lunchbox tips, videos and recipes free to access throughout the year.  

As presently we have a "fruit fly" ban on fruit in schools, take a look at these recipes and you can find some great recipes - muesli slices, apricots bites and choc balls that you could make together and provide a healthy snack for your children.
