Healthy Lunch Box Snacks

I’ve got a secret love of packing lunch boxes (although I can totally understand why a lot of people get sick of it) and I enjoy making my own ‘healthier’ alternatives to store bought snacks to fill them with, as not only does it save me SO MUCH money (I cringe at some of the prices in the supermarket), it’s nice (and important to me) to know exactly what is in the food we are eating – especially my kids.

Although we certainly enjoy the occasional treat (hello Chocolate Cake!) and one of my boys favourite past times is licking the mixing bowl,  I also make a big effort to ensure that the kids (and my husband and I) eat a balanced diet with as little processed food as possible. I’m quite conscious that everyone out there has a different version of what ‘healthy’ means, however this yummy collection of healthy lunch box snacks includes recipes that are simple to make at home yourself, are packed with flavour and goodness that most importantly, are enjoyed by my entire family – and I hope you enjoy them too xx

Try using wholemeal instead of plain flour when making these Wholemeal Apple and Cinnamon Pikelets, they make a great morning tea or easy healthy snack for lunch boxes.
