Thought our delicious freezer-friendly meals were just for bubs and cubs? Think again! Le Purée bowls and finger foods are school kid saviours. You’ll find them anywhere that health conscious, busy parents and carers are found.
Picture this. The chaotic mornings of a school day. Somewhere between waking everyone up, feeding the troops and getting everyone out the door without being too late, you must make sure everyone is fed, clothed, packed, prepped and presentable.
While we can’t help you find your missing keys, or those lucky socks for soccer practice, we can help pack the lunchboxes. Enter- a freezer packed with pre-cooked, nutritious snacks. Just throw it all together in the box the night before and let it defrost gently in the fridge overnight.
A few of our favourite lunchbox combinations to make for an easy get-out-the-door-o’clock school days:
1. Spirulina pikelets and Zucchini fritters
Recess:
Start their school day off with some delicious pikelets sneakily filled with gut-loving spirulina. For kids with a sweet tooth, a little spread of raspberry jam will be welcomed. An apple or whatever fruit you have on hand is a perfect sized snack to get them through till lunch.
Lunch:
Not only do our organic zucchini fritters make for a hearty lunch, they are also delicious and bound to give lunchbox envy to all your kid’s friends. These fritters are 100% organic and packed full of veggies (carrot, potato, peas, herbs, spices, and the hero zucchini). Pack your fritters with some carrot or celery sticks and hummus on the side.
2. Blueberry Muffins and Moroccan Lamb Rolls
Recess:
Blueberry Muffins? Delicious and easy to share! Our blueberry muffins are sugar free and utterly delicious. With the sweetness and texture of blueberries, banana and oat milk making it both rich and easy on the gut. Pair that with fruit of your choice for a tasty morning tea.
Lunch:
Moroccan Lamb Rolls for lunch? Yes, please! Our NEW lamb rolls are made with a Moroccan twist, featuring apricot for a little touch of flavour and sweetness! Our little rolls are perfect for on the go, bento box lunches or to pair with veggies and make a full meal. The spelt flour pastry is *chef’s kiss*
3. Garden Quiche and Falafel Bites
Recess:
Power through till lunch with our cute, protein-packed garden quiche bites. These delicious morsels are made with organic eggs, milk, and veggies and will help satiate your child’s appetite until lunch. A side of berries makes for a gourmet mid-morning feast!
Lunch:
Our falafel bites are delicious and packed with herbs, spices, and fibre! These bites are great on their own, or you can wrap them in some pita with hummus and a pickle for an easy lunch wrap. Throw some veggie sticks on the side to fill those tummies.
