School lunch ideas (bugs optional)

​School is back next week and we thought we'd help make it a little easier with some lunchbox ideas, that aren't sandwiches! We've kept the bugs out, but that's entirely up to you in reality. 
  1. Food on Sticks
Think chicken satays, beef skewers, or sausage kebabs, packed on lunchbox-sized sticks for kids. Because everything is more fun on a stick. (For young kids, use flat, blunt-edged bamboo sticks, not the stabby toothpick-like kind.)
·        Pack with: Rice, sliced cucumbers, mushrooms, sultanas.
2. Nachos
They’re kid favorites for a reason — and contrary to our adult biases, they don’t need to be piping hot to be delicious.
·        Pack with: Avocado slices or guacamole, capsicum, carrot sticks, cut grapes.
3. Cold Rolls
Rice paper wrappers or large lettuce leaves make great rolled-up meals that are fun to eat. Fill them with various cold meats and vegetables – don’t forget the rice noodles!
·        Pack with: Cubed meat or cheese, sliced capsicum, blueberries.

4. Cold Meat Roll-Ups
Think outside the bun! Rolling sliced turkey, ham, or roast beef around cheese sticks, cream cheese, and even greens can change the way your kiddos think about lunch meat.
·        Pack with: crackers, celery, cinnamon-sprinkled apple slices.
5. Vegetable Sushi or Onigiri
Using leftover rice and cooked fish from a previous meal, packing sushi for the family can be as easy as making sandwiches — especially if the kids feel like helping.
·        Pack with: Sushi condiments, edamame, raspberries/strawberries.
6. Cold Noodle Salads
Try soba with black sesame seeds, or plain udon.
·        Pack with: Cubed chicken or tinned fish, snap/snow peas, mandarins.
7. Hummus and Pita Plate
Nine out of 10 kids love a good smear of hummus. Why not make it the star of the show?
·        Pack with: Salami, olives, carrots, baby tomatoes, and grapes. (Note that dipping is easier and less messy if you pack the hummus in a separate container.)

8. Buddha Bowls
Mix the meats, cheeses, and veggies your kids like into plain quinoa or rice and dress lightly.
·        Pack with: Popcorn, mixed berries.
9. Breakfast for Lunch
We all secretly love breakfast for dinner, so why not breakfast for lunch? Make extra food when you have time for a nice breakfast on the weekend, and save the leftovers for lunches —think hard-boiled eggs, leftover pancakes...
·        Pack with: Sliced strawberries, squeezable yogurt. (Frozen yogurt tubes also make great small ice packs, and typically thaw by lunch.)
10. Leftover Picnic Lunch
If you’d eat it for lunch on the weekend, why not pack it in a lunch box? Because nothing beats a cold chicken leg on a Monday.
·        Pack with: Potato salad or coleslaw, watermelon, and a chewy biscuit.
       
Now while we’re talking picnic lunches, there’s always ants! Did you know that our external pest control treatment will block ants from entering your home? That means no more ants marching across the floor AND the kitchen benches! Read more about that here!
