Back to School: Our Top Picks for a Nutritious Lunchbox they’ll actually eat

School is going back and that means one thing: the dreaded lunchbox packing is back. Is there anything more frustrating than spending your precious time painfully preparing healthy and satisfying packed lunches, just for it to come back at the end of the day untouched and somehow squashed into crevices of the schoolbag you didn’t even know existed?

Luckily, we’re taking the stress out of lunchboxes with our delicious range of lunchbox-friendly meals. Not only will it save you time and stress, but you can be confident that you’re providing them with a lunch that is not only nutritious, but that they’ll actually eat.

Here are our top lunchbox picks for every type of kid:

1. The picky eater

Got a fussy eater on your hands? We hear you. Our extensive range of Grab & Go products means there’s something for everyone. Try our Classic Ham and Cheese Sandwich or our Sourdough Range for options that are fresh yet simple.

2. The snacker

For the kids that bring the lunchbox home with a single bite taken out of everything, our range of smaller snacks offer a perfect variety of tastes. Our yoghurt range is perfect for every sweet-tooth, and our fruit salad provides the ideal fruit break for the kids who get bored with a single option. For savoury snacking delights, try our Dip ‘n’ delight boxes, perfect for little snack monsters.

3. The big appetite

Running around all day certainly works up an appetite. Not to mention the hunger that can arise from those growth spurts. Our baguette range is ideal for fueling kids with a hearty lunch that will see them through big sports games and keep them full for hours.

4. The won’t-sit-down

For the kids that can’t wait to race to the playground as soon as the bell rings, on-the-go options are best. We recommend our wraps for the ideal one-handed eating experience that doesn’t put a stop to play.

5. The microwave-privileged

Some teenagers are lucky enough to have access to a microwave at school, which is where our delicious pasta range comes in. Boring lunches be gone when you can heat up an authentic ready-made meal in just three minutes. From simple Gnocchi Napoli or Spaghetti Bolognese for the fussy eaters, to Penne Amatriciana or Eggplant Parmigiana for the more adventurous, we’ve got a hot lunch sorted for every kid.

From on-the-go wraps to carefully crafted salads, we have ready to eat meals that take some of the hassle out of the school-week. We know that the school term can be chaotic to say the least, which is why our ready-made meals home delivered is perfect for busy parents. With our gluten free ready-made meals and vegetarian meal delivery, we cater for every diet. We’re happy to take one thing off your plate: with Aston Lucas Gourmet, lunchboxes are sorted.
