This competition is now closed
Make light work of the school-run rush with these ready prepared and portion controlled snack pots, pouches and packets for the kids lunch boxes. Many are gluten-free, diary-free, vegan or low sugar making them a convenient and healthy addition to any school lunch break.
POUCHES: Fruit purees, yogurts and even puddings are the perfect sweet treat. No mess and no spoons required as they just squeeze and eat.
SNACK BARS: The perfect alternative to a calorie-ladder or sugary biscuit bars. Filled with good stuff like oats, dried fruits and cereals. Always check – as it’s required by most nurseries and schools – that they are nut-free.
PACKETS: There is so much more choice for kids lunch boxes today than a bog standard packet of crisps. Choose from popcorn, puffed pulses, fruit crisps, mini rice cakes or breadsticks, pretzels and more. These ensure children won’t get bored from Monday to Friday.
FRUIT ROLLS: Flakes, rolls or peelers there is more than one way to ensure they get one-of-their-5-a-day – as they are made with real fruit and fruit juices. We’re not saying eating or packing a piece of fresh fruit isn’t easy but, it’s all about variety and these are fun and convenient for say, a school trips or class picnic.
