What's for Lunch?
We know mums and dads! We know! Yes, we
know what you're thinking!
Back to School has gotten all of our
mums and dads thinking...What about?
What's for Lunch?
That's the big question. And we have
the answer!
With the kids heading back to school
and with the busy lifestyles of parents, packing your kids a healthy
lunch sounds way more challenging than handing them a R20-00 note to
grab themselves a pie. Sounds easy, yes, but it gets hard when you
have to deal with dragging a lazy and unhealthy child regularly to
the gym and to the doctor.
But you can avoid this. And we've
decided to help you with our easy and fun five-day school lunch plan
for healthy, happy, growing kids!
