For many parents, packing a school lunch can be a tedious task. Knowing what to include in a lunch box that is both delicious and nutritious is difficult – but it doesn’t have to be.

Sunny Queen Farms’ Chef, Katrina Neill is helping parents with this challenge by incorporating Sunny Queen’s new Free Range Peeled Hard Boiled Eggs and a range of expert tips, tricks and recipes to make all lunches easy to whip up.

With Aussie kids learning for six hours a day, it’s important that lunches are nutrient-rich and packed with enough goodies that will ensure they have the energy and motivation they need to concentrate and power through their schoolwork.

With each Peeled Hard-Boiled egg packed with protein and containing more than 10% of the recommended dietary intake for over 11 essential vitamins and minerals, they are a sure-fire way to create a cracking lunch jam-packed with nutritional goodness, in moments.

So, here’s six easy and delicious top school lunch tips to help you with the morning school rush:

  • The rainbow approach – foods of all colours – ensures kids get fun and colourful foods, with a variety of flavours and nutrients
  • Include a nice mixture of fruits, vegetables, eggs, and nuts
  • Think: the more fun lunches are to look at, the more likely your kids will be happy to bite down on your creation – you can create interesting shapes out of your foods or even use funky containers
  • Get the kids to help out in the kitchen and make it with you. Getting them involved will help make sure they’re excited for their lunch
  • Pre-make grab ‘n’ go sides like vegetable muffins or carrot and cucumber sticks with hummus and other bite-size snacks on a Sunday; that way you can just pop it in the lunchbox each morning
  • Make faces out of your food or draw smiley faces on them (just like Sunny The Egg) and it’ll be sure to put a smile on their face as well

With its simple, yet delicious recipes to make every lunchbox a cracker, Sunny Queen Farms is set to put a smile on the face of Aussie kids – and their parents – for school in 2021!
