Lunchtime Favourites by Michelle

Thanks for these great ideas Michelle. There is nothing like “tricking” the kids into eating healthy food. It just goes to show that a little imagination goes a long way. Cheers,

1. Traffic Light Sandwiches

Ingredients:

800g white fish fillets (boneless)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated cheese (cheddar or parmesan)

Method:

Butter bread if desired, place lettuce, tomato and carrot onto bread in thirds.
Cut 9 small holes into one slice of bread, I found a mini m+m tube worked well.
Place top slice on and cut into thirds, you should now have three sandwiches that look like traffic lights. They will be a big hit and they are healthy too.

2. Fruit Kebabs

Ingredients and method:

Just get two icy pole sticks and layer your child’s favourite fruits on them.
I use rock melon, water melon and kiwi fruit as the colours look great.
You can drizzle with chocolate or yoghurt if desired.

My son thinks it is great eating off a stick.

3. Snake Sandwiches

Ingredients and method:

1 or 2 pieces of bread (crust removed) and rolled out really thin with a rolling pin.
Nutella, cheese spread, jam or your child’s favourite spread.
Butter bread and put spread on it, then roll up really tight to make a snake.
Brings new life to sandwiches.
