Simple Solutions to Beat Picky Eating - Healthy Snacks NZ — Lunchbox RSS

Back to school is almost here and we couldn't be more excited! The Daily Menu helped us to put together a week of healthy, kid-approved lunchbox ideas that won't break the bank for you to try out. 

Zucchini provides a decent amount of fibre, and excellent levels of vitamin C, potassium and manganese. It also adds incredible moisture to the muffins and camouflages very well, when finely grated, so your little one won't even notice it. A great way to pack extra veggies into any diet and to add a variety to your kids' lunch box. No added sugar, delicious snack or lunch that everyone will love!

I discovered Kiwigarden’s freeze-dried apple slices when my first son was around 10 months old and I was on a hunt for healthier snack options for him. It was love from the first bite! If you never heard of freeze-dried products you will be thrilled to know that there are no nutrients lost during this modern manufacturing process that involves removing all the water content in the frozen state of the product. 

With this post, we are opening a series of reviews of the products that we are stocking here at Healthy Snacks NZ by explaining why we believe they are a healthier choice for the kids.

These cheesy puffs are super easy to make! You only need four ingredients and some basic tools to make these bad boys but I guarantee you and your wee one(s) will have lots of fun mixing, kneading and cutting different shapes out of the dough.

These power muffins are made with freeze-dried peas and corn and sweetened with tomato sauce. A delicious breakfast, lunch or snack on-the-go, these muffins can be frozen for even busier days.

These are definitely not your ordinary pikelets! Truth be told, I loaded these little beauties with all the good stuff while balancing sugar just right to keep the taste pretty neutral so it can be either sweet or savoury. 

These gluten-free quinoa cups are a very nutritious, delicious, light snack, breakfast or lunchbox item for the whole family. Packed full of protein and fiber for the wholesome meal.
