Lunchbox Hints and Tips
Super Sandwiches
Sandwiches can soon become boring. Try these ideas to keep things fresh, as well as squeezing in healthy ingredients as part of your child's recommended '5-a-day' portions of fruit and vegetables.
- Keep a selection of breads in the freezer, like pitta, wholegrain rolls, baguettes and bagels.
- Always try to add a little salad (remembering to dry it with kitchen paper first to stop the sandwich going soggy).
- Use less butter or margarine and avoid mayonnaise - or use a low fat version.
- Pick low fat sandwich fillings like lean meat, tuna, salmon, cottage cheese, Edam, Mozzarella or sliced banana.
