Kids and lunchboxes.

Here we go again for another year!

My kids start off the school year quite enthused about lunches but, as each term draws to a close, we find more and more food coming home uneaten.  Which makes me cringe for two reasons;

1. Both of the boys are huge, hungry eaters.  If they’re leaving food in the lunchboxes they will be hungry.  Not an ideal situation when they need fuel to stay focused at school and kindy.
2. The wasted food!!!! Throwing lunchbox rejects away just hurts, plain and simple.

After 12 years of making lunch for Ethan, I’m fairly sure that the secret to an empty lunchbox is variety.  Peanut butter sandwiches day after day doesn’t cut it and ‘lunchbox fatigue’ quickly sets in.

Farrah’s Snack Wraps are a delicious school lunch solution.  I’ve partnered with them to show you how we use their range to give the boys some yummy lunchbox variations that are super easy to make.  Available in White (totally dairy free!) and the new Cheesy variety (made from REAL cheese!), the size is perfect for little hands and as you’ll see in my video, they never crack or split when you roll them!

Look out for Farrah’s wraps and little monsters in a supermarket near you, RRP $5.50.

 Lunchbox Ideas: 4 Ways with Farrah’s Snack Wraps

Pizza Quesadillas

• Spread open wrap with tomato sauce and mayonnaise.
• Add yummy pizza fillings; we used salami and cheese.
• Fold in half and heat in a pan until cheese is melted and both sides are golden brown.

Peanut Butter Banana Roll-Ups

• Spread open wrap with peanut butter.
• Peel a banana and lay it down on one side of the wrap.
• Add raisins or a little honey, then roll everything up.
• Cut into rounds for little hands or leave as is.

Hot Dog Roll-Ups

• Pre-cook hot-dogs, sausages or cheerios.
• Cut straight edges on 2 sides of the wrap.
• Spread open wrap with tomato sauce and mustard.
• Place hot-dog along one of the straight edges.
• Add cheese and any other toppings.
• Roll up.
• Spray some oil in a pan
• Carefully place hot-dog in pan, turning so it’s golden brown all over.
• Remove from pan and cut into rounds for little hands or leave whole.

Classic Filled Wraps

• Spread open wrap with hummus
• Add fillings of choice to one side of wrap.  We used chicken, carrots, lettuce, capsicum and cheese
• Fold the bottom of wrap up towards the middle.
