Pick of the Crop
Here are some tips and tricks to keep lunchboxes fresh, cheap and easy!
Keep it simple: Shop by what’s in season and on special to find vegetables, fruit and all the other goodies that are within your budget. You’ll generally be able to identify what fruit/veg is in season usually by when its cheap/on special.
Fresh is best: When cutting up fruit such as apples, pears, peaches and bananas squeeze a little bit of lemon juice to stop it from going brown. A few curious BSS students learnt all about this during science week too!
The freezer is your friend: Think bulk and batch. Where possible, freeze foods so you can whip them out during the school week. Savoury muffins, quiches, zucchini slice, falafel balls or yoghurt pouches and home-made muesli bars are some great options that freeze well!
