Back-to-school season is upon us once again, which means that it’s time to start the daily slog of sorting out your child’s lunchbox every day.
The beginning of term always starts off on a high, but we all eventually reach a point where our kids exclaim that they’re bored of eating the same things every day - and let’s face it, we get bored of making the same recipes, too.
So, as the new school year begins, why not start things off on a fresh start? We have curated a list of 10 simple and unique recipes that your child will love - and, more importantly, that they might not have ever had before.
From bars and muffins to simple savoury snacks, all of these recipes are also incredibly quick and easy to make, meaning that you won’t be slaving away in the kitchen for hours.
So, what are you waiting for? Have a scroll down below, and see if any of these will tickle your child’s taste buds:
Citrus muffins
A bit of citrus always helps us to feel a bit more awake during the early school mornings! These muffins are delicious and easy to squeeze into your child’s lunchbox.
Cinnamon berry granola bars
If your kid has a habit of running out the door without grabbing a decent breakfast first, then they will love these granola bars! Packed with fruit and fibre, you can’t go wrong with these.
Frozen banana bites
These couldn’t be more simple to make! Plus, who doesn’t love fruit dipped in chocolate?
Cornflake and coconut cookies
Some might say that cornflakes and coconut are an unusual pairing, but we think these cookies are absolutely delicious - and surprisingly healthy, too!
Peanut butter puffed rice bars
Peanut butter can be used in a variety of ways for some tasty lunchtime snacks, and this is one of our favourites. These handy little bars take no time at all to make, and they are also suitable for any little ones who are gluten free!
No-bake child-friendly energy balls
Energy balls have become extremely popular with adults in recent years, and now it’s time for your kids to test them out! With no baking required, you’ll have these delicious (and healthy) treats ready in a flash.
Chickpea veggie rolls
If you’re after something a bit more savoury for your kid’s lunchbox, then how about these veggie rolls? You’ll be surprised at how easy these are to make!
Kale crisps
Yes, not every child loves kale, but these scrumptious crisps are a brilliant way to give them one of their five-a-day. Plus, they are undoubtedly healthier than an ordinary bag of potato crisps!
Pretzel dippers
Pretzels are one of our favourite snacks for on-the-go, and we have no doubt that your little one will be delighted to find these in their lunchbox!
Chocolate banana bread
Last but not least, why not spoil your child with the occasional sweet treat? This banana bread is wonderfully scrumptious, and the addition of chocolate chips just makes it taste even better.
