Since DS1 started secondary school his lunch box has deteriorated markedly. I used to be so proud of his snap full of home cooked goodies and fresh fruit and veg.
He loves his food and will eat most things but the issue we have is that lunch has to be eaten outside and at this time of year that usually means standing up. So, it needs to be something easy to eat with one hand. I have resorted to sandwiches, penguin type biscuits and crisps. Even homemade cake often comes home uneaten because it's too messy or crumbly.
Anyway, I am on a mission to reduce the sugar and processed food in our diets, Does anyone have some ideas to replace the "extras" without them being sugar laden/processed. ATM I only have cheese scones, which he loves....Not worried about being low in fat - if anything he could do with fattening up!
