Since my ds and youngest of three started school a few weeks ago our tea-time meals have changed. He is hungry much earlier than before and regardless of having a snack when we get back from school by 4pm he wants to eat.
All three have school lunches and have decided that they don't want a big meal at the end of the day often asking for a sandwhich or soup. I think this is great, easier and cheaper for me, but I'm concerned that they're missing out on the veg they would have had before. I've been topping them up with fruit, but I wondered if anyone has any ideas.
Ds would happily eat a cheese sandwich every day and isn't great with veg, it's taken a good few years to get him to eat a limited range of carrots, cucumber and raw peppers (only if dipped in houmous).
The only soup I've managed to get them to eat is cream of tomato (which they love), but I don't know how healthy it is and because it comes in a tin, I suspect not.
So - really my question is, what else can I give them, that is light, but healthy in not too obvious a way or they'll reject it?
