Lots of conversations and discussions about lunchboxes etc, comments about UPF, too much sugar, too many carbs etc.

If you packed a "perfect" lunchbox for a 4 year old - what would you pack? (cold/ambient food)

DD4.5 lunchbox today was:

  • Wholemeal roll - unsalted butter, leftover roast chicken, 2-3 spinach leaves
  • 1 x slice of mature cheddar cheese - probably about 20g
  • 1 x satsuma
  • 1" cucumber
  • 4 halved cherry plum tomatoes
  • 4 sugar snap peas
  • Bottle of water

I think that's a good balanced box?

What would you pack?

What's balanced about it?

It's a very healthy lunch! That's very true. And nothing wrong at all with it and nobody has to have something sugary

But I don't know why you've described it as balanced and not really healthy?
