I can't recommend Cushla highly enough!
Cushla came to speak recently. The mums not only LOVE her clear and helpful content but they also appreciate her down to earth and practical approach that just puts you at ease.
Lunchbox. Sorted. Online Workshop | The Iron-Aware Lunchbox
Online Event
Description
A 2025 paper in the Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health called iron deficiency in young Australian children "a hidden health crisis." 15 percent of one-year-olds. Nearly 30 percent of 4 to 6 year olds.
Meanwhile every lunchbox account on Instagram is telling you to add more protein.
I want to change that.
In 45 minutes I'll teach you a simple 5-box formula you can use Monday morning. We'll talk about iron, the one nutrient I want every Mum thinking about. We'll cover the Crunch and Sip upgrade most parents don't know about. The supermarket picks worth your money. The morning shortcuts that genuinely help. And the reframe that helps when half the lunchbox comes home untouched.
No Instagram lunchboxes. No stars made from cucumber. No guilt if the same ham and cheese sanwhich has gone in three days in a row.
Just a calm, practical approach you can use from Monday.
I'm Cushla, qualified nutritionist and mum of three (7 months, 2, 5). I'll run the session live on Zoom with time for your questions at the end.
You'll walk away with:
The Nu Bubba 5-Box Formula (Hero, Iron, Colour, Crunch, Fun) to build balanced lunchboxes in under 10 minutes
Why iron matters more than protein for kids this age, and the easy ways to add it daily
How to upgrade your Crunch and Sip container so it does more than just fruit
Sandwich fillings that work harder, plus non-sandwich heroes for kids who are over bread
How to handle a fussy eater without battles
Specific product recommendations and supermarket swaps worth your money
Morning shortcuts and freezer strategies that actually save time
A reframe for when the lunchbox comes home uneaten, grounded in what's really happening at school
$39 per household

This workshop is for you if:
Your child is in kindy, prep or early primary
Packing lunches is becoming repetitive and frustrating
You want a simple system that works in real life, not on Pinterest
You want to know what an iron-aware lunchbox actually looks like
Can't make it live? You'll still receive replay access for 7 days. Join live if you can, because you'll get to ask questions about your specific child, your lunchbox struggles, and the foods you're already packing.
Run live on Zoom. Replay available for 7 days after the event.
FAQs
- My child is a really fussy eater. Is this workshop still for me?
Definitely. There's a dedicated section on fussy eaters with five principles that work in real life, including how to keep offering food without making it a battle. I'm also a Mum of three kids with very different eating habits, so the advice comes from the trenches, not a textbook.
- Will this be relevant if my child is in kindy, not school yet?
Yes. The 5-box formula works for any lunchbox, and we cover the differences between kindy (which usually has a fridge) and prep (which doesn't). The Crunch and Sip section is relevant for both. If your kid is starting prep next year, this workshop is a great way to get ahead.
- Can I join from anywhere?
Absolutely. This workshop runs live on Zoom, so you can join from anywhere in Australia. The supermarket picks are all national brands available at Coles, Woolworths and IGA.
- What if I can't make the live session?
You'll receive replay access for 7 days after the workshop. The replay is the full session including the live Q&A. If you can attend live, you'll get the chance to ask questions about your specific child, which is the best part of the workshop.
- I've already done other lunchbox workshops or read the books. What's different about this one?
Most lunchbox resources focus on protein. This workshop is built around iron, which is the nutrient Australian kids are actually deficient in. You'll learn a 5-box formula that puts iron at the centre, plus the boosting tricks most parents don't know.
- Is this going to make me feel guilty about what I'm currently packing?
No. This is the opposite of a guilt-trip workshop. My approach is about what you can add in, boost, or pair with, not what you should cut out. The workshop ends with a reframe that takes the pressure off when the lunchbox comes home uneaten.
- What do I need to have ready for the workshop?
A laptop, tablet or phone with Zoom installed. A notebook if you want to take notes (but the toolkit will be emailed afterwards so you don't have to). A cuppa.
- Can I bring my partner or another family member?
Yes. $39 per household, so partners, grandparents, nannies or anyone else involved in packing the lunchbox can attend on the same screen.
