Ready to Lunch - Everything you need to know about packing lunch BEFORE your child starts school

Starting school is SUCH an exciting time, but navigating lunchboxes and the school food environment can be daunting for children, not to mention parents.

As a Clinical Nutritionist and Mum of three teenagers I've packed a lunchbox or two over the years, and I'm excited to share my experience and tips in a one hour workshop that will help make those early weeks of school successful, rather than stressful.

We'll discuss the key components of a lunchbox, managing allergies and different approaches to eating, simple systems to help minimise the time and money you spend packing lunches, lunchbox convenience foods and the things you can start doing now to set your child (and yourself!) up for success when school starts next year.

We'll also talk about the pros and cons of different types of lunchboxes, bags and drink bottles.  I'll have several on display so you can get an idea of what will suit your child and be ready for the back to school sales!

If you want to be Ready to Lunch on the first day of school in 2024, I can't wait to see you on Saturday December 2nd!
