Many schools inspect students’ lunchboxes to make sure parents are packing healthy lunch options. Here are some satisfying regional snacks you can pack for even the most fussy eaters.
Zaatar wraps
A zaatar wrap is a great option for lunch on the go. The herb is also said to boot the immune system.
Falafel
Falafel are packed with protein and fiber, but make sure to bake — not fry — them to ensure your child has a healthier option in their lunchbox.
Halloumi
Make fun shapes with halloumi cheese to keep your children excited for lunch time. Simply use widely available cookie cutters for this fun snack.
Turkey and cheese wrap
A turkey and cheese manakish will give your child a meal rich in protein and calcium. Wraps are easy to eat and cause far less mess than typical sandwiches — perfect for lunchtimes at school.
Carrots sticks and tahini
To make carrot sticks more appealing, add a little pot of tahini sauce in your child’s lunchbox for a fun and filling snack.
Date cookies
Date cookies are the perfect dessert for your child because they are naturally sweetened. You can even involve your little ones in the baking process.
