Kids were back to school this week and Good Living had some lunchbox ideas from Bill Granger – mountain bread wraps with hummous, a Greek-style pasta salad, along with a simple Chinese rice salad. All the recipes are easy to make and have a nice balance of protein, low GI carbohydrates and vegetables. Simply add some fruit , a yoghurt and a bottle of water and you’ve got a healthy lunchbox.

There are also some cute ideas for sparking up kids’ lunches from Connie Evers at Nutrition For Kids – 13 ways to turn hum-drum into yum .

There are more lunchbox suggestions here , including a range of sandwich fillings, snack suggestions, as well as tips on putting it all together and how to keep everything fresh (including preventing soggy sandwiches).
