Parents are always concerned about their kid’s eating habits. They want their children to eat healthy all the time. Where it’s difficult to get those naughty ones eat a full healthy meal at a time especially when you are not around, it’s a sane idea to pack healthy snacks for kids to take to school.

We have tried to compile a list of lunch ideas for kids where in you can pack healthy snacks which are easy to prepare and will help you get those lunch boxes empty without hassle.

Oats Idli

Pack these delicious idlis in your kid’s lunch box. You can stuff them with some veggies (especially those which your child doesn’t like to eat otherwise) to provide them with the goodness of oats, lentils and vegetables all together.

Vegetable Toast Pizza

Try giving these and I am sure next time your child will ask for two helpings as her friends will love them too. You can experiment by hiding as many veggies as possible and kids will never realize what they are eating because of its cheesy taste. It is a perfect example of quick snacks as you can prepare the ingredients in advance and just pan fry or bake it before packing it

Poha Tikki

Poha is a very common and likeable breakfast dish in Indian households. And our kids love them too. So, this one is a creative idea to use your left over poha and turn it into delicious tikkis with the nutrition of all the veggies you have put in the poha. Grind the left over poha and mix it with boiled potatoes to prepare crispy tikkis. I am sure your kids won’t be able to resist this one.

Flavoured Yogurt with fruity twist

It’s easy to make flavoured yogurts at home by blending milk with fruits and setting it into curd. This is the easiest snack to pack in your kid’s lunch box as you can prepare the yogurt in advance and while packing just mix it with some chopped seasonal fruits. It’s a good option for enthralling those sweet cravings of your child.

Semolina Uttapam

This one is a healthy and an easy version of traditional south Indian uttapam. Prepare the batter with soaking semolina in curd and sneaking in all the veggies your child is queasy about. Prepare the uttapam (pancake) on a greasy non-stick pan. While packing you can garnish it with

Healthy Mushroom Burgers

Burgers have always been a fun snack for kids and we can turn them into a healthy option too. Make lentils and mushroom patties instead of usual potato ones. Put it between whole wheat buns (you can bake at home also if you plan well in advance) with lots of green salad. You can displace mayonnaise with hung curd to make it furthermore nutritious.

You can also just slip in a FRU2go pack in your little one’s bag to counter hungers pang in the most health way possible.

These are some options which are quick to make and taste great. These will bring variety to your kid’s lunch box without compromising nutritional value.
