Parents tell us it is hard to keep the ham, muesli bars and treats (such as lollies and chocolate) out of the lunchbox. To help we have put together some suggested substitutes you can pack in the lunchbox instead. Anne shares her advice on all things lunchboxes. Whilst crunchy and juicy veg is often a favourite for Crunch&Sip®, it doesn’t mean it has to be crunchy to qualify. Crunch&Sip® can be packed in a range of ways to cater for children who have a sensitivity or dislike certain textures, or children who have difficulties chewing or swallowing. The Crunch&Sip® program aims to help children find more opportunities to snack on vegies and sip on water across the day. Whilst this is our main aim, we also want to encourage families to pack with sustainability in mind. Whilst Western Australia’s vastness and space offer many beautiful places to call home, the geographical spread paired with unforeseen weather circumstances can add a degree of uncertainty to the supply and quality of fresh produce to regional towns across the state.This potential for limited supply and poor quality of fresh produce can be a barrier to students in regional WA participating in Crunch&Sip®.
Maintaining those healthy swaps.
