TOP TIPS TO BUILDING A BALANCED LUNCHBOX

HEALTHY BALANCE
When packing school lunches use the pictorial guide below to help ensure your child is getting the right balance by including foods from each of the five food groups.

REACH FOR THE STARS!
Choose snacks with 3.5 or more health stars. Health Star Ratings are designed to help you compare foods so that you can make healthier choices.

GO FOR WATER
We all need around 8 glasses of fluid each day and water is the best choice. Packing a water bottle with their lunch is a great way to help remind them to drink.

KEEP IT COOL
Food spoilage is an important issue for school lunchboxes as it can result in illness. Choosing an insulated lunchbox or including a frozen MILO®, water, milk or yoghurt are ways to keep lunches cool.
