What is in a balanced lunchbox? Pack the core 4 + 1 for active kids Main Lunch Core Snack Piece of fruit (seasonal) Water +1 Extra snack for active kids Add extra core snacks or one small ‘extra’ pre-packaged snack once a week. Keep “occasional” foods such snack food bars, sweet biscuits, flavoured or coated popcorn and savoury biscuits and chips out of the lunch box. Although they can offer a practical convenient solution for lunchboxes, they should not replace the core snack and should be kept for special occasions. Avoid including the ones with added confectionery and opt for wholegrain varieties packed full of whole foods you can see with your eyes.
