08 Sep Lunchbox Approved!
Product of the Year delves into classroom-suitable snacks as children across the UK pack their satchels and head back to school…
It’s back to school for many across the country. So, as kids rush back into playgrounds and classrooms, we’re taking a look at the snacks that will bring a smile to even the most disgruntled school-returner’s face!
Hungry minds need feeding, but first things first, breakfast. Shreddies the Honey One came out top of the cereals at Product of the Year last year and it’s a great way to start the day with a splash of Yeo Valley Organic Milk from our award-winning 1L cartons. Harking back to products past, Quaker Oat So Simple (a past winner) is an ideal morning meal. Oats are a great source of slow-release energy that’ll keep kids going all day long. Bear Alphabites Multigrain Cereal is another healthy breakfast option with important nutrients for a head start to the day.
We all know parents have enough to think about with school uniforms to buy, sorting out childcare and returning to work after holidays, without having to think too hard about nutrition. Fear not as health is at the heart of snack brand graze’s Product of the Year 2023 winning with Chocolate Peanut Crunch Creations. The good news is they could also pass as a sweet treat to satisfy a sweet tooth. Whitworths Fruit Fusions are a fruity alternative and they’re even more lunchbox friendly, packaged in a small and resealable bag.
Lurpak Butterbox and Cathedral City Sandwich Slices make great sandwich fillers and happen to be Product of the Year alumni. We also couldn’t forget Robinson’s Fruit Creations – a childhood classic brand. Snacks make the day go quicker. Frubes (yogurt tubes) and Kiddylicious Veggie Straws are two top suggestions for break-time snacks and have had our seal of approval. Grubby hands are no issue when you have Cheeky Panda or Pampers Coconut Pure wipes packed in your knapsack.
Heading back to school might not be so bad after all!
