Lunch on a stick

You can make up kebabs using skewers or straws with many different foods. They are quick to put together and easy to pack in your kid's lunchbox. Here are some examples, but feel free to make up your own combinations choosing healthy foods that your child enjoys.

Ingredients
Slices of ham or turkey rolled up and interspersed with cubes of cheese and wedges of pineapple
Cherry tomatoes and mozzarella
Chicken Tikka with Cucumber
Carrot, cucumber, red pepper and cubes of gruyere or emmenthal cheese
Cubes of cheese, cucumber and cherry tomato
Squares of tortilla omelette
Salami, mini balls of mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes

Fruit on a stick
Thread a selection of fruits onto a thin straw or for older children you can use a skewer. You can use a mixture of fresh and dried fruits eg:
• Chunks of pineapple
• Dried apricots
• Strawberries
• Melon
• Kiwi
• Grapes
• Cubes of mango
