Children trying to trade their school lunch every day? Lunchbox coming back closer to full than empty? Think of it as a sign you need to step up your sandwich making game…

We went to the masters, and asked the team behind the very cool ‘Munchbox Mini’ for a few fun, yet easy ideas. And when you combine the simple ones they supplied, with a little pre planning, you’ll find packing fun, nutritious and delicious lunch boxes, in less than ten minutes is highly possible.

End result? You’ll be left with time for another cup of tea before the morning run, and come after school pick up, you’ll find the left overs are now next to non existent.
