Pears are great for your digestion and are full of fibre that helps improve your overall health and brain function! Every week, our veg experts work with our growers to choose the best of what's in season to go in your box. And cutting them up to choc-dip them or pop them in a fruit kebab isn’t an option because they would go brown. I will be finishing this series next week with a selection of 12 different dairy options that are perfect for packed lunches. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees.

The food groups that I try to include in every lunch, based on the UK’s Eatwell Plate recommendations are as follows: starchy foods (carbohydrates), vegetables, fruit, dairy and non-dairy protein. Applesauce can also be used as a natural sweetener when you are baking, instead of using as much sugar. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH).To maintain our strong beliefs we use the best suppliers from our very own local fruit and veg markets. They can be quite high in sugar, particularly if they've been coated in honey or similar, so are best kept as an occasional treat. Stick to a small match-box sized serving of cheese as it is a good source of protein, calcium and vitamins but best eaten in smaller portions as it’s also high in saturated fat and salt. For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.

Please remember to ask the Post Office for your postage receipt and tracking details and retain them for your reference. Any veggie, like onions, bell peppers, celery, tomatoes, and corn, is a great addition to soup or chili recipes.We loved the idea of this, but having road tested it the minuses unfortunately outweigh the plusses. Raspberries are perfect for adding to almost any sweet dish - especially desserts or breakfast treats like yoghurt parfaits. Cook for 30-40 minutes on a medium heat, stirring every now and then, until the apples have softened and broken down. Although we know that eating healthily is important, and that a lot of fruit is really yummy, sometimes it can look a bit sad in our lunchboxes. The advantage of the oaty topping, as well as tasting yummy and making fruit more palatable to little tastebuds, is that it gives sustained energy throughout the afternoon to keep mini yummers going until hometime.
