Smart school snacks
Many primary school learners become hungry between lessons, especially during exam week. Packing simple but filling snacks can help them maintain focus. Smart lunchbox ideas include:
• Fruits such as apples, naartjies or bananas
• Yoghurt
• Cheese sandwiches
• Boiled eggs
• Popcorn( limit the salt or butter)
• Homemade muffins or banana bread
The aim is to pack snacks that keep them full for longer.
After-school energy
Instead of offering them biscuits or a sugary drink, offer them a balanced snack before study time. These include:
• Peanut butter on toast • A smoothie made with banana and milk
• Fruit and yoghurt
• Leftover chicken with crackers
• Scrambled eggs
This helps restore energy levels before they need to revise their work or do homework.
