Tuna Salad Lunchbox

20 February 2024

Embrace the lunchbox season with our tuna salad twist, for big kids and little kids alike!

When it comes to packing a lunchbox, the rules are universal: a good protein source (iron-rich for the little ones), 1-2 types of veggies, quality carbs, nourishing fats for energy and of course, variety! Experiment with different veggies, fruits, and carbs like crackers, wraps or pasta. Above all, make sure it’s delicious!

Prep the night before for ultimate ease.

Enjoy,
