I am running out of lunch box ideas! I am a working mum and don't have much time to cook a meal in the morning. Yet I want to ensure my child gets a nutritious meal at break-time. What can I do that is quick and easy?

It's tough for working parents to make sure their kids will have a nutritious lunchbox every single day. If you want to pack a quick and easy, yet nutritious meal for your kids, start with fresh fruits. Apples, bananas, or mangoes are great snacks. You can also consider easy to make wraps or sandwiches on wheat bread/wraps. I found some additional fun and nutritious lunchbox ideas that won't take long to prepare: http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/collections/kids+healthy+lunch+box+ideas http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/family-meals/slideshow/25-quick-and-easy-school-lunches-to-pack-for-your-kids/?slide=1#6

A good idea would be to experiment with parathas depending on the vegetables your kiddo likes. Parathas are fairly quick to make and a lot of vegetables can be used while making them. For example: Cabbage, cauliflower, potato, carrot, radish etc. This way, you can introduce variety in your kid's tiffin as also save time. You will also be able to ensure that he stays away from junk food.

You can explore into Bento box for your kids as it is very fast and easy to prepare. Moreover, kids will be having fun eating your Bento with love.. The rice can be cooked a night before. In the next morning, you just need to steam the vegetables and have some decorations to make it a simple bento box.

There are lots of simple recipes you can experiment with. Try choosing recipes that meet your criteria – easy, delicious and nutritious. Here are 32 easy and nutritious kid-friendly lunch box recipes to choose from: http://poweryourlunchbox.com/recipes/lunchbox-ideas/
