This weeks Kids School Lunch Box Menu Plan we have Moong Dal Biryani, Bhindi Masala, Hummus Wrap, Puri Chana & a Spinach Pasta.
Each day has a tip on how you can efficiently pack a kids lunch box and plan the menu the previous day, so the mornings are not so much of a rush.
The Moong Dal Biryani is a delicious dish where the moong dal adds to the nutrition and protein to the dish. From Hummus Wrap, Puri Chana, Spinach Pasta and in all our lunch boxes, we try to add carbohydrates and proteins, along with small portions of vegetables all of which are important for growing children. In addition, these foods give them the adequate energy to take on the tasks for the day.
I hope you enjoy these lunch boxes. Happy Cooking & Healthy Eating.
