 I love winters. With winter comes the nature’s best produce. Every year I get excited at the first sight of orange, carrot, green peas and bountiful seasonal veggies and fruits in the market. With winters slowly slipping away only to reappear the next year, let’s plan this weeks snack box and lunch box menu using the season’s fresh.

We have included recipes like ‘Gajar ka Halwa’, ‘Palak Paneer’ ,'Methi Matar Pulao' and more. We have also tried to include fresh fruits like orange and strawberries in the boxes. The snack boxes can be packed for kids age 3 and above and the lunch boxes can be packed for kids age 6 and above and even for working adults.

Kids love variety and our attempt is to bring in novelty every now and then.

We have tried to include variety of grains, proteins and vegetables to plan these boxes. Addition of nuts in the snacks give them good calories, essential fatty acids and vitamins. For kids below 5 years, try giving them in smaller pieces. Alternatively make a coarse powder from assorted nuts and try adding 2-3 teaspoon to suitable recipes.
