Making a quick and healthy lunch the kids will actually enjoy doesn’t have to be tricky when we stop over complicating things and bring back the humble sandwich.
School lunches are hard enough, particularly when it comes to creating something healthy, however, the classic sandwich offers a simple solution. There’s no need to spend hours slaving away in the kitchen, when using high-quality bread to make a delicious sandwich has the ability to not only keep the hangries at bay, but contribute much-need fibre to your child’s diet.
Bread is a great source of fibre, which is essential for children’s health, and, not to mention keeps them fuller for longer.
Wholemeal and wholegrain bread is typically higher in fibre, however, most kids refuse to eat any bread that isn’t white. That’s what makes Bakers Delight’s Hi-Fibre Lo-GI Lunch Box roll so great. With the same look and taste as a typical white roll, the high fibre alternative is also lo-GI.
Sara Grafenauer, an Accredited Practising Dietitian and General Manager at the Grains & Legumes Nutrition Council says these rolls are a good choice.
“With 5.5g of dietary fibre in each roll, plus some well-chosen fillings, these rolls are an ideal option for children heading back to school, contributing almost 20% of the dietary fibre they need each day. White, high fibre bread choices are a reasonable option when wholemeal isn’t practical or available.”
To make life easier, Bakers Delight is offering a Hangry Stoppers Combo at participating bakeries, which includes Hi-Fibre Lo-GI Lunch Box Rolls 6-Pack and Mini Savoury Rolls 6-Pack. The perfect solution for both lunch boxes and that all-important afternoon snack!
