What should I make my child to eat for the school break (bread box)?
Parents often pack their children’s lunch box for school and ask themselves what exactly belongs in it. It should be avoided that the children come home with the full lunch box or throw the breads in the trash. In order to prevent this, when putting together the break breads, it should always be made sure that the children like the food, which does not mean giving them only sweets.
In addition, children also eat with their eyes, which means that the contents of the cans of the person sitting next to them may look much more appetizing and therefore their own food is not eaten. Parents should therefore put together a breakfast that the child not only likes to eat, but is also healthy and filling. An ideal breakfast consists of several parts, once the bread or roll, which in the best case consists of whole grain cereals and thus contains more minerals and vitamins than white flour and longer makes full.
It is advisable to cover the bread with a hearty topping, such as cheese, to keep sugar intake as low as possible. Furthermore, the child should also be given some fruit, such as a banana or an apple, or vegetables, such as a carrot or cucumber. Wrapping sweets, such as jelly babies or cakes, should be avoided if you are concerned about the child’s healthy diet.
A balanced and healthy breakfast also includes a sufficient intake of fluids, and water is a good idea. If the child prefers a drink with taste, parents can give them cold, unsweetened fruit tea. Soft drinks are not recommended due to their high sugar content. At this point, knowledge about a healthy diet is important. We recommend our articles for this purpose:
