There are creative ways parents can do to make their kid’s meals at school, not only healthy and delicious, but exciting, too.
Appliance brand Beko shares these tips on how to make sure children will eat their baon:
Plan ahead
Meal preparation is a great way to save time. By creating a timeline and assigning specific meals for the days ahead not only make cooking easier but also economical since it gives parents an overview of everything they need to prepare. It is better to have the kids around when choosing a recipe and to give them healthy options to choose from. Since they are the ones eating it, take their suggestions seriously—this will allow them to develop the habit of making choices on their own.
Make it simple
For kids, breakfast or lunch break is a great time to play. Hence their meals should be easy to eat to avoid any chances of it being left untouched. Prepare dishes such as fried fish, chicken, or pork and include fruit or vegetable as their side dish.
Add a bit of fun
Make kids’ baon more fun by jazzing up the packaging. For example, a bento box is a good way to make them eat their foods. Cookie cutters can turn sandwich, fruits, and other foods, into fun, exciting shapes. Doing this will allow also children to scarf down their meals easily.
Think small servings
Big portions can be overwhelming, especially for kids. Sometimes, an adult’s idea of the right serving is more than what a child needs. Cut the foods into small pieces to make them easier to eat. For example, instead of putting a whole apple, slice it into small cubes. This way, wasted food can also be reduced.
Keep it safe and fresh
Food items such as meat, cheese, fish, and milk are likely to spoil when left out in heat. Consider using a thermal/insulated lunch box to pack perishable foods. Insulated containers can also be used for soups or stew. By controlling the temperature of the food, helps minimize the chance of kids getting sick.
To keep foods in an optimal condition, consider Beko refrigerators. Its new age of NeoFrost Technology makes it easy for homeowners to keep produce fresh and safe. With two times faster cooling, the new age of NeoFrost helps retain the moisture for a longer time to keep the food as nutritious as when they were first bought. Its two separate cooling systems also help maintain the high humidity in the fridge, which keeps the freezer dry, frozen, and frost-free.
