In the back-to-school fever the lunchboxes are calling for healthy and fun ideas to fill them. Today tuna is in the spotlight for an affordable lunchbox filler as they are often sold in multi-can deals and come in lots of flavour options. Yes, you can just eat it straight out of the tin but below are two ideas that incorporate tuna, elevating your kids' lunches to a new level of health.
Fritters are a favourite for adults and children alike. Crispy, golden, baked or fried, fritters are an easy treat that can be made in under 3 steps: mix ingredients, fry, and serve. It's a fun way to get the kids in the kitchen with you as they're so easy to make and with a batter full of zucchini, carrots or corn alongside the tuna, you can tune it to your preferences. Just don’t forget the cheese!
A quiche goes a long way in filling out a lunchbox as you can portion it as big or small as you like. Super good for those growth spurts and providing energy with the eggs, milk and veggies along with the tuna. Top it with cherry tomatoes to bring a pop of colour to your lunchbox and keep your kids going all day.
Tuna is a powerful food that supports healthy development and promotes brain health. Filled with vitamins and omega-3's, calcium and magnesium, and also low in fat, tuna should be on your shelves this back-to-school season. Either by itself or mixed into other recipes it’s a great, affordable option for lunchboxes this school year.
