Hey parents and caregivers of school children, we're talking to you! Week one of school lunches are done. 😮💨 As you prepare for the juggle of work and school in the following weeks, here are our top snack ideas we’d recommend you prepare in advance (like pre slicing cheese cubes or cutting carrots) for simple lunchbox snack additions during the week. And did you hear #lunchboxweek2025 is coming up? We have something (very exciting) about to launch, so stay tuned! 🚀

T’was the night before (some) schools start, when all through the house (parents sigh a relief, school is back). Not a creature was stirring (except the rotten banana you found in the bottom of the bag from term 4). 🥴 Don’t worry parents and caregivers, we’ve got your back! Keep your eyes peeled for lunchbox tips, tricks and ideas coming your way over the next few weeks! 👀 But to pose a question, has the haunted rotten banana ever made an appearance in your house? 🍌

Do yoooooooooou know why Australian Open athletes eat bananas as their pre-game snack? Bananas are the ultimate pre-game fuel! They’re packed with natural carbohydrates for quick energy, potassium to help prevent muscle cramps, and B vitamins to support endurance. Plus, they’re easy to digest — giving players a steady release of energy without weighing them down. Whether you're hitting the court or tackling a busy day, a banana is a simple, powerful snack to keep you going! 💪🍌
