While your child is still dependent on you, before they gain some independence, they need to be able to rely on you to make healthy and varied food choices for them. Lunchbox ideas are often the hardest ones to think of as if your kids are back to school and not having lunch at home then you need to think of a healthy lunch that can be eaten cold, can be made ahead of time, can easily fit into a lunch box, can be eaten without making a mess, easy to eat but still tasty, exciting and fun…and what could be more fun than food on a stick? And not just any food, but a Chicken Cobb Salad on a stick.<\/p>\n

Toddlers and young children are growing and developing quickly, so it\u2019s a critical time to make sure they are eating well to get all the energy and nutrients that they need. As well as this, it\u2019s an important time for children to learn about food and eating so that they get into the habit of consuming a healthy, varied diet that they can enjoy with the rest of the family. We all know the importance of giving our children lots of different types of food from a very early age but putting this into practice on a day to day basis can be hard and finding quick, easy and healthy lunch options perfect for toddlers and older kids too is even harder.<\/p>\n

While healthy lunch ideas for adults can consist of last night\u2019s leftovers, for kids it\u2019s just not that simple, with no microwave, kettle or cooker to use and no option of eating out or ordering in, it is easy to turn to the traditional, unimaginative sandwich which isn\u2019t the healthiest of choice for back to school if you\u2019re giving your child a packed lunch every day. Kids usually turn their noses up at a salad for lunch but not this creative Chicken Cobb Salad on a stick; it\u2019s a winner with most kids, it\u2019s delicious, refreshing and filling too, so give it a try.<\/p>\n
