Back to school means back to early mornings, packed bags, and planning ahead, and if you’re anything like us, getting back into the lunchbox groove takes a little creativity (and caffeine).
This week’s Woolworths ½ price specials make it easy to mix things up with fun, balanced, and budget-friendly options. At Spixal, we’re all about the 80/20 rule, mostly nourishing foods with a little room for a treat. Because let’s be honest, balance is the key to surviving Term 4!
3 Easy Bento Box Lunch Ideas
Say goodbye to boring sandwiches! These three lunch box ideas are fun, simple to prep, and use items you’ll find on special this week.
Mini Hot Dog Bento
-
Mini hot dog rolls with frankfurts and a little cheese and sauce
-
Corn on the cob (my kids love this)
-
A mini packet of Grain Waves (1/2 price at Woolworths this week)
-
Apple slices
-
Small treat: Mr Kipling’s Angel Slice (1/2 price at Woolworths this week)
Fun, easy finger food that feels like a treat but still includes fruit and veggies.
Tip: Use mini rolls so it’s easy for kids to hold, eat and fit in the bento box, perfect for school or picnics!
Breakfast-for-Lunch Box
-
Bacon and egg muffin (using shortcut bacon (40% off at the Woolworths deli this week)
-
Cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks and dip
-
LCM bar for a sweet energy boost (1/2 price at Woolworths this week)
-
A handful of strawberries and a kiwi fruit
Tip: Prep the bacon and eggs the night before to save time in the morning rush.
Crunch & Munch Bento
-
Cheese and Vegemite pinwheels
-
Arnott's Shapes portioned into a small tub for crunch (1/2 price at Woolworths this week)
-
Pear slices and a mandarin
-
Yoghurt pouch (we've got something dropping soon)
Balanced, colourful and easy for little hands to manage.
Tip: Swap the fruit each day to keep the lunchbox fresh and exciting.
Keep It Balanced
We always start with fruit first — apples, pears, bananas, and mandarins are still great value and reliably eaten. Add a good source of protein, a small handful of snacks, and something fun to finish.
These ½ price Woolworths picks make it easy to fill lunchboxes without the stress (or the extra spend).
