|  | Most of us are happy to eat crisps, chocolate and cake every day, but did you know that these are high in salt, sugar and fat? If you want to be more healthy and creative with your food we've got some great ideas for some funky lunchboxes! Whether your favourite sandwich is cheese and tomato or ham and cucumber check out these ideas for making some tasty lunches! Top lunchbox tips  | | Make your sandwiches with breads like granary or wholemeal bread. If you want to try something different, try using pitta bread, tortilla wraps or chapatties | | | | Put some tasty fillings like tuna, ham or boiled egg in your bread, but then add salad like lots of tomatoes, cucumber and lettuce to make it even more tasty. | | | | If you like cheese, why not go continental with Dutch Edam or Italian Mozzarella for a different taste? Cottage cheese is just as good for you. | | | | If you don't always fancy an apple or banana, try a handful of grapes, some fruit salad, a small box of raisins or a small tin of pineapple bits in juice. | | | | Instead of fizzy drinks, have a carton of juice, a yoghurt drink or flavoured milk. | | | | Replace cakes and chocolate biscuits with some fruit bread or currant buns like hot cross buns. | | | | Why not add some plain popcorn to your lunchbox, instead of crisps? Breadsticks are also a healthier choice and make great pretend light sabres! | | | | Don't forget to include vegetables like cherry tomatoes, sticks of carrot, cucumbers, peppers and celery to your lunchbox. |
The golden rule to remember is to change what you eat every day. That way you don't get bored and your body gets the nutrition it needs.
