Host Amelia Phillips is on a mission to solve all our lunchbox gripes! She's enlisted the help of lunchbox insta-superstar George Georgievski to help uncover the best lunchbox hacks for busy parents.
They discuss how to get set up for success, top hacks to bring the humble sandwich to life, and the best tricks for unadventurous or fussy eaters. When it comes to nutrition they discuss the 'rule of 5' and the essential mircro-nutrients many Aussie kids lack (and which foods offer more). They discuss game changing time savers, and how to prevent food wastage.
George shows us how lunchboxes can be an extension of our love, and how a few simple tweaks can go such a long way to expressing that love, and making our kids feel special.
