It would be wonderful if they came to school after having a sugarless healthy breakfast!

Health conscious individuals are often concerned with the foodstuffs that enter their children's' bodies and the way they affect their energy levels at school. If you are the type who treats your body like a temple you’ll no doubt be familiar with the daily quandary over what to eat for lunch.

School requires focus, organisation and planning, which can only be promoted through implementing a healthy lifestyle replete with fruits, vegetables, slow releasing carbohydrates and lean meats. But sadly, nutritionally heavy foods are often thought to be lacking in flavour and texture. This doesn’t have to be the case!

There’s an abundance of tasty morsels out there that can satisfy your taste buds whilst promoting a healthy heart and inducing a happy body. The humble salad has a reputation for being bland and tasteless but the addition of simple ingredients that pack a punch into any lifeless leafy concoction can be priceless. Pickles, spices, sunflower seeds and roasted vegetables can make a dull salad into a thing of beauty. The action of roasting a simple carrot or tomato with a little olive oil (full of healthy fats), salt and pepper can intensify flavor leaving you with a bursting palate of choice flavors to enjoy.

Create multigrain open faced sandwiches filled to the brim with lean chicken slices, a dollop of mayonnaise and seasonings to avoid extra carbohydrates. Try home-made soup that easily be jazzed up with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and a crusty roll or heat up wholemeal pitta bread to eat with a humous dip as a snack.

For those with an unstoppable sweet tooth, exotic fruits like mangoes and pineapples can be far more exciting than apples and bananas. Juicy and colorful, they can be eaten at any time of the day without the guilt that comes with scoffing a mid-morning chocolate bar.
