Wet your appetite with these lunchbox ideas
Your school lunch can sometimes become plain and unappetising after a while, especially if you have the same lunch packed everyday
POLOKWANE – Here are five lunch ideas to spice up your lunchbox with unique and delicious foods:
• Arnold Palmer sandwich:
Combine finely chopped hard-boiled eggs and pickles with mustard and mayonnaise, then spread on a slice of multigrain bread. Combine a drained can of tuna, finely chopped celery and onion, mayonnaise and lemon juice, then spread on another slice of bread.
• BLTA wraps:
Mash an avocado with lemon juice, then spread on a whole wheat wrap. Top with crumbed bacon, chopped tomatoes, and thinly sliced romaine lettuce. Roll up and wrap in parchment or wax paper to secure.
• The Elvis burrito:
Spread peanut butter on a toasted whole-wheat wrap, then sprinkle with crumbed bacon and drizzle with honey. Place a whole banana at the edge of the wrap, then roll, pressing gently to break the banana and form a cylinder shape. Or, slice the banana, scatter, and roll.
• Shrimp rolls:
Combine chopped cooked shrimp, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped celery and fresh tarragon and black pepper. Transfer to an airtight container and pack with a whole wheat hot dog bun.
• Meatball sandwich:
Warm frozen meatballs in jarred tomato sauce and transfer to a wide-mouth thermos. Place a slice of provolone cheese in a whole wheat hamburger bun for assembly at lunch.
