Some Handy Tips for your Kids' Lunchtimes


Moderate. Your child needs to have a wholesome lunch, but do not overwhelm your little one with too much food! Send as much food as they can comfortably finish, ensuring that they have a sense of achievement. It is never too early to teach them not to waste food!

Variety. Excite your child with a wide variety to choose from, be it a Rava Dosa (using Soulfull's Rava Dosa Mix) or some rolls. Mix and match to make lunch an exciting affair!

Non Messy. Make sure your child's school lunch box is packed to avoid leakage. Pack it in a way that is easy for them to handle, be it chutney smeared Soulfull Idlis or grilled sandwiches.


Attractive. Keep in mind that the visual is the strongest driver for kids' appetites. Make sure that your school lunches look yummy!  


Fun. Add a dash of fun to your lunch box, a li’l reward for the child. A handful of Soulfull Ragi Banana Flakes to be had as a nutritious dessert after lunch, perhaps.  

It is a good idea to make chutneys and spreads over the weekend to use for packing in as accompaniments during the first few days of the workweek. Just mix a little curd, mustard and chili sauce, salt, pepper, chopped tomatoes, chillies, onions and coriander leaves or cheese to make a salsa!

For Dosas, you can sauté one onion, tomato, green chilli and grind with salt and coriander leaves to spread inside the dosas.


Lastly, take it easy. You should not be huffing and panting after packing your kids' lunch boxes. Make sure you choose fun, and easy to make options (like the Soulfull Rice Idli), that can be made in a jiffy, and that are nutritious too!
