With Bug
now in school part-time, soon to be full-time, I have started thinking about
lunchbox ideas so that when the time comes for him to have packed lunches at
school he will have healthy lunchboxes and school compliant juice drinks to
keep him well fed, energised and refreshed for busy, fun days learning at
school.
Being a
mum new to packed lunches at school from the perspective of a parent I am
slowly learning about school food and drinks standards to help me provide Bug
with healthy and nutritious packed lunches and drinks that are school compliant.
Whilst the internet has been a wealth of information and ideas for healthy
lunchboxes perfect for school what I have struggled with is finding an
alternative drink to water that is suitable for school.
As I am on the lookout
for healthy lunchbox drinks perfect for school compliant lunchboxes when I popped
into our local Tesco the other day to pick up packed lunch supplies I was
pleased to see Capri Sun’s Back To School Promotion in the drinks aisle. When I noticed that the new Capri Sun
Fruit Crush juice drink is highlighted as being school compliant I was delighted
at finding a juice drink that Bug could have at school every once in a while in
place of water to give him some variety when quenching his thirst. Having found
a school compliant juice drink I of course stocked up on a few boxes of Capri
Sun Fruit Crush, especially when I noticed that it was on offer………I cannot
resist a discount that helps me save money on items I need to buy.
Whilst Capri
Sun Fruit Crush is an attractive buy for #CapriSunSchool lunchboxes thanks to
the fact that it is 100% compliant with the School Food Standards, it is also
good to know that it is made with 75% Fruit Juice and 25% Spring Water, that
every pouch of Capri Sun Fruit Crush counts towards 1 of your 5 a day and that
it is available in 3 delicious flavours; Tropical, Apple & Pear, and Apple
& Blackcurrant.
Thankfully
Bug has always been a good eater, enjoying a nutritionally balanced diet that
helps keep his energy levels topped up for busy, fun and boisterous play. Whilst
I am lucky that I can’t complain that Bug is a fussy eater and know that he
will eat his food regardless of how it is presented to him, I have noticed that
when I give him food that is separated into small portions, cut into fun shapes
or presented to him creatively he always enjoys it more and eats every little
mouthful.
Knowing that
Bug enjoys his food more when it is presented to him creatively, making it more
visually appealing and the small portions easy to eat, I have been creating Bento
style lunchboxes for him when we have had days out and when we have had little
picnics in the garden or park. Bug loves his Bento style lunches and loves
helping mummy create them. As Bug loves creating and eating Bento style lunches
I plan on giving him them for his school packed lunch.
Being a
novice at Bento style lunches and having limited supplies for creating them I have
slowly been stocking up on supplies perfect for creaing Bento lunches with our
latest Bento-esque supplies being cute little blue silicone cupcake cases and
some adorable animal food picks.
As Bug was
eager to have a taste of Capri Sun Fruit Crush and test out our new animal food
picks we decided on having an impromptu family day out with a Bento style lunch
to keep Bug’s belly full and a pouch or two of Capri Sun Fruit Crush to keep
him refreshed and hydrated. Being a huge lover of fruit Bug demanded to have a
selection of yummy fruit to fill his lunchbox with.
Helping
mummy by placing the fruit into the silicone cupcake cases and placing the food
picks in amongst the bite-size fruit pieces and ham wraps so that his new
little animal friends kept the food safe, Bug proudly created his Bento style
lunch. Even though his lunchbox was filled with fruit galore counting towards
his 5 a day Bug insisted on taking both of the Capri Sun Fruit Crush flavours
we had bought, Tropical and Apple & Pear.
With a
lunchbox filled with yummy fruit, ham wraps and Capri Sun Fruit Crush we headed
out for a family day out at Folly Farm.
After
energetically playing at the soft play area and walking around the array of
animals including the giraffes and lions Bug declared he was hungry. Opting to
dine al-fresco on the grass Bug munched on his ham wrap and selection of fruit.
His Bento
lunch reenergised him for lots more fun and adventures at Folly Farm and the Capri
Sun Fruit Crush pouches refreshed and hydrated him. Bug declared that the
Tropical drink was yummy and that he liked the Apple & Pear juice drink. Hopefully
we will be able to pick up the 3rd delicious Fruit Crush flavour, Apple &
Blackcurrant, soon for Bug to try.
After a successful
and fun day at Folly Farm where lots of fun was had I can attest to the fact
that Capri Sun Fruit Crush juice drink pouches are convenient drinks for days
out and fun on the go especially as they can fit into small spaces in your bag.
Capri Sun Fruit Crush is a great, healthy alternative to water, they are
refreshing and fun and perfect for keeping little ones hydrated on days out and
at school.
Not only
are Capri Sun Fruit Crush pouches refreshing and tasty just as they are, they are
also extra refreshing after being frozen as they turn into delicious chilled
slushies as they defrost. As well as being an invigorating treat frozen Capri
Sun Fruit Crush pouches are also great for putting in lunchboxes to keep the
food cool and fresh.
Hopefully
Bug will love his packed lunches at school, eating everything from his Bento
style lunches and being refreshed from the odd treat of a Capri Sun Fruit Crush
pouch on a few days a week as a tasty and healthy change to water so that he is
fed and hydrated ready for lots of learning at school.
Capri Sun
Fruit Crush is a fun, tasty way to hydrate your little ones and get a genuine “Thanks
mum” from the kids this school year.
