Do you send your children to school every day with the same cheese, jam sandwich, rice or noodlers?? Remember packed lunches should be adequately nutritious. Packing lunch for your kid can become either the most painful or most fun part of a mother’s cooking.

Breakfast is particularly important for school children. They have a tendancy to skip breakfast, which is bad. This will make them weak ,tired,and lethargic, which will result in lack of concentration.

Any cereal like oats, dahlia,milk, muesli, steamed banana and fruits will make a good and quick breakfast. If you have time in the morning then you can prepare whole wheat toast, sandwich with a healthy filling like cheese, peanut butter, chicken, eggs or veggetables, also paneer rotis with curd, idli sambhar for a healrhy breakfast.
