Supermarket bought bliss balls are generally full of preservatives and refined sugar. Or where not with refined sugar still over 50% sugar with the high level of dried fruits. You can make bliss balls that are higher in fat and lower in sugar which is my preference but these are generally not so great in the lunchbox as they tend to …
I’ve been experimenting for a while for a nut free, grain free, dairy free “muesli” bar that will hold together for the school lunches. This is the current best attempt so far. The challenges are that what holds most bars together is the grains and loads of sugar plus they’re usually full of additives and preservatives including industrial seed oils …
1. How do you keep the food fresh for lunch? A common question I get asked is how to keep the food fresh for Dom’s lunches. One thing to remember is that many adults and children are having chicken (or other type of meat) sandwiches and keeping these in their bags without any issues arising even though they’re not using cooling packs. …
Hey everyone – so today is a day when I’m getting back on track with being organised and pre-prepared. There have been a lot of things going on and what with Dom being sick and then us going overseas and then back again it all got a teeny bit dis-organised to say the least. For me I find the key to …
Coming up with varied, balanced, quick and easy lunch box meals that children will actually eat is a daily challenge for parents around the world. And when by necessity or because of dietary preference you’re trying to avoid all processed foods as well as grains, gluten, dairy and/or nuts then things can get especially tough. The key to success with …
Another day and another Paleo PlanetBox Lunch Box for Chef Dom: Beef Mince with Red & Yellow Capsicums Sweet Potato (Kumara) Fries with Homemade Mayo Grapes & Strawberries Hard boiled eggs & Olives Cocoa & Kumara Bliss Ball. The beef mince mixture is fairly self explanatory. For the sweet potato fries I sliced these and rubbed with coconut oil and then …
So I was going to say with this post “Here’s Chef Dom’s Lunchbox – it only took 5 minutes to put together the night before using leftovers and fruit and kept in fridge overnight to make for nice cool lunchbox and an easy morning.” But then I read the sentence back to myself and I thought – that’s just not …
What’s for lunch for you today? In this Chef Dom lunchbox we’ve got: Zoodles (Spiralised Zucchini) with Bacon (leftover dinner) Grapes Beetroot & Haloumi Cheese Olives & Cherry Tomatoes Kebabs Plum Bliss Ball (Valentines Day leftover). Dom does love grapes but we’re moving away from them as a standard because they’re higher in sugar in comparison to other fruits and …
How’s your week going? If you’re looking at stainless steel lunch boxes here’s another to consider. It’s a LunchBots lunch box. We love this one as well as the Planetbox. They have different pros and cons. I’ll do a post on that as soon as I get a spare moment – which is pretty much never but will make some …
Another Chef Dom lunch in his PlanetBox: Interested to know if many of you make your own lunches?! Comment below “buy” or “make”. I know when I was working in an office I used to either buy it or more often just not eat any and keep working through… One thing I love about making a Real Food Lunchbox is that …
