A question we hear (all too) often: how can we put together a lunch that is both balanced and appealing for our children’s midday break? How can we be sure that their lunch box will be enjoyed and come back… empty?
We asked Bérénice Jaime, registered dietitian based in The Hague, to shed light on the challenges of school lunches. She also agreed to share her perspective on the menus we have designed for the next three weeks.
Here are a few highlights from our interview with her. You can find the full conversation in the attached document.
Developing healthy eating habits
Learning to appreciate different textures is essential for building healthy eating habits.
There is no substitute for a hot meal when it comes to expanding a child’s palate and providing essential nutrients
The importance of eating well at school
A child who does not eat properly will struggle to focus.
Good nutrition and a balanced breakfast are key to children’s concentration and school performance.
DeliDej meals
DeliDej meals are carefully crafted and nutritiously balanced. I’m particularly impressed by the wide variety they offer.
These meals encourage social interaction around food, which is far more beneficial than quickly eating a sandwich alone.
For stress-free mornings and balanced meals, we have got you covered: let DeliDej take care of your children’s lunch 😉
