With Back to School on the horizon, Lidl are here to help you plan for one of the busiest times of the year. With top tips on reducing food waste at lunchtime and getting more for your money with easy mid-week dinner recipes, Lidl have everything you need to get the family ready for the new school season.
Food Waste at Lunchtime
Preventing food waste can help families save money while also ensuring that kids are well-nourished and alert, giving them the energy they need to learn and have fun. Little changes in our daily behaviours can also have a major global impact.
Lidl have teamed up with their food donation partner FoodCloud, an Irish social enterprise with a vision for a world where no good food goes to waste, to bring you four simple tips to reduce food waste this Back to School season:
Involve the Kids:
Kids are more likely to eat food that they have been involved in making, leading to less waste! Why not get them to help in the preparation of lunches.
Make a Plan:
Prepare for the week ahead by making a plan. Think about the kind of lunches your children enjoy the most. Jotting down a list can be a great help to get you organised.
Track Lunchbox Leftovers:
Keep an eye on food that is coming back half-eaten. This is a great way to find out what food your kids like or dislike. Often times there may simply be too much of it and the solution is to reduce the portion size.
Slice Snacks:
Cutting up fruit can make it easier to consume. Studies have shown that being offered sliced apples makes children up to 61% more likely to eat them.
