02.01.2022 Are your kids feeling the chill this winter? Packing a thermos (insulated container) filled with hot leftovers or a fresh soup is a great way to add a little warmth to your childs lunchbox. Tips for using a thermos: Use a child size thermos that keeps food hot for 6+ hours ... Pack saucy foods or soups (avoid dry food like rice and eggs) Warm your thermos with hot water first, then tip water out and add your hot food. Test your thermos at home to see how it holds heat from morning until lunch. If it holds heat very well you might want to let it cool slightly before tightening the lid and sending it off to school. If it doesnt hold heat for long, then heat food until its piping hot (meaning it will cool off by lunch). A great thermos recipe to try is our mac and cheese bake https://www.crunchandsip.com.au/recipe/mac---cheese-bake. #packedwithgoodness #crunchandsip #winterwarmer #healthylunchbox #lunchboxideas #childnutrition #vegetables #healthykids #parentnutrition #thermos #macandcheese
