Menu Guidelines
Two guidelines to keep in mind when creating an ezlunch menu for school:
1. Nutrition Guidelines:
These were issued a few years ago by the government of the day. These guidelines cover salt, sugar and fat limits and serving sizes.
Ezlunch menus will meet “everyday” and “sometimes” foods as defined by these criteria. Click here to download a copy of the Nutrition Guidelines.
2. Real simple ingredients:
At ezlunch we believe that food should be simple, tasty and ‘real’. We don’t have
long lists of chemicals in our food, everything is ‘homemade’ and healthy... and great to eat!
So even if a pre-packaged muesli bar meets the Nutrition Guidelines, it probably won’t meet ezlunch guidelines, because chances are it includes ingredients that cannot be found in a home kitchen.
Roast chicken would be great, but not ham or other deli meats (including deli
sliced chicken).... take a look at the ‘ingredients’ label to figure out why!
