After 25 years, a balanced lunchbox hasn't changed!

With back to school around the corner, mums will be on the lookout for nutritious and tasty snacks for their children’s lunch boxes.

Whilst fresh food such as fruit and vegetables are always the best snack choice, UNCLE TOBYS® Muesli Bars are also a good choice, adding nutrition and variety to school lunches.

UNCLE TOBYS® Chewy and Crunchy Muesli Bars are made with only natural colours and flavours and give kids low GI energyⁱ. They’re also a source of fibre and offer children a nutritious, filling snack.

UNCLE TOBYS® understand the nutritional needs of growing kids. The UNCLE TOBYS® Muesli Bars have been part of Australian lunchboxes for more than 25 years and are one of the best packaged snack choices available.

UNCLE TOBYS® Chewy Apricot, Forest Fruits and Apple & Blackcurrant flavours and UNCLE TOBYS® Crunchyⁱ are some of the best choices from the UNCLE TOBYS® range, meeting the nutritional criteria set by the Healthy Kids School Canteen Association for school canteens across Australia, whilst offering the goodness of UNCLE TOBYS® wholegrain oats. In each UNCLE TOBYS® Crunchy and Chewy Muesli Bar, kids receive an average of 25% of the daily wholegrain targetⁱⁱ.

To help mums choose the best packaged snacks and create a great balanced lunchbox, a hassle-free pocket guide will be available in supermarkets nationwide from late January. Developed by nutritionists, the guide has an array of nutritional tips and easy lunchbox suggestions. For a sneak peak of what's in the pocket guide, some ideas have been provided below.
