PHEW! Finally, the children are back in school. Some of us at Groceries2Go are parents to young ones ourselves, so we know that home schooling arrangements have been a big endless rollercoaster ride. But it’s not like we can all-of-a-sudden put our feet up (oh, we wish). Prepping our children for school is still a big job – and don’t you know it. There’s the uniform, the school bag, the homework, the P.E. kits, the lunch, the snacks, the drinks… We’re tired from just typing it out!


While children going back to school makes life a little easier for us, it may be a bit of a challenge for the youngsters – particularly with the change in required energy levels and motivation to stay focused. Something to make it a little easier for them – and for you! – is a quick grab-and-go snack for the soul – and the lunchbox!


Here are some of our favourite lunchbox additions:


Alpen Cereal Bars

Whether for breakfast, break-time or for the lunchbox, Alpen’s cereal bars are just perfect for those. They are cram-packed with an abundance of delicious ingredients – whether it’s juicy fruits or sumptuous chocolate – and they’re full of fibre, making them a great addition to your children’s diet. We have lots of flavours available, including creamy Strawberry & Yoghurt, crunchy Fruit & Nut and sumptuous Chocolate & Caramel.



If you prefer a lighter option, we also offer Alpen Light bars – available in fruity Jaffa Cake and dreamy Double Chocolate!



Quakers Breakfast Bars

Keeping to the theme of nutritious bars of deliciousness, renowned porridge company, Quaker, offers Golden Syrup Breakfast Bars. But they don’t have to only be for breakfast! They are a great lunchbox addition. Made with 100% oats, these bars are a great source of fibre – and calcium! Not only that, each individual bar offers the same amount of oats as a bowl of porridge – so you can be sure that your child’s snack is going to be substantial enough and a great source of energy.



Metcalfe’s Ricecakes

Metcalfe’s Ricecakes mix the perfect balance of wholegrain & white rice for that satisfyingly crispy crunch. Each slice is then lovingly coated in a generous layer of either yoghurty, milk chocolatey or dark chocolatey yumminess. And at 80 calories per serving at the very least, what is not to love. Best of all, Metcalfe’s Yoghurt, Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate Ricecakes are suitable for vegetarians, gluten-free, and contain no artificial flavours.


For the vegan kids, Metcalfe’s offer a range of scrumptious popcorn snack bags, which include Cinema Sweet and Sweet ‘n Salt flavours. Just as delicious, still gluten free and also under 100 calories!


Border Biscuits

For an extra lunchbox treat, why not go down the route of indulgence? Even if it’s just from time-to-time! Border – one of the nations leading family biscuitiers since 1984 – offers luxury mini biscuit packs, which comprises 5 different styles of biscuit, including Viennese Whirls, Golden Oat Crumbles, Butterscotch Crunches, Shortbread Rings and Chocolatey Cookies. There are 2 biscuits in every pack, so you can be sure that these biscuity treats are being consumed sensibly! Grab your box of Border Biscuits here.



Burts Crisps

Finally, for the children who just love their savoury snacks, look no further than Burts British hand cooked crisps. These quality crisps carry bags of flavour and offer an enticing crunch that your children will really look forward to every time they think about their food for the school day. The best bit, though, is knowing that the crisps that your children will come to enjoy are lovingly made in the UK by real people and free from preservatives. Choose from Sea Salt, Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar, Smoked Crispy Bacon and Devon Roast Beef.
