The Ultimate School Snack list

Well, the Christmas toy displays have disappeared from the local shops, replaced by mounds of 'Back To School' themed paraphernalia; exercise books, black leather shoes, rulers and staplers.

Not only is it time to break out your book covering skills and hope you don't lose your cool in the process, it's also about now that you are probably wondering what marvellous creations will be making their way into your kids' lunchbox this year, and maybe having a mild heart attack in the process.

Fear no more, here is my ultimate list of school snack ideas to make your life easier. I strongly recommend the Jam Drops and Anzac Biscuits as they travel really well. For healthy options, go for the Sugar Free Banana Bread or the Quinoa Muesli Bar Slice!

These are also great snacks to make for work lunches as well, so those without kids don't miss out either!

Jam Drop Biscuits

I take you on a nostalgic trip with this childhood favourite! Jam Drops are one of the most simple biscuits and can be pulled together with the most basic of ingredients.

Rhubarb & Apple Cake

The green and pink of the rhubarb adds a prettiness to the top of the cake and the tartness is perfectly complemented by the stewed apple.

Strawberry, Apple & Coconut Slice

Old English Matrimonial, Louise Cake, Sawdust...call it what you like, but there's no doubting how lovely the combination of the biscuit base, the jammy layer and the chewy coconut crust can be.

Honey Biscuits are the type of 'basic' biscuit that can be whipped up in ten minutes and out of the oven within 30.

I make these biscuits for my friends and family every ANZAC day. They are my way of paying tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the country I live in.

Easy Banana Bread

Low in sugar, this Banana Bread is deliciously tasty, light and perfect enjoyed fresh out of the oven with a little butter - or on its own!

Choc fudge oat brownie

I have been thinking lately about the fact that I always seem to be dieting, which just makes me feel depressed and deprived.. and suddenly I realised that I should probably just focus on eating healthy instead of counting calories. I've been needing some sort of healthy snack to get me through the afternoons.
