Ghostly Sandwiches

Sandwiches are a staple in many lunchboxes, but why not give them a ghostly twist? Start with whole wheat bread and your child's favourite fillings, such as lean turkey or cheese. Use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to transform the sandwich into a hauntingly delightful shape.  Add edible eyes made from olives or cucumbers for a spooky finish. Packed in a Polar Gear lunch bag these sandwiches will stay fresh and fun until mealtime.

Spider Web Crackers

Create a web of flavor with spider web crackers. Use whole grain crackers and spread a layer of cream cheese or hummus on top. Use thin slices of bell peppers or cucumbers to create a spider web pattern.

Add a piece of black olive or a cherry tomato as the spider in the centre. These crackers are a great source of whole grains and healthy fats, making them a satisfying snack.

Store them in a Polar Gear Clic-Tite snack box to keep them intact and ready to enjoy. They’re a fun and healthy snack that adds a spooky touch to any lunchbox.

Mummy Wraps

Transform ordinary wraps into spooky mummy faces. Start with whole wheat tortillas and fill them with lean turkey slices, cheese, and fresh veggies like lettuce and cucumber. Roll them up tightly and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Use strips of tortilla to wrap around each piece, leaving a small gap for eyes.

To make the eyes, simply cut small circles of cheese and place a tiny piece of olive or a dot of ketchup in the centre. These mummy wraps fit perfectly into your Polar Gear lunch bag, making them an ideal choice for a lunchtime surprise.

Dracula's Blood Smoothie

Quench your child's thirst with a nutritious Dracula's blood smoothie. Blend together fresh strawberries, raspberries, a banana, and a splash of orange juice for a deliciously red treat.

Pour the smoothie into your Polar Gear bottle of choice . This smoothie is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fibre, making it a healthy and hydrating choice.

With these Halloween-inspired snack and lunch ideas, you can transform mealtime into a fun and festive experience for your kids. Not only do these creative meals encourage healthy eating, but they also allow busy mums to provide nutritious options without spending hours in the kitchen.
