Kingsmill lunchbox hacks that you won't be able to resist:
1. Sneak some wholegrain into kids' lunchboxes without them knowing
Kingsmill 50/50 loaf
Getting little ones to eat anything other than white bread can be tricky. Luckily, with Kingsmill 50/50, you don't need to compromise. A delicious soft white bread with 50% whole grain flour and 50% white flour, Kingsmill 50/50 provides whole grain without the texture that fussy eaters often reject. A family favourite, it's a great way of getting some extra fibre at lunchtime – in fact, just two full-sized slices provides half your daily whole grain*.
Available in a thick and medium sliced loaf, the sliced bread is ideal for lunchbox sandwiches. You can relax safe in the knowledge that the kids are getting the white bread taste that they love with the hidden whole grain that you'll love.
2. Sandwiches with a twist
Kingsmill 50/50 Thins
While sandwiches are a great tasting lunchbox staple, keeping them varied and interesting can be a real challenge.
Kingsmill Thins help do just that, offering delightfully different sandwiches in a flash. Tasty pre-sliced thin square rolls, they provide a versatile, easy-to-prepare alternative to sliced sandwich breads that are just as popular with kids as they are adults. Simply pop your family's favourite fillings into a couple of Thins and they're ready to go. Or liven up your own lunchbox and use Thins as the perfect accompaniment for such delicious dips such as hummus, Greek-style cucumber yogurt or a flavoursome cream cheese.
Thins come in four delicious varieties so there’s something to suit all taste buds – from Soft White, Wholemeal and Seeded to 50/50 which, like the sliced loaf, is made with 50% whole grain flour with 100% great flavour.
