**Subscribe to Koala Picks this January and receive a free kit and lunchbox cards to make your little one’s lunchboxes fun-filled and tasty!**
Packing kids off to school every day is often a daily stressor for many parents, struggling to find healthy and tasty food options to put in their children’s lunchboxes, not to mention needing to find ways to keep them fuelled when the school day is over – but not to fear, Koala Picks is here, with their range of healthy yet delicious snacks!
In June 2020, results of a study revealed that the prevalence of overweight and obese children in the UAE is 28.2% and the factors that are contributing to this is too little activity and too many calories from food and drinks. However, ensuring your children are receiving a well-balanced diet, especially when snacks play such an important role in the day can feel overwhelming for many parents.
School-age children need to eat foods from all the five healthy food groups – vegetables, fruit, grain foods, dairy and protein. Healthy foods have nutrients that are important for growth and encourage development and learning. The most important tip is to limit salty, fatty and sugary, low-fibre foods, and drinks with caffeine or a lot of sugar.
Stepping in to save the day, is Koala Picks, the UAE’s top healthy snack subscription box service, who can always be trusted with providing nutritious snacks that not only provide children with the foods from all five healthy food groups but are absolutely delicious too!
This January, to support parents with preparing lunchboxes and snacks that get eaten, Koala Picks has partnered with local family brand Citron, to make lunch box creations look as appealing as possible, because science says, the more appealing the food, the more likely it will be consumed. Simply put, if fruits, vegetables and other less ‘desirable’ foods for kids are cut into more appealing shapes, they are more likely to be eaten and enjoyed, even by those fussy eaters.
This month, Koala Picks is offering all new subscribers a range of their mouth-watering and wholesome snacks together with free lunchbox cards and a kit of Citron lunchbox accessories including sandwich and fruit cutters to create the ultimate fun and desirable looking lunchbox for your little one’s this back-to-school season.
All of Koala Picks snacks are produced in their licensed kitchen under the supervision of their in-house nutritional expert to ensure the best quality, taste and nutritional balance. Products are the perfect mix of sweet and savoury that are responsibly sourced and contain only the good stuff.
Koala Picks deliver across all the Emirates with a minimum spend of AED 50 per order. You can also purchase Koala Picks items from Café Confetti, Cheeky Monkeys, Fun City, Fun Block, Velocity Trampoline Park, Farm Box app and Depachika Food Hall in Nakheel Mall.
