The Lunch Bag

We love a reason to mix things up and add to the excitement here at The Lunch Bag HQ - what better reason than GOAL jersey day!

We loved seeing everyone’s true colours shine through… literally! ⚽️🏉 (some are serious fans, others just liked the colours 😅)

See if you can spot your favourite team! 📸

Last week, renowned child psychologist Dr. David Coleman shared his wisdom and insights in Glanmire, Co. Cork. 💭

We were delighted to support such a lovely evening where parents and teachers of a lucky school (winners of our competition 🎉), received expert guidance on supporting children through life. 🌟

Last year, The Lunch Bag collaborated with Dr. Coleman to empower parents, providing practical guidance and support to help children develop healthier, happier eating habits. We’re proud to support children and the communities around them too 💖

Oh September, you came in HOT! 🔥 After a restful summer it went from zero to full speed in seconds, with a hundred things to do (all before 9am) 🏃🏻‍♀️🎒

Now? Routines are rolling, the rhythm’s here and the flow feels just right ✨

Shoutout to the principals, teachers and school staff who survived September! School is well and truly back. 🙌

⭐️ OUR REFORMULATION PROJECT❗️

Cooked for compliance but crafted for so much more 🥰

Guided by CORU-registered dietitians, we have transformed familiar favourites into everyday nutritious choices. Despite regulation changes, children can still enjoy the meals they love, while parents and schools have the confidence that every meal is backed by science, shaped by expertise, and crafted with care ✅

Although the standards guide us, it’s the children that inspire us ✨ This project was about inclusivity, diversity, accessibility and passion. Because every child deserves a healthy meal, and we’re here to make that happen. 🚀
