Choose food which is rich in fiber, proteins, and various nutrients and low in added sugar. Whole grains are better over processed food. Cooking fresh food with seasonal vegetables and ingredients keeps your kid healthy and they fall sick less often.
Preparing for recipes the night before as much as possible also helps. Get the lunch boxes washed and ready, cut up vegetables or boil dals the night before and keep them ready.
