Select Your Category
There are 7 categories – some products may be eligible to enter multiple categories.
- Breads and alternatives
Bread often cops a bad rap. But there’s no need to completely ditch carbs at lunchtime. In fact, high-fibre, low-GI carbs provide long-lasting energy to keep hunger pangs at bay. From sliced bread, wraps and rolls to gluten-free and lower-carb varieties, there’s something for everyone!
- Dairy and alternatives
Yoghurt, milk and cheese are high in calcium for healthy bones. These protein-packed snacks can be added to your lunch to keep hunger at bay. There are some great dairy-free alternatives available, too.
- Pantry shortcuts
A healthy lunch doesn’t have to involve hours of prep. We love a shortcut to easy healthy eating. Think canned fish, legumes, microwave rice, ready-made salads, soups, spreads and dressings. Stash in your fridge, pantry or desk drawer for nutritious meals made with minimal fuss.
- Snacks
The ideal snack for both kids and adults is low in added sugars, high in hunger-busting fibre and made with wholefood ingredients like nuts, fruit and grains. Perfectly portioned sweet and savoury snacks will get the tick of approval from our dietitian for both nutrition and taste!
- Chilled and fresh foods
Keeping some healthy packaged chilled and fresh foods handy in the fridge makes it easy to throw together nutritious lunches! Think beyond sandwiches – there’s a whole array of tasty alternatives.
- Healthy takeaways
Our Healthy takeaways category highlights the best options from takeaway chains that offer balanced meals, keeping health top of mind. From salads to grilled options, we’re on the lookout for takeaway choices that deliver on both nutrition and taste.
- Lunchboxes, bags and bottles
The right lunchbox, bag, or bottle can make all the difference in keeping meals fresh and ready to enjoy. We assess the best products for storing and transporting lunches with ease, focusing on functional and stylish solutions that make healthy eating more convenient.
