Pack a Powerhouse Lunch: Organic Snack Ideas for Kids on the Go

Laundry, breakfast, packing lunch, the morning routine is the same for all mothers. But the most difficult part is the quest for the perfect lunchbox. As a parent you want your child to excel in studies, sports, and life, and that requires a healthy dose of physical and mental energy. And that's where a nutritious lunch comes in.

But, as you know kids are picky eaters. They'd much rather devour instant noodles, mayonnaise, pizza, or pasta than munch on veggies or whole grains. And who can blame them? These foods are tasty, convenient, and widely available. But as parents, we know that these options aren't exactly the healthiest choices.

So, what's a parent to do? The answer lies in organic food. The world is slowly waking up to the benefits of organic produce, and for good reason. Organic food is not only rich in nutrients but also free from harmful chemicals, making it a win-win for our health and the environment.

In this blog, we'll explore the wonderful world of organic Himalayan ingredients and share some tasty, healthy, and easy-to-make lunch ideas that your kids will love. 

Organic Lunch Box Meal Ideas for Kids

Ragi Dosa/Cheela

Start by mixing one cup of ragi atta with rice flour. Add finely chopped ginger, chili, coriander, curry leaves, onion, along with black pepper powder, cumin powder, and salt. Gradually add water to make the batter. Let it sit for a while. Heat a pan, apply ghee, and make crispy ragi dosas. Serve them with Nirvana Organic Apple Chutney for a delightful treat.

Ragi Idli

Take your regular idli batter and mix in some ragi atta. Pour the mixture into idli molds and steam them as usual. These ragi idlis pair wonderfully with coconut chutney or Nirvana Organic Apple Chutney.

Ragi Pancake

Mash a ripe banana, then mix in oats, ragi atta, and nut powder. Shape the mixture into small pancakes and shallow fry them in Badri Cow Ghee. Your delicious and healthy ragi pancakes are ready to enjoy.

Apple Jam Sandwich

A sweet and satisfying option, this sandwich is made with whole grain bread generously spread with Nirvana Organic Apple Jam. It’s a simple yet tasty treat that kids will love.

Red Rice Pulao

Pulao is always a hit with kids. Make it healthier by using Himalayan Red Rice, which is rich in both soluble and insoluble fiber. This helps keep kids feeling full longer. For a twist, add corn and peas instead of the usual carrots and potatoes. Cook the pulao with a flavorful tadka in A2 Badri Cow Ghee.

Paneer Stuffed Ragi Paratha

Prepare a delicious paneer stuffing by grating a block of paneer and mixing in fresh spices and aromatics. For added flavor and digestion benefits, add carom seeds (ajwain) to the dough. Roll out the parathas, stuff them with paneer, and cook. Pack these ragi parathas with some chilled, spiced yogurt for a balanced lunch box meal.

Rajma Kebab

Rajma Kebab is a vegetarian delight, combining the richness of kidney beans with a burst of Indian flavors. Mash cooked Rajma into a coarse paste. Sauté onions, green chilies, and tomatoes, then mix them with the mashed rajma and other ingredients. Shape the mixture into small patties and fry them in oil or ghee until golden brown.

Himalayan Rajma Chawal

Rajma Chawal is a beloved dish in many North Indian homes. Cook the kidney beans in an onion-tomato base until soft and buttery. Serve this flavorful rajma curry with Himalayan Red Rice for a nutritious and comforting meal for your kids.

Rose Shrikhand

For a simple, sweet treat, make Rose Shrikhand. Start by straining fresh curd through a muslin cloth, letting it sit overnight in the fridge with a heavy object on top. The next day, whisk the hung curd with 2-3 tbsp of natural Rose Water and some stevia or honey. Pour into bowls, refrigerate for 2-3 hours, and enjoy a refreshing dessert.
