Menu Planning: A Month's Worth of Healthy Lunch Ideas , inspired by Rujuta Diwekar


In January month, Rujuta Diwekar uploaded some videos on youtube regarding kid's health. Here is the link of the videos: 

She also wrote on the same topic, "Notes for Healthy Kid", it's a very good book. There are many good takeaways from the book like menu options, parent-kid relationship, the importance of free play etc. She gave valuable knowledge about our Indian food.

The guidelines which she mentioned in her videos are very easy to follow. So here are my one-month healthy lunchbox ideas, which I created using Rujuta Diwekar tips and ideas. I have tried not to include bread as well as factory-made products.
