Discover new 100 Calorie Snacks for school breaktimes
In January 2018, governement guidance revealed that half of children’s sugar intake, around seven sugar cubes a day, comes from unhealthy snacks and sugary drinks leading to obesity and dental decay. They also identified that on average, children are consuming at least three unhealthy snacks and sugary drinks a day, with around a third consuming 4 or more. The overall result is that children consume three times more sugar than is recommended.
A Change4Life campaign was launched to encourage parents to look for 100 calorie snacks and limit it to two snacks per day. Many school caterers are also following this guidance and have come to Premier Foods for break time snack inspiration.
We have created a book filled with recipes and tips, helping you to make the most of school snacks. From McDougalls Naan Bread to the Paxo Egg & Vegetable Wedge, we’ve packed this book full of recipes, not only inspired by popular trends but also keeping in line with the latest Change4Life guidance. At around 100 calories each, the result is a set of break-time nibbles which are nutritious, tasty, and sure to be a hit with pupils.
