TRU News

We're fast approaching back to school time (and maybe back to work too if you've been at home with the kids over the summer hols) and thoughts invariably turn to school uniform, pens and pencils and lunchboxes!

Lunch can sometimes be a tricky meal on a 'Free From' diet - especially because it's often eaten out of the home at school or at work. So don't forget about all our tasty Trufree products that are perfect for lunchboxes.

Trufree crackers are a popular alternative to bread and great for dipping, spreading and snacking. Pack in your lunchbox with some hummus, coleslaw or a cheese triangle for an easy but delicious 'Free From' lunch. The crackers come in three flavours, Herb & Onion, Spicy and High Fibre, and at less than 26 calories each are a handy choice for including as part of a healthy, balanced diet.

Another excellent lunchbox option is our crumbly and cheesy Cheese Biscuits. Delicious with cheese, ham or hummus, they're a great alternative to sandwiches.

Why not try our recipe for Packed Lunch Pasta Pots - delicious for the kids and you! It provides two out of your five daily recommended portions of fruit and vegetables and can easily be prepared the evening before.

If the kids (or you!) don't want to miss out on a treat at lunchtime, there are plenty of Trufree sweet biscuits to choose from. For minimal fuss in the morning (when there's enough to do!), choose Milk Chocolate Nobbles, Milk Chocolate Digestives or Digestive Biscuits, which all come already wrapped in individual portions of four biscuits - yum!

If you'd rather something hot at lunch, particularly as it starts to get a bit colder, Trufree Quick Snack pots are a warm and filling alternative to sandwiches. Available in two varieties, Potato & Vegetable and Rice & Lentil, they'll certainly keep you going till home time.
