Few things are more fundamental to your role as a parent than ensuring your children get the nutrients they need every day to grow up happy and healthy. That can make it all the more frustrating and even guilt-wracking when you pack their lunch. If you’re like the majority of parents in Britain, you don’t have the time to whip up a brand-new healthy meal from scratch every day.
Durable Packaging
For one thing, Strings & Things are packed in sturdy plastic tubes, making them incredibly durable as a snack food. That’s good, considering the fact that we all know how children aren’t always the most careful with their lunchboxes. You need to make sure whatever you’re packing them for lunchtime can take a beating. Where sandwiches, jellies, yoghurts, puddings, and countless other food products might splatter under pressure, string cheese is durable enough to withstand a day’s worth of activity at school and still be in one piece come lunchtime.
A Portable Snack
Younger children especially often don’t have the patience for a sit down meal. They prefer to be running around playing with their friends. The last thing they’re going to want is to have a sit down meal. Once again, string cheese comes out on top in this respect. Its design allows children to eat while on the go.
But with all snacks, remember to clean their teeth!!
No Mess
What’s more, the last thing you want as a parent is a snack food that leaves a mess. No parent wants to spend forever cleaning up their kid after snack time, or to see them come home from school with their face or front splattered with food. Strings & Things solves this problem nicely. These cheese strings pose practically no risk for mess whatsoever, ensuring that snack time now doesn’t mean clean up later.
Healthy Snacks
Finally, as a parent, you’d naturally prefer your child to eat something a bit healthier than sugar-covered sugar all the time. That said, it’s a sad fact that snack foods and fast foods are often more convenient to prepare or eat than their healthier counterparts.
Strings & Things and cheese products like them are a welcome counterpoint to this. Each stick boasts 280 ml of milk, making it a viable option for getting in one of your child’s necessary servings of dairy per day. What’s more, these cheese strings are rich in calcium, contain Vitamin D, and have only 70 calories.
