My Lunchbuddy

My Lunchbuddy prepares fresh, healthy and delicious lunchboxes for children every morning and delivers these at schools daily before their morning snack time. For every lunchbox sold, we donate a healthy meal to a food-insecure buddy at underprivileged schools. My Lunchbuddy is born out of my passion for real and nutritious food and the inspiration to make this accessible for as many SA children as possible. So we can raise children with healthy eating habits, which I hope they will carry with them throughout their lives and share with their own families again.

My Lunchbuddy contains balanced and healthy kids’ meals designed to meet their nutritional needs during their day at school. Our food philosophy is quite simple. We focus on freshly prepared wholesome food that is made with real, natural ingredients and lotsa love. We use as much seasonal and organic produce as possible, nothing artificial or that we cannot pronounce, and we never include refined sugars in our meals. Our fruit and veggies are in-season and organic where possible. Our meat is organic and free-range. Our eggs are free-range, from chickens that are pasture fed without growth hormones or antibiotics. Our bread is naturally fermented sourdough. Our dairy products are natural and organic, and free of additives or stabilisers (butter, yoghurt, cream, milk). Our grains and flours are mostly ‘whole’ (think oats, whole wheat or spelt pasta, brown rice, barley or quinoa/ and stoneground whole wheat, spelt, rye, oat, buckwheat, brown rice, coconut and chickpea flour). We work closely together with a paediatric nutritionist to make sure all our meals are well balanced and contain the age-appropriate nutritional values.
