Getting Ready for School: Quick Tips & Delicious Lunch Ideas from Alima’s

Back-to-school season is here! For busy Moms and Dads, that means early mornings, packed schedules, and the daily lunchbox challenge. However, with a little preparation and the right lunch kit favourites from Alima’s, you can make school days smoother and more delicious.

1. Kickstart Routines Early

Start the school bedtime and wake-up schedule a week before classes begin. It makes mornings calmer and kids less cranky.

2. Plan Outfits in One Go

Lay out uniforms or outfits for the whole week. Less stress, more time for breakfast.

3. Create a Homework Zone

Set up a quiet, organized space for after-school assignments. It helps kids focus and builds great study habits.

4. Pack Lunches Kids Can’t Wait to Eat

Nutritious, tasty, and easy to pack, that’s the lunchbox sweet spot. Alima’s has school-friendly favourites your kids will love, for example:

  • Doubles – A filling Caribbean classic.
  • Pholourie – Perfectly snackable and kid-approved.
  • Roti Wraps – Soft, filling, and full of flavour.
  • Paratha Roti – Great with any of your children’s favourite filling.
  • Chicken Pies – Flaky pastry, tender chicken, and big on taste.
  • Beef Pies – Savoury beef in golden pastry — a hearty lunchbox winner.

Tip: Prep lunches the night before to make mornings a breeze.
