It can be really hard sometimes to find things that our kids love to eat in their lunchboxes. Oat and Honey Slice is an easy home made swap for muesli bars, incredibly easy to make and an absolute child pleaser.

Adapting to completely home made lunchboxes and we adapt to being a low-tox home has been an interesting journey, needing to find easy swaps for things I previously purchased.

Some things have been super easy, and some I am still figuring out. But this oat & honey slice was super easy, and my children have LOVED it.
