With Thermomix®, families can enjoy everyday-friendly, nutrient-conscious recipes that put family needs first and support a waste-conscious lifestyle. Designed to be simple, practical, and balanced, they make it easy to browse collections, plan lunchboxes, keep snack time stress-free, and turn breakfast on the go into a delicious daily ritual.
• A grain or rice mix for 2–3 days as a side or salad base
• Roasted vegetables or gently steamed veggies for maximum flexibility
• One protein of choice: chicken, lentils, chickpeas, or eggs
• Two dips or sauces: one savory, one mild and kid-friendly. This is the variety we love.
Tip: Make a batch of bread or dough for wraps, portion it, and roll or bake fresh throughout the week.
A little planning goes a long way when it comes to feeling organized, cutting down on waste, and being ready for the week ahead. Pack lunchboxes and store your prep in reusable containers, bento boxes, and small jars, and keep moist ingredients separate so everything stays fresh and crisp. Leftovers can also go a long way – rice or quinoa make a great base for a quick salad, and day-old bread can be transformed into croutons or an easy sandwich. With thousands of triple-tested recipes on Cookidoo® and the My Week planner, preparing child-friendly lunches and snacks becomes much simpler. Don’t forget to add a cool pack on warm days to keep food fresh and safe.
Once meal planning is in place, everything else starts to feel more manageable. Keep the fridge ready for every moment of the day – with grab-and-go breakfasts to keep the kids going, packed lunchboxes to make school mornings smoother, and easy after-school snacks that refuel them with the goodness they need.
Prep once at the start of the week, switch things up as you go, and make daily life easier for you and more enjoyable for the kids.
