A mother has gone viral for showing her practical yet appealing lunch preparation for her young daughter.
Content creator @leshabane_kganya, who regularly posts about her toddler daughter, shared her easy lunch-making process with followers. In the video, she demonstrates how to make a delicious "bread pizza" sandwich that's perfect for a child's lunchbox. She begins by spreading tomato sauce on two slices of bread, then adds pieces of bacon, followed by a generous sprinkling of both mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
To finish the sandwich, she adds bits of vienna sausage before pressing the slices together. The assembled sandwich goes into an air fryer until golden and melty. To complete the nutritious lunch, she adds fresh fruit including kiwi, pineapple, and blueberries, along with a milk drink and a bottle of water.

Balancing nutrition and budget for school lunches
Preparing school lunches is a daily challenge for parents who need to balance nutrition, cost, and what their children will actually eat. Nutritionists recommend focusing on two main building blocks for a successful school lunch: proteins and carbohydrates.
Protein can be found in sources like chicken, lean meat, tuna, eggs, cheese, or peanut butter and helps keep children full, while high-fibre carbohydrates such as whole wheat bread, brown rice, or fruit provide sustained energy.
Sandwiches remain one of the most cost-effective balanced meals for school lunches. Many parents are turning to creative options like the pizza bread shown in this video to make familiar foods more exciting for their children.
Using kitchen appliances like air fryers can transform basic ingredients into meals that children look forward to eating.
