Our Passion For Healthy Eating
Inspired by a fussy eater!
I’m Katy, the founder of Tuckshop to You, resident of the Inner West of Sydney and mum of 3. My first child (and inspiration for the business) was a fussy eater from the age of 1, and caused me to re-think how I approach food for my children. As seems to be typical for first time mums, I went into solutions mode… I researched all I could about kids nutrition, and used this knowledge to get creative in the kitchen and I built up a repertoire of food options my kids will eat.
For the past few years I have been serving these food items in their bento style lunchboxes to take to preschool, school and sometimes to the park to share with friends. And the consensus seems to be - delicious!
A Fresh Take On Lunchboxes
Packed full of nutrition
Importantly for me, they often contain fruit, vegetables, legumes, pulses, beans or seeds so are packed full of protein, iron and other nutrients. The recipes minimise (but don't exclude) processed sugar and avoid fad ingredients and the unhealthy additives found in pre-packaged shelf stable food. And importantly for my kids, they look, smell and taste delicious.
Why set up TSTY?
Simplifying Quick And Nutritious Lunch Preps For Busy Parents
Other parents we met were struggling too, particularly those who were either balancing a hectic home and work life schedule and those who didn’t particularly enjoy baking themselves. Ultimately, our aim is to make it easier for busy parents to provide nutritious home cooked food in their kids lunchboxes.
So, we set up TSTY so you can fill up your freezer with nutritious home baked food to make filling your kids lunchboxes that bit easier.
