Sultana Slice
Most kids have a sweet tooth, so here is a great slice giving them the sweet rush they love without the sugar overload. The combination of the icing and lemon in this healthy slice provides a sweet tang. Too many sweet products packed into school lunches make kids tired and lethargic. This then affects their ability to concentrate for the rest of the day.
Help your kids have the most productive learning ability possible by providing them a healthy nutritious lunch, while pleasing their young sweet palate.
