Nut Free Lunch Ideas for Kids

 

This summer my daughter attended day camp for the first time! I knew she’d love doing arts & crafts, playing with friends and going on field trips twice a week. I also knew I’d relish the break! So when I signed her up and noticed there was a lunch option, basically for $15 extra bucks she would eat lunch after camp, I jumped at the option. It wasn’t until the orientation night a week before camp started that I learned she would need to bring a nut free lunch.

While it might seem easy to some to make a nut free lunch,  I was a little daunted by the task. So I headed over to Pinterest to get some ideas. I also decided to snap a picture of our nut free lunch whenever I remembered.  Sometimes in its packable state and other times on a plate, but any variety can be packed in a lunch box.

♦ Homemade Lunchable: cheddar cheese, turkey, crackers, cucumbers, apple

♦ Yogurt in a reusable pouch, baby carrots, cantaloupe, crackers

♦ Cheddar cheese, apple slices, red bell pepper, goldfish & marshmallows

♦ Raisin bread with butter, yogurt, raspberries

♦ Croissant,  yellow bell pepper, apple slices & mozzarella cheese stick

♦ Turkey roll-up, string cheese, red bell pepper, chips, watermelon & pickle

♦ Cheese sandwich, red bell peppers, raspberries

♦ Yogurt, blueberry muffins & blueberries

♦ Bread, mandarin oranges, cheddar cheese, hummus & carrots

Some of the meals below would need to be stored in a thermos but you can grab them on Amazon for $10-15 and you can fill them with mac & cheese, grilled cheese cut-up or quesadillas.

♦ Bagel toasted with butter, string cheese, red bell peppers, cantaloupe & strawberries

♦ Apple slices, quesadilla & veggie burger

♦ American cheese, turkey, pineapple, baby carrots & pretzels

♦ Cucumbers & ranch, apple slices, and Mac & Cheese

♦ Cheese sandwich, kiwi & red bell pepper

♦ Toaster Waffle Sandwich with Cream Cheese and strawberries, pineapple

♦ Pineapple & grapes, turkey and cheese sandwich, carrots

♦ Bagel with strawberry cream cheese, yogurt, strawberries

♦ Grape tomatoes, corn on the cob, carrots, pretzel chips & tuna salad
