What's For Lunch?

Having a peanut-free campus this year means that we will have to come up with some new options for lunch! If you are wondering what to pack in your cooler for this Thursday, here are some kid-friendly ideas to inspire you :).

*a tortilla roll-up made with turkey slices, American cheese and lettuce
*a tortilla roll-up made with cream cheese, honey and baby carrot shreds
*sandwich on a stick: cubes of bread, cheese, lunch meat, grape tomatoes, pickles slid on a popsicle stick
*hard-boiled eggs
*string cheese
*clementines
*veggies with ranch dressing
*unsweetened applesauce

A wonderful alternative to peanut butter is a product called "SunButter", which is made from sunflower seeds in a peanut-free and tree nut-free facility. It has 7 grams of protein per serving and has a sweet, nutty taste!

We can also take a cue from LuAnn Reisler and bring a large fruit salad for lunch! It's a naturally sweet treat that is packed with vitamins and fiber.

If you have a favorite peanut-free lunch and snack idea, please share it in the comments section below this post.

Enjoy!!!
