Back To School Lunchbox Ideas

I have three kids who still take lunches to school and I feel like I have been making school lunches forever – six years so far but who’s counting. I know I get sick of the same ole’ same ole’ lunches and while my kids seem like they could care less if its the same, I care and want them to expand their horizons. My three kids all have different tastes and one has food allergies so it can be a challenge. I also like quick meal ideas for after school activities to tide them over because sometimes with sports practices we tend to eat dinner later or earlier than usual.

Here is a list of some fun back to school lunchbox ideas:


Gluten-Free Bagel Chips

Bread “Sushi” for Kids

Creamy Turkey Pinwheels

Chicken Veggie Wraps

Chocolate Black Bean Muffins

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Whole Wheat Olive Oil Crackers

Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

Shredded Zucchini Bites

Paleo Pretzel Dogs

Turkey Cheese Apple Sandwiches

Ham Rollups

Southwest Turkey Wrap

Chocolate Monkey Bites

Lunchbox Tacos
Cher

  • Thanks for sharing such a great list! My school lunch menu has gotten a little 'stale' lately, but these ideas look so easy and tasty! Definitely adding to my rotation.

  • We've hit a rut in our lunches and it's just a few months in! I will need to see if my daughter wants to try any of these great ideas. wraps are a staple in my house but she usually fails to want anything but pepperoni and cheese

  • I always had a hard time deciding what my child wanted to each for lunch he would tell me but would it be enough. I wanted to be one of those crafty cool moms to make something special for him but he wanted the basics, but these are cute and clever ideas.

  • I love all your ideas here and those turkey cheese apple sandwiches are delicious!! I know , I make a few extra for myself LOL.

  • I would love to make the bread sushi for my niece. She loves sushi and this is such a fun idea!

  • I like looking at lunchbox ideals for me. I get so bored with the same old thing all the time so this gives me lots of choices.

  • Gosh they sound awesome. I love packing lunches not sure if the kids like it bc i get all crafty with their food and write little notes and I guess thats not so cool anymore. Thank goodness their favorite is peanut butter and jelly
