Ok, so you cut out peanut butter from your school lunches. And then you cut out other nuts from lunches. And now you need to send in gluten-free, low sugar, nut free, allergy sensitive baked goods for birthdays. Good grief!
We know that every kid has their own sort of eating thing–allergies, sensitivities, preferences. And so packing school lunch can get….complicated. We wanted to try and make that a little easier with a few ideas for every restrictive diet we could think of.
Don’t forget to tell us what works for your kid–we know you guys have great ideas. Post below or on our Facebook page. You can also check out our 23 school lunch ideas your kids will actually eat.
