I often hear moms asking other moms for ideas of no sandwich school lunch ideas – and it does not surprise me. Growing up, I did not like sandwiches. I think it started after having the same bologna sandwich for my elementary years. By the time I got to junior high, I was just done! Even to this day, sandwiches are not my favorite food. My daughter has taken after me and prefers non-sandwich lunches packed in her lunch bag. However, it can sometimes be hard to pack a school lunch with no sandwich.
NO SANDWICH SCHOOL LUNCH BOX IDEAS:
-
Homemade granola with yogurt and fruit
-
Wrap cheese and apples with ham
-
Fruit, cheese & meat kabobs
- Maple scotch eggs
-
Cheese and crackers – add some fun by using small cookie cutters to make the cheese into shapes!
-
Veggies and dip – try this delicious homemade RANCH dressing!
-
Veggies and hummus
-
Cream cheese, turkey & cheese wrapped in a tortilla
-
Pizzas made out of English muffins
-
Hot oatmeal in a thermos
-
Cheese quesadilla
-
Make your own “lunchables” by putting crackers, cheese and lunch meat into a container.
-
Tortilla chips and salsa
-
Mini pancakes with syrup for dipping
-
Fruit smoothie
-
Of course, sending leftovers from the night before is another great alternative to sandwiches.
