500+ School Lunch Ideas

Recipes

When it comes to packing school lunches, a little creativity is needed or your kids will get bored and may end up trading a bag of carrots for a handful of M&Ms. EEK! The list below will help you with school lunch ideas.

I love that I was able to find vegetarian, vegan, and even allergy-free lunch ideas! Feel free to add your own to the comments.

This post comes just in time with school getting ready to start back!

Tips for Healthy School Lunches

  • Give your child healthy options to chose from (they are more likely to actually eat it if they get to pick it out!)
  • Make lunches the night before so the mornings run smoother
  • Keep extra ice packs around the house
  • Invest in a nice thermos for hot foods
  • Use these for making cute sandwich shapes

Check out Rubbermaid LunchBloxย for the perfect School Lunch Solution!
