Hello!

Today there are so many allergies like nuts around and we have to be careful what to pack for lunches. I have a preschooler and would like some recipe ideas that are school friendly.

  • My daughter’s favourite lunch is cheese and tomato sandwiches with a piece of fruit and a biscuit.


  • Sandwiches, savoury tarts or savoury muffins, fruit, vegie sticks etc.


  • I would say sandwiches and fruit & veg would be the safest option. Pretty boring I know!


  • Things like fruit and veg and bread are the safest foods I think!


  • stick to simple and fresh foods without packaging or preservatives – look for info on nude food diets


  • Fruit, veg and sandwiches are the safe options. You’ll have to go through ingredients if you want to buy cake slices or muffins. Otherwise make the at home yourself.


  • Fruit, vegie sticks, sandwiches, cheese and crackers etc.


  • Guys, disregard that last comment, I was answering the wrong question!! LOL. Sorry.


  • Sounds like a great idea, I just did a quick google and the bookdepository has some, and you’d be able to get them through ebay and amazon as well. Good luck, get yourself a nice set of pencils too. Derwents perhaps?


  • I agree – whole foods are basically the only option at our daycare – we send a big mixed fruit salad and usually rice cakes, maybe a slice of bread with cream cheese and ham – our youngest is pretty picky though so he enjoys plain foods eg/ popcorn no toppings.


  • Good old Vegemite sandwiches, a muffin, a piece of fruit & a bottle water, cordial for a treat is always a winner for mine


  • sushi


  • my daycare gave us a list of suggestions like fruit, veg and popcorn for the bigger kids


  • Vegemite sandwiches, carrot sticks, mini quiches, muffins, cheese and biscuits.


  • Choose low risk foods such as hard cheeses, freshly cooked meats and poultry, fresh, well-washed fruits and vegetables, canned tuna or salmon, shelf stable snacks and sandwich spreads.


  • I would suggest you check out the recipes section and school lunches for plenty of healthy and allergy free recipes.


  • Fruit in jelly, carrot, celery, cheese & bean sticks, homemade tuna sushi, rice crackers, fresh fruits, it’s hard but nearly everything in a packet may contain traces of nuts due to processing


  • My son loves to take salad and cheese wraps to kindy. Makes a nice change from a sandwich.


  • My kids mostly take ham and cheese sandwiches or wraps with a couple of pieces of fruit and/or veggie sticks, a piece of home made banana cake or a muffin, cheese and crackers, and water. Treats and those things like nuts, peanut butter etc can wait until after school.

    There are lots of great recipes in the “school lunch-boxes” recipe section here on MoMs. The one in the photo is we made and my oldest two love (especially good for rubbish free lunches)


  • will be interesting how much it changes over the years
