Gluten Free Lunch Box Ideas (Grain Free)

Packing lunches can be hard work, especially with picky eaters and/or dietary restrictions. This post contains a collection of gluten free lunch box ideas that are easy to assemble and kid approved. Mix and match, or simply use this post as inspiration for packing school lunches.

I pack my kids school lunch every single day. It's become part of my morning routine - packing lunches after making the kids breakfast. A lot of work? Yes, but something I find necessary for the health and wellbeing of my children.

See, I'm picky about what my kids eat. Which is why I won't let them touch hot lunch! However, I also struggle at times to get variety into their diets. Coming up with lunch ideas that are easy to assemble, taste good cold and contain food my kids enjoy does take time and effort. But once you get into the swing of it, rotating ingredients and having a regular grocery list, cold lunch can be quite easy to throw together.

So, without further ado, here's a collection of gluten free lunches with a nice balance of fat, protein and carbs that I've packed for my kids. Mix and match as you please, or just use this post for inspiration! And don't think this is just "kid food". Adults need to pack lunches too and these are some great ideas.
