What great ideas!! I wish lunch programs were more health conscious. I don’t have school children needing a healthy lunch anymore but if I did I would sure use these ideas instead of the school lunches. (My baby is going to be a senior this year. She thinks she’s too old to eat in the cafeteria. Lol.)
We’re actually doing gluten-free for our son this summer to see if it might improve his health. This is coming in very handy! Love the celery and wrap ideas.
Tracey- Thanks so much for sharing my Bento box lunch post! The muffins are actually grain-free, but gluten free crackers work great too!
Thanks, Alison. I’ll make an update to note they are grain free. Looks delicious!
