Tired of eating the same gluten free foods for lunch? Here’s a month’s worth of gluten free lunch box recipes with no repeats. These dishes are perfect for both kids and adults.
Here’s a tip: Got kids who play sports after school or run around a lot at recess? Pack a hydrating drink like coconut water or this homemade electrolyte drink in their lunchbox to help to restore electrolytes and help the body retain fluid. These drinks work well for a hot day too.
Where to Get Kitchen Pantry Essentials
I get my other kitchen pantry supplies like sea salt, black pepper, spices, coconut oil, and other essentials either on Amazon or my local health food store usually. But then I got a Thrive membership. If you don’t already have one – it’s awesome! It’s like Whole Foods meets Costco. Bob’s Red Mill baking soda, for instance, is about $3 at my local health food store and $6 on Amazon. But it’s only $2.03 (YES!) on Thrive Market. Great deal right? And the raw honey?! Don’t even get me started how much that costs at the health food store. But on Thrive Market it’s just $5.45 for a 10.5 oz jar of raw honey.

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!
