A week of wholesome lunch ideas that your kids will actually eat!

Using school lunches as a place to lay a strong nutritional foundation can have immeasurably positive effects on your child. While it may seem impossible to find convenient options that don’t contain seed oils, added sugar, dyes, etc., an increased demand for simple ingredient options has created a growing market of better-for-you equivalents you can swap into your pantry. These seed-oil free, whole food recipes are easy to prepare, kid-friendly, and packed with the nutrients needed for optimal health and cognitive function.


1. Chicken Strips and Apple Slices

For your pickier eaters who are less adventurous, here's our spin on this kid-friendly lunch.

  • Mary's Organic Chicken Strips are one of the few seed-oil free options. With such great ingredients, you can feel good about packing these instead of making them from scratch!
  • Apples, sliced and (optional) peeled
  • 88 Acres Pumpkin Seed Butter. A great source of iron and protein, this is perfect to dunk those apple slices in, and is an easy allergy-friendly alternative.

2. Snack Box

This option is fun for kiddos, and busy parents! Gone are the days where packaged snacks mean bad ingredients. Here's our round-up of some of the amazing quality ready-to-go options you'll be thankful to have on hand for those especially rushed mornings!

  • Skout Organic Kids Snack Bars ensure your kiddos are getting real ingredients in their bar (7 or less in fact!). The size is perfect for kids appetite's, and you can keep these anywhere - cars, backpacks, diaper bags, etc.
  • Chomps grass-fed and finished beef sticks. Easy, yummy, and a good source of protein.
  • Sunnie Dippers are perfect for lunchboxes, and the ingredient lists are 10/10

3. Turkey and Avocado Wrap

A quick and easy option that packs well, and stays fresh until the lunch bell rings.

  • Sprouted Whole Wheat Tortilla. We love this flourless option by Food for Life.
  • Avocado
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato
  • Sliced Turkey. True Story is saying no to nitrates, fillers, and hormones, and sources their meat from farmers practicing sustainability.

4. Pasta Salad

With so many variations, this dish is perfect for packing in vegetables your kids won't object to. It keeps in the fridge all week - this is your new go to!

  • Organic Sourdough Pasta. That's right - certified organic pasta that uses sourdough starter for added gut-health benefits. We're obsessed!
  • Produce of your choice. The options are endless, and perfect for using up what's left in your fridge.
  • Primal Kitchen Dressing is a perfect way to bring this dish together. From Green Goddess to Buffalo Ranch, they're making tons of canola-oil-free options!

5. Homemade Pizza

We know what you're thinking - pizza? That can't be the best option for lunches! However, making a pizza at home allows for all kinds of opportunities to add in nutrients. We love pureeing squash and mixing it in with the pizza's sauce. Slicing zucchini, and other veggies for toppings will ease your kiddos into a vegetable-heavy lunch.

  • Pre-made pizza dough
  • Butternut squash to include in sauce
  • Primal Kitchen's Marinara is sugar-free and made with avocado oil
  • Organic cheddar and/or mozzarella
