But there ARE ways to find healthy, yummy meals and snacks that your child will ACTUALLY eat in their lunch box – as this mama discovered.

Clare Poole, who is a member of our Healthy Mummy community, has made a host of healthy meals and snacks from the Healthy Kids Lunch Boxes Cookbook.

6 NUT-FREE lunch box snack and meal ideas for kids

“I have a fussy eater and my kids’ school is a nut-free school and so things my kids love to eat at home are big NO-NO” says Clare.
“I love how creative The Healthy Kids Lunch Box Cookbook is and that there are heaps of recipes so my kids never get bored.”

Clare’s favourite meals from the Healthy Kids Lunch Boxes Cookbook

1. Italian Sausage Pizza

Think outside the ham and pineapple square for delicious toppings that will also pack a healthy lunch. Pizzas can be a great way to use leftovers. When choosing sausages, look for ones that are as natural as possible, with minimal flavours, preservatives and colours.

2. Zesty Chocolate Bliss Balls

This delicious twist on traditional bliss balls uses prunes, which are a great source of iron. With vitamin C from the orange, these are a good immune booster too.

3. Spicy Cheese Straws in the shape of trucks

Serve with some of the lovely veggie-based dips.

Chia seeds are an excellent plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids. They are also high in protein and fibre. Omega-3 fatty acids are wonderful for brain development.
