Many people find it difficult to be creative when it comes to school lunch box snacks. The challenge is even increased now days where many schools do not allow children to consume nuts on the premises due to the rise and severity of nut allergies. Due to this it can be problematic to provide children with enough protein to sustain their growing bodies. I have put together a list of high protein, healthy snacks for your children’s the lunch box that are both nuts free and meat free.
- Celery sticks filled with soft goats cheese
- Mixed seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, linseed, sesame)
- Mini Quiches
- Frittata
- Omelette roll
- Veggie sticks (carrot, celery, cucumber, capsicum, snow peas) with dips such as hummus, egg dip, Tahini, bean dip
- Hard boiled egg
- Can of tunaChai pudding
- Tahini balls
