I said that I would write a post about Veda's gluten free school lunches, so here it is! There are some days that weren't pictured because taking a picture of my daughters lunch wasn't always easy for my groggy eyes at 7am haha!
So here we go..
First gluten free school lunch:
2 boiled eggs
sliced cuc's
carrot sticks
mozzarella cheese
rolled gf ham slices
1 tablespoon gf organic ranch dressing
*not pictured is her water bottle*
Luckily Veda loves a variety of food and loves being the girl with the strange lunch.
Day 2:
Veda said she was still hungry after the last lunch so today I added more (growing kid!).
1 Lara bar
celery sticks
carrot sticks
1 tablespoon gf organic ranch dressing
rolled gf turkey and ham slices
mozzarella cheese
popcorn
*bottle of ice water not pictured*
Day 3:
2 boiled eggs
carrot sticks
sliced apples
(submerge the slices in cold lightly salted water, it keeps them from browning)
side of peanut butter
gf pretzels
*bottle of ice water not pictured*
Day 4:
ham sandwich on Udi's gf bread
gf pretzels (usually eaten as a snack in class)
sliced apples
celery sticks
peanut butter
*bottle of ice water not pictured*
Day 5:
I know what you're thinking..more boiled eggs? Well, my kid LOVES them, so it's all good.
2 boiled eggs lightly salted
organic apple sauce
sliced cuc's
mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon gf organic ranch dressing
gf pretzels for her class snack
*bottle of ice water not pictured*
Day 6:
popcorn
rolled gf ham slices
cheddar cheese sticks
red bell pepper slices
cantaloupe
*bottle of ice water not pictured*
Day 7:
Today Veda asked for crunchy snacks to snack on while they take their state tests. Thus, the extra food.
organic applesauce
gf crackers
ham sandwich on Udi's gf bread
blueberries
green olives (we call them frog eyes)
carrot sticks
*bottle of ice water not pictured*
Day 8:
Again, extra food because she had state testing and wanted extra snacks.
yogurt
carrot sticks
hummus
grapes
cheddar cheese sticks
rolled gf ham slices
gf crackers
*bottle of ice water not pictured*
Veda's cute little lunch all packed up.
To be honest, making gf lunches isn't a lot different than it was before we went gf.
The only difference is less sandwiches. Otherwise the sides and extras are pretty much the same. I always make sure to keep it mostly veggies, fruits, and healthy items. Veda has an awesome teacher this year who has a "no junk food" policy. She doesn't allow the kids to eat it in the classroom and discourages it being brought to school. Much better than some teachers we've had in the past that pass out cookies for snacks..seriously?
I hope this was a little bit of inspiration, that gf lunches can be fun! Veda feels like she has her own custom "lunchable" every day.
