40LunchIdeas

Two of my kids are extremely pick kids. My oldest son is great at trying new foods but my youngest two would eat the same thing every day if I let them. I’ve come up with a list of some easy lunch ideas to make them for lunches, whether they go to a public school or are homeschooled, like my kids are.

  1. Hummus & pita (We always buy our hummus at the store)
  2. Tzatziki & pita (We buy our tzatziki too)
  3. Homemade uncrustables using this tool from Pampered Chef
  4. Almost Fat Free Fruit Dip
  5. Pumpkin Pie Dip with fruit
  6. Muffin Tin Mini Pizzas
  7. 101 Ways to Make a PB&J
  8. Pizza Roll Ups
  9. Inexpensive and MUCH healthier lunchables
  10. Sandwiches but try a different bread (wrap, pita, Hawaiian rolls, hot dog buns)
  11. One container veggies & dip  (this whole page is wonderful but I especially love how she puts the veggies & dip in step #2!
  12. Shredded BBQ Chicken Sammie
  13. Banana & Cream Cheese Sandwich

  20. Carrot Salad
  21. Soup (I have seen so many cute thermos’ out there lately!)

  25. No Bake Granola Bars
  26. Checkerboard Turkey Sandwich
  27. Guacamole & chips/veggies
  28. Lemon Meringue Drops
  29. Whole Grain Gingersnaps
  30. Salad (any veggies, meat, cheese, raisins, croutons)
  31. Homemade Fruit Leather
