As we go back to school, coming up with new peanut-free lunch ideas can be tricky! These 4 creative lunch box ideas can be easily prepped on a busy school morning, or use leftovers from the night before.

Cream Cheese Sandwiches

Use cream cheese or dairy-free cream cheese with cucumber, avocado, tomato, or sprouts depending on what your kids like! Or try a sweet version with cream cheese and raspberry chia jam. Serve on whole-wheat bread or bagels, or roll them into pinwheels!
