Does the lunch hour ridicule you? Does it stand out its tongue and attempt you to surpass PB&J sandwiches? No worry, brave one, this post is for you! Here’s what I’ll be loading this year for my kids weekly homeschool meet-ups and other trips this academic year.
Luncheon Meat & & Beyond

- Grain-free chicken nuggets ( imagined above) with homemade barbeque sauce, catsup, cattle ranch dressing or honey mustard
- Bacon and egg cups

- Easy apple sandwiches with chicken & & bacon (imagined listed below)
- Hard-boiled eggs
- Egg muffins with cheese– These muffins just take 10 minutes of hands-on prep time. I normally make them as an on-the-go breakfast, however they’re an excellent lunch choice, too.
- For sandwiches, this paleo bread dish works magnificently
Quick & & Easy Options

- Grass-Fed Beef, Habanero & & Cherry IMPRESSIVE Bar
- Wild Salmon & & Smoked Maple IMPRESSIVE Bar
- Grass-Fed Venison, Sea salt & & Pepper IMPRESSIVE Bar
- Grass-Fed Lamb, Currant & & Mint IMPRESSIVE Bar

Leftovers that make great lunches

Covers

Vegetable Sides

Pre-Made Choices

- Sea Snax– It’s a sea veggie, so it absolutely counts. Seaweed is an excellent alternative to chips, and it’s abundant in minerals such as iodine, calcium, salt, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, copper and selenium.Unfortunately most seaweed treats are made with canola or safflower oil. Safflower I do not have a huge issue with, however business typically change in between the 2 depending upon what’s most affordable so you never ever understand what you’re going to get. Luckily, I just recently found these mineral abundant from Sea Snax that utilize olive oil rather. (Likewise, they check radiation and the last time I contacted them there were no noticeable levels.)
