15 of The Best Nut Free Lunch Box Fillers!

September 3, 2018 by Bianca Carey Spencer, Updated April 9, 2021

15 Delicious Nut-Free Snacks That You Can Pack Into School Lunches!

Roundup of Nut-Free Snacks for Kids

If you are a regular reader of the blog, you may have recently seen my post on Non Sandwich Lunchbox Ideas so you will know that I’ve been working on lots of lunchbox inspiration as the kids go back to school this week.

But as well as healthy and filling lunches, I know lots of parents are also looking for snack ideas to send to school or to bulk out their child’s lunch.

Buying snacks for kids can be really expensive but you can make your own at home for a fraction of the price.

Most of these can also be made in bulk and will keep for several days. Some can even be frozen too.

Because most schools and nurseries now have a completely nut-free food policy, I’ve only listed recipes which are free from nuts and nut butter.

Here are my top 15 Nut Free Lunchbox Fillers that I hope might come in handy for everyone sending packed lunches and snacks to school for their kids!
