40 Days of Gluten Free School Lunches

August 29, 2013 by Jackie Ritz 62 Comments

It’s about that time again! School is starting, or has started for a lot of you. Sending healthy gluten free school lunches with your child is COMPLETELY possible. Let me show you 40 photos of my kid’s healthy gluten free school lunches that I have collected! I guess I should disclose that my family is not 100% Paleo…you will see a few things that fall in our 20% non-Paleo, like dairy, Nut Thins, and some rice. However we do try to stay completely gluten-free. I hope you get some ideas and enjoy packing healthy gluten-free school lunches for your kids!
