Easy and Fun Lunch Ideas For Every Day That Your Kids Will Love


If you’re stuck in a rut with making the same sandwiches for your kid’s lunchbox week after week, it’s time to mix things up! Lunch should be a fun time for your child where they are pleasantly surprised by the creative foods you’ve packed for them. There are plenty of lunch options that are just as easy to make as a PB&J and that help your child expand their palate. 


Liven up your child’s lunchbox with these delicious and nutritious recipes that will put a smile on their face. 


Of course, these recipes also work great for kids who are being homeschooled, and for parents who don’t want to cook a separate meal for themselves. For days when you don’t feel like cooking at all, you can also order school lunch delivery that will be healthier and more delicious than anything your child can buy in a cafeteria. 


Tasty Lunches To Go


Hummus, Turkey and Veggie Wrap


Healthy and guaranteed to power your child through the afternoon, this twist on a sandwich is one your child will instantly love. Spread hummus along one side of a wholegrain or grain-free wrap and top with slices of turkey and crunchy veggies. The extra protein that the chickpeas provide will keep your child from getting hungry again anytime soon.


Broccoli and Cheese Pizza Pocket


This delicious pizza pocket is made with dough and filled like a calzone with broccoli and cheese. It’s a great way to get some veggies into your child’s diet in a way that is yummy and not too strong-tasting. You can make these pockets the night before and then have your child’s teacher zap them in the microwave at school to reheat. 


Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich


A twist on egg salad, this avocado version is healthier and 100% delicious. Using avocado, hard boiled eggs, dairy free yogurt or mayo, you can whip up a batch of this and serve on your choice of bread. 


BBQ Chicken Taquitos


If you have any leftover chicken from dinner, use it to make these BBQ taquitos for your child’s lunch. With only four ingredients: shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, cheese, and tortillas, these tasty little taquitos couldn’t be simpler to make.


Pesto Tortellini


If you want a recipe that both you and your child will love for lunch, try this pesto tortellini. You can make your own pesto ahead of time and use store-bought tortellini to make this recipe super easy to throw together at the last minute. 


Healthy Dessert Ideas 


Pumpkin Cashew Granola Bars


Perfect for fall, these delicious pumpkin cashew bars will provide a sweet treat for your child without the downsides of added sugar.


Apple Zucchini Mini Muffins


With tasty and wholesome ingredients like zucchini, apples, Greek yogurt, and whole wheat flour, these mini muffins are a tasty snack for your child’s lunchbox. They also work perfectly for breakfast on the go. 


Air Fryer Cinnamon Apple Chips


Forget bags of potato chips, you can make these healthy chips using your favorite kind of crispy apples. Slice the apples really thin, toss with sugar and cinnamon and pop in the oven. Or, if you have an air fryer you can use that for speedier results.


Classic Banana Bread


Who doesn’t love classic banana bread? Sweet, moist, and easy to make, it was the official baked good of lockdown and it’s still hanging on in terms of popularity. Whenever you have a few bananas that are turning brown, bake up a batch of banana bread for the whole family to enjoy.
