10 Sandwich Free Lunch Box Ideas + Video
Before I get to the sandwich free lunch box ideas, I wanted to share some of my favourite Bento inspired accessories:
At the moment I’m regularly using (and loving) my easy lunch boxes. They are the perfect size for a kid or adult lunch and are broken up into perfectly sized compartments. The Bento accessories I’ve included above are:
- Shaped Cutters – which can be used to cut fruit, veggies or pancakes into fun shapes.
- Food picks – perfect for picking up lunch box items while also being great for fine motor skills.
- Shaped cups – for sauce.
- Round cups – for holding lunch box items.
- Egg mold – to shape hard boiled eggs.
So, why would you want to prepare sandwich free lunch box ideas? You may NEED to prepare them for allergy reasons or if you’re following the Paleo Diet or The GAPS Diet, or you may be like me and like to balance out a diet full of bread and flour based products with a sandwich free lunch box from time to time. Either way, you’ll find heaps of inspiration in this post!
