I need to send lunch and snacks for my kids who are 3 and 5. The 3 year old has nut allergies and eats two snacks and lunch, plus possibly breakfast, at school. The 5 year old doesn't have allergies and her school allows nuts, but we keep a nut-free home anyway. She needs a lunch plus a snack which must be non-perishable at this point due to logistics.
So far, I've made them cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches, tofurky roll-ups with cheddar chunks, cucumber slices, plain chickpeas, grape tomatoes, lots of fresh fruit, apple slices with sunbutter dip, crackers, mini-muffins, pretzels, veggie straws, etc.
Does anyone have other suggestions? Also, DD's snack at this point needs to be non-perishable b/c they all take out their snack and put into into a bin for later on. I suppose I could send something like yogurt, but I would need to send in a second lunchbag and her first one, which is a large PlanetBox (very cool, though pricey!), already takes up all the room in her bag, esp. when I send in a water thermos.
