10 Dairy Free Lunchbox Ideas
Packing a dairy free lunchbox every day gets repetitive fast. And if your child's school or early childhood centre is nut free, a lot of vegan cheeses are off the list too. Nudairy's cheese is free from dairy, nuts, soy and gluten, so it works for both. Here are ten easy ideas.
Cheese and crackers: cubes of Tasty or Cheddar block with crackers and apple slices
Classic cheese sandwich: Cheddar slices with lettuce and tomato or relish
Scroll or pinwheel wraps: a wrap spread with Cream Cheese, topped with grated carrot and spinach, rolled up tight and sliced
Mini pizzas: English muffins or pita with tomato paste and Mozzarella, grilled the night before and served cold
Cheese scones: baked on Sunday with grated Cheddar and frozen for the week
Bagel bites: mini bagels with Cream Cheese and cucumber
Pasta salad: cold pasta, cherry tomatoes, olives and cubes of Feta
Dip pot: Sour Cream mixed with a pinch of onion or ranch seasoning, with carrot and capsicum sticks
Quesadilla triangles: a tortilla with Cheddar Shreds and beans, toasted and cut into triangles
Cheese muffins: savoury muffins with Cheddar, corn and spinach
Packing tips
Pack cheese with a small ice pack, especially in summer, and keep it in the fridge until you leave
Cut cheese into cubes or sticks. Kids eat more when it's easy to pick up
Bake a batch of scones or muffins at the weekend and freeze them. They thaw by lunchtime
