3 Non-Sandwich School Lunch Ideas

Don’t laugh but, one of the first things that excited me about having kids was getting to pack school lunches. Complete with an awesome lunch note written on a napkin like my mom used to do. Even with that excitement, I still got bored after the first week.

Same old sandwich, same old chips, same old quarter for milk. Well now it’s gone up to $0.50 and hopefully, that doesn’t change this year but, everything else about lunch is with these 3 Non-Sandwich School Lunch Ideas!

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Wet Ones® + Pepperidge Farm® . The opinions and text are all mine.

Non-Sandwich Lunches

I had to come up with school lunches that are not sandwiches because I have one kiddo that isn’t a fan of sandwiches. I know, how can you not love peanut butter and jelly or grilled cheese? He doesn’t. So non-sandwich school lunch ideas are what I’m packing.

3 Non-Sandwich School Lunch Ideas

#1 Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish Pretzel Crackers, Grapes, Cheese Slices, and Yogurt

My kids love grapes, pretzels, and cheese! The Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Pretzel Crackers are great for packing in lunches to make that combination happen! You can even switch up the yogurt and switch up the cheese to make this lunch different each week.

#2 Salad topped with Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Cheddar Crackers and a side of ranch dressing, and Blackberries & Raspberries

Using Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Cheddar Crackers means I don’t have to pack crackers for the sandwich and it has cheese flavor built right in! I also love how easy the bento box compartments are for keeping the dressing in!

#3 Fruit Salad with a variety of Fruit, Yogurt, and Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Vanilla Cupcake Crackers

Fruit Salad is a favorite of my kids! In addition to the fruits in the picture below, strawberries, raspberries, apples, and kiwis are favorite. This will be packed once a week and so many ways to switch it up. Tossing in the Pepperidge Farm Goldish Vanilla Cupcake Crackers always puts a smile on my kids faces too!

I learned one thing after opening up too many disgusting lunch boxes to remember last year. Pick up Wet Ones Singles at Walmart and pack them in the lunch box.

Whether their hands get messy from lunch, or their lunchbox does, trust me when I tell you that Wet Ones in the lunch box are going to be your best friend this school year. They kill 99.9% of germs, so they can enjoy their awesome lunch, and you can enjoy the lunchbox when it comes home.

Keep these Non-Sandwich Lunch Ideas handy for the school year and PIN them!
