20 Nut Free Lunchbox Snacks
A nut free lunchbox is a requirement in a lot of Australian schools.
The incidence of fatal allergies has meant we need to keep kids safe. Nut-free snacks are really not that hard to do!
If you want a recipe that uses nuts, there are lots of alternatives. Sunflower seed butter or tahini can be used in place of peanut or nut butters. Dried fruit or seeds can be used where nuts are in a recipe.
Here are 20 nut free lunchbox recipes to get you inspired.

Great recipes Bren! Xxx
Thanks for the suggestions – however you should not promote tahini as an alternative – most schools are also seed free as there is a common sesame seed allergy and recently around the world there have been a couple of anaphylaxis deaths because tahini was used and these people were anaphylactic to sesame seeds
I am sure the parents would avoid tahini if their school has a seed allergy. Thanks for stopping by.
I love this post… mt son is allergic to dairy and packing lunch in a nut free zone is definitely a challenge at times when we lean toward the vegan side of the food chain… it takes thinking out side the box… & i have used this to teach my son that others are allgeric to nuts & for the sake of good health we do it with love.. i like that my son can share his lunch with no probs as he tends to do at times hiw can ge nit when i can pack it a pretty funky way!!!!
That’s awesome Sarina! So what do you normally pack? x
Thanks Sonia! After 6 months with no school I am finding the return to school lunches a sad trial! 🙂
I am going to bookmark this list and try to get back into the swing of things 🙂
Good luck!
