14 Gluten-Free School Lunch Ideas

14 Gluten-Free School Lunch Ideas

Making your kids' lunches interesting, delicious and especially healthy can sometimes be a challenge.

We often get questions from parents about healthy options for kids and how to ensure they're getting a range of nutrients to support overall health, gut health, digestion and energy.

As a guide, we always try to include a good source of protein—leftovers are great for this, plus seasonal vegetables and fruit.

To make things easier, the BePure team have put together a list of gluten-free ideas for you.


14 Gluten-Free School Lunch Ideas


1. Roasted Veggies


Check the roasting times per veggie, as they may differ. When they are done, pour some lemon juice over them and a dab of gluten-free pesto.


2. Homemade Wraps


Check out our BePure Easy Egg Wrap recipe and filling suggestions.


3. Burrito Bowl


Basically, everything you could put in a burrito wrap, but without the wrap. Brown rice, beans, capsicum, avocado, tomato salsa, and corn. If your kids go well on dairy, you can put some cottage cheese on top.

4. Good-quality Gluten-Free Wraps


You can use all the leftovers in your fridge to fill a wrap. Think shredded chicken, lettuce, cucumber, cheese and hummus.


5. Homemade Sushi


Fill with salmon, avocado, and cucumber. Yum! Nori (seaweed) is a great source of iodine, too.


6. Gluten-Free Pasta Salads


The possibilities are endless. How about chicken or canned tuna, basil, broccoli, pumpkin, and mayo?

7. Omelette


Another one of those dishes where you can throw in almost everything. Serve it with a green salad with cucumber and an orange and parsley dressing.

8. Stuffed Kumara

Try this with quinoa and veggies and they will have energy for the whole day.

9. Salad


Again, there are many combinations that work well. One of our favourites basic combos is chicken, hummus, carrots and cheese.


10. Bacon and Egg Muffins


It’s very easy and a guaranteed success! Put bacon strips in a muffin tin, crack an egg in it and bake it for 30 minutes on 180ºC or until cooked through. Or check out the BePure Breakfast Baskets Recipe.


11. Frittata or Savoury Soufflé


There are many recipes for a delicious frittata. Try one with mint, peas and feta.


12. Quiche


You can make a quiche with gluten-free pastry, the kumara and spinach combo is really nice.


13. Red or Green Slaw


These last well throughout the week, and are great as a side salad to accompany leftover meat. Try out red slaw recipe and the green slaw salad recipe


14. Rice Paper Rolls


These delicious colourful rolls will brighten up your kids day!
