*GRAIN FREE* I need snack and lunch ideas

[ValiantJoy07]

Snacks have been and currently are carrot sticks, apple slices, with PB or a smoothie. Some times coconut cookies or Paleo muffins of some sort.

Lunches have been pumpkin or banana pancakes
Sweet potato fries
French fries with scrambled eggs or mini hamburgers

Got anything else?

Salmon patties are easy for lunch and you can take them with you if you don't mind them cold. http://gapsdietjourney.com/2012/01/r...almon-patties/

We do salads often for lunch, and meatballs, leftovers. Dh doesn't like chicken fried "rice" so I make that for lunch (the rice is cauliflower).

The kids like avocado for snack. It's messy but filling. Pickles are another favorite as well as bananas, apples and carrots. They also like raisins, coconut flakes and sea salt mixed together (sometimes I add cocoa nibs).

Ooh making a trail mix with the coconut. dd2 devoured half a bag of the giant flaked coconut the other day. Mixing it with some thing... specifically some protein would help.

a paleo blogger did a series on paleo lunches last year that i thought looked -awesome-: http://nomnompaleo.com/post/30267255...es-part-1-of-5

we do homemade larabars, dried fruit (DS especially likes dried bananas and raisins), cheese, and pickles for snacks.

These fudge balls are MY favorite snack.
The kids love peanut butter dip with their apples - PB, honey, olive oil. Also beef jerky or Slim Jim types of beef sticks. I'm sure there are healthier versions; we just get the ones from the deli.
I saw a recipe similar to this on Disney Jr the other night, and it looked cute - and yummy! Cucumber hummus cupcakes.

Not sure if you do dairy and beans but chickpea and quinoa pilaf with herbs and parmesan is a yummy lunch. I like mine with spinach and cherry tomatoes and balsamic vinagrette.

Recipe from Spunky coconut blog for eggplant or chicken "breaded" with almond meal

You can make "pasta" out of summer squash and carrots id you have a julienne peeler.

My kids eat...
Lentil vegetable soup
veggies and hummus
Apples with this dip... http://www.nourishingmeals.com/2010/...pples.html?m=1
Carrot fries
Snacks: sugar snap peas, cucumbers, pickles, raisins, plantain chips from Trader Joe's, seaweed snacks/sheets of nori, "ants on a log" (celery sticks filled with peanut butter and topped with raisins), green smoothie popsicles, frozen yogurt popsicles, dried figs, applesauce with frozen blueberries and cinnamon, bell pepper strips and guacamole, balsamic oven roasted green beans, oven roasted chickpeas.

Do you eat lunch at home or does it need to be portable? Do y'all eat potatoes?
