You’ve got enough to juggle without having to figure out lunch too. I’ve been there, and I’ve done all the stressing and figuring it out so you don’t have to. I have packed literally thousands of lunches for school, I’ve tried it all, and I’ve got loads of basic lunch ideas that are going to be really doable for you and your kids are going to love.

If you're anything like me - or your kids are anything like my kids - sandwiches get boring really fast! We're ok with sandwiches once or twice a week, but any more than that and the kids don't want to eat them, and I get bored of making them.

This page is filled with dozens of lunches I have packed without sandwiches. These aren’t staged ideas of lunches - these are the actual lunches I pack for my kids.

If you’ve just found this page and are just getting started, you might want to check out this post too - this one has my top five ideas for non-sandwich lunches. You could just use these five ideas on repeat every week and you’d be all set. But keep scrolling if you want to see dozens of the actual non sandwich lunches I have packed for my kids.

You can find them and a lot of my other favorite lunch packing products here on my Amazon Storefront (I earn a small commission when you purchase).

Ok now on the all the non sandwich lunch ideas you came here for.

No sandwich lunches are my favorite kinds of lunches to make. 

They are just a little more fun to make than the standard sandwiches, and if you’re going to be doing this every day for the forseable future, you might as well have a little fun.
