    Sandwich Sushi Bento Box Lunch with Broccoli Salad and Cinnamon Apples

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on September 5, 2018 Dairy-Free Recipes, Entrees, Kids Can Cook

    This Sandwich Sushi Bento Box Lunch is four easy recipes in one! Back to school means it’s back to being busy before, during and after school. Not to mention the challenges of food allergies and special diets. Luckily you can ease the morning mayhem, and make their days a little brighter, by incorporating some simple ideas.

    • Notes can comfort little ones at school, but you might not always have time to write one. I love these Little Lunch Box Notes, which have cute graphics and messages.
    • Look for fresh, make-ahead options your kids will enjoy. The “sushi” rolls in this recipe offer fish-free fun, and because the bread is flattened in advance, you don’t have to worry about smooshed sandwiches. Plus, it’s something you can take for lunch too.
    • Salads, like the ones below, made with hearty vegetables and grains are also great make ahead options. They keep better than leafy greans.
    • Bento boxes make lunchtime more interesting, allowing kids to pick and choose what they eat next. It also avoids the dreaded “food touching” scenario. BentGo Kids Lunch Boxes are cute and very popular.

    Special Diet Notes: Sandwich Sushi Bento Box Lunch

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, optionally gluten-free, and peanut-free.

    For a nut-free bento box lunch, substitute sunflower seeds for the almonds or omit them, and choose nut-free bread.

    For a soy-free bento box lunch, omit the soy sauce but add salt, to taste. And choose soy-free bread.
