Turkey Rollups:
Slices of gluten free turkey (health food stores)
String cheese (if dairy free, look for almond cheese, soy cheese, rice cheese)
Rice flour tortillas toasted (trader joes)or corn tortillas
*optional: if you kid likes asparagus I like to roll the turkey and cheese in asparagus instead of tortilla to limit the carb (this is a good one for the adults)
Apples and PB:
Sliced apples
Peanut butter (if allergic use almond butter or sunflower seed butter)
Cinnamon toast:
Cinnamon
Udi's bread (my favorite) toasted
Earth Balance butter (non dairy) or PB (or almond butter)
Raw honey (if of age),Agave Necter, or Brown Rice Syrup *these are great substitutes for sugar
Banana slices
Pretzels with PB
Glutino pretzels (mothers/ sprouts/ henry's/ whole foods)
Peanut butter (or almond butter)
Chex gluten free Cereal (now found at target)
Homemade Trail mix:
Cranberries or raisins or other berry of choice dried (no added sugar)
Blanched almonds (this helps the digestability of the almond if the skin have been removed) or Peanuts
Gluten free cereal or granola
Sunflower seeds raw
Chocolate chips (GF) or if you want to add a chocolate protein powder or stevia/ raw cacao you can add to oatmeal or yogurt (this makes it chocolatey and flavorful: they cannot resist!)
* you can always keep this on hand when out and about especially on long distances)
Smoothies
Use blender of food processor for :
Any frozen fruit of choice
( I like pineapple and strawberries)
*optional: Vegan protein powder at health food stores preferably made of chia seed and pea protein (chocolate flavor is best)
[I like Total Vegan from Numedica (online)]
1 banana
1 bunch of organic Kale or spinach (the chocolate or the fruit in it hides the vegetable greens)
Coconut water 1/2 cup
Almond or rice milk splash
PB banana shake:
chocolate chips or chocolate protein powder (GF)
1 banana
PB or any nut butter
almond milk or any milk of choice
(This smoothie is full of protein!)
*I like to add chia seeds, ground flax seed and hemp seed into my smoothies in the morning, it fills me up till lunch and I know I am getting that extra amount of Protein and Omegas.
Easy Paninis
UDi's white bread / whole grain or Fiber bread (henry's or sprouts)
Grill on a foreman grill or panini maker the 2 slices with:
Trader joe's mustard w garlic aoli (or reg mustard if dairy is a problem)
Turkey breast (gluten free) or chicken breast
Avocado
Sliced cheese (use other cheese if dairy is a problem)
Salt and pepper to taste
Tuna salad or chicken salad:
1 can wild tuna or organic chicken
1/2 ripe avocado
Chopped cucumber
Mustard
Hemp seed (1 tablespoon)
Coconut or apple cider vinegar
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
* optional gluten free bread toasted on the side for them to make a sandwich with.
** this is one of my all time favorite lunches!
Gluten free Ginger Snaps from trader joe's
Glutino pretzels
Fruit with udi's gluten free granola (may use yogurt)
Lauren's Banana Ice cream (my friend's recipe)
Frozen banana slices (put peeled sliced banana in a bag and store in the freezer for those last minute recipes) in a food processor
Add splashes almond (or any) milk gradually to help process.
You can add in whatever...
cinnamon,
cacao powder
choc chips (make sure G-F)
nut(peanut/almond/ sunflower) butter
berries
I like to Bake Alot!
So I like to try new prepackaged flours and bake cookies (you can create cookie dough and store in freezer, pull them out anytime and have quick cookies)
Trader joe's has a gluten free brownie mix, that I like to use and I add sunflower seeds, hemp seed, flax, and chia seeds to.
You can get creative and use dried fruit and nuts or choc chips.
I like to add the protein to feel less guilty about eating these tasty little morsels.
Adding bananas and cinnamon are a great way to make your brownies and cookies fluffy and less grainy from gluten free flours.
If you have egg allergies use applesauce in replacement to eggs or egg substitute.
There are so many healthy ways to turn to to get your child to eat protein packed foods without the gluten from the carb addicts.
