It can be a challenge to come up with healthy lunch and snack options as kids head back to school. We thought we’d put a few ideas forward in hopes of making the task a bit easier. There are 5 suggestions on our list;

• FreeYum Cookies – These are soft baked cookies and are dairy free, nut free and gluten free. They come in 154 gram packages, 7 cookies per package. Flavours include Banana Maple, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip and Double Chocolate.

• Patience SourCran Dried Cranberries – The goodness of cranberries is available in kid favourite flavours including strawberry and peach options. They come in individual serving packages.

• NoochPOP – Individual bags- A plant based cheesy popcorn NoochPOP is a love letter to nutritional yeast. A savoury, creamy key ingredient that gives a yummy cheesy flavour, yet remains dairy free. There are 5 savoury flavours including; Kinda Nacho & Cheesy, Kinda Cheesy, Kinda Chile Lime & Cheesy, Kinda Garlic & Cheesy, and Kinda Sweet & Savoury.

• Justin’s Peanut Butter Cups – Choose from Dark Chocolate Cashew Butter Cups or Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. Each 40 gram package contains two cups and the product is certified organic. Check on school rules in your location regarding products with nuts.
