Keep your kids happy with these 10 gluten free lunchbox treats! They won't feel left out and may even have the best treats in the lunchroom 😊

back to school gluten free lunchbox treats

We might be one of the only areas in America whose kids don't go back to school until after Labor Day, so we're still in summertime mode around here. Kids are enjoying their last few weeks before school starts again, but I know parents are probably wishing these days would go by faster than ever!

My kids are both out of school and in charge of their own lives (for the most part) so it's been a while since I've been in the school lunch days. Most of these 10 lunchbox treats found their way into my kids' lunchboxes way back when, and they loved every one of them!!

10 GLUTEN FREE LUNCHBOX TREATS

GLUTEN FREE LEMON BARS
