I often get asked what on earth I feed my paleo kids since we don’t eat bread on a paleo diet?
My 4 year old and nearly 3 year old go to co-op preschool for 3 hours a week.
I will share as many of these lunches as I can in hopes it will help give you some ideas if you’re stumped on what to pack.
These are the lunchboxes we use and love. We’ve had them for several years and try as they might neither the kids nor the dogs seem to be able to destroy them. Worth every penny. If you’re looking for something more affordable but still want to stick with stainless steel, these look like a great option as well!
Today’s kid-friendly paleo lunch is tuna salad, grapefruit, coconut chips and pistachios.
This is the wild caught tuna we love.
To drink the kids always have water. We like to use these water bottles which are BPA free and easy for them to flip open on their own.
Also, the utensils we use can be purchased here.

What’s in the tuna salad besides tuna? We add avocado (instead of mayo), Farmhouse Culture Ginger Beet Kraut, sweet relish (still looking for a good one), and Raspberry Honey Mustard (http://www.robertrothschild.com/product/product-details.aspx?prodid=223&name=Raspberry+Honey+Mustard).
Hi Emily,
Those are great ideas! We add whatever we’ve got on hand. Sometimes some mustard, sometimes some homemade mayo- I’ll have to put up the recipe for that. It’s very similar to this: https://hollywoodhomestead.com/homemade-paleo-baconnaise/
