Lunchbox Ideas: 3 Ways to Create an Allergy Friendly Lunchbox with Enjoy Life Foods

It's back to school season + that means it's time to start packing the lunch boxes again. It can be easy to get in a lunchbox rut. But, Enjoy Life Foods has new Chewy Bar flavors that can spice up any lunchbox. I'm sharing 3 ways to create an allergy friendly lunchbox with Enjoy Life Foods. 

These 3 lunch boxes are kid-approved, contain healthy foods + are easy to prepare. Each lunchbox contains a new Enjoy Life Foods Chewy Bar. They are each tasty + a great addition to any lunch. The perfect grab + go bar for a lunchbox that helps to put more into the lunch for the kids + takes a little off of mom's plate!

My family lives with food allergies, so we are very familiar with the Enjoy Life Foods brand. We trust them + rely on them. However, many schools, preschools or nurseries may have an allergen policy or may be peanut-free or tree nut-free. I realize that finding free-from food may feel overwhelming + confusing for a non-allergy parent. The Enjoy Life Foods bakery is certified gluten-free + a dedicated nut-free facility. All of the products are free from the eight most common allergens: peanut, tree nuts, wheat, soy, eggs, dairy, fish + shellfish. Plus, Enjoy Life goes above + beyond to keep some other allergenic foods out of the products like: sesame, sulfites, casein + potato. So, if you are ever looking for an allergy friendly snack, Enjoy Life has many options for you!

The new Enjoy Life Foods Chewy Bars: 

• are 15% bigger than the original 4 flavors.

• are Vegan (in addition to following the brand promise of gluten-free, top 8 free, Non-GMO, Kosher, Halal, and made with no artificial ingredients)

• Feature the new Pure Life Balanced Dry Blend™ flour, which is made from sunflower kernels, cassava flour, sorghum flour and quinoa flakes.

• Feature real inclusions such as

  • Caramel Blondie - Dairy–Free Caramel Bits and ELF Mini Chips

  • Carrot Cake – shredded carrots, raisins, pumpkin seeds
