1. Lumi Bites Stars
Soft, chewy, and made from tiger nuts (not actually nuts!). Our Birthday Cake, Churro, and S’mores flavors are naturally sweet and packed with prebiotic fiber for steady energy — no sugar crash here.
2. Apple “Cookies” with Sunflower Butter
Slice apples crosswise into rings, spread sunflower butter on top, and sprinkle with granola or coconut flakes for a crunchy treat.
3. Mini Rice Cake Sandwiches
Layer rice cakes with cream cheese and strawberry slices for a fun, nut-free take on PB & J.
4. DIY Snack Mix
Mix tiger nuts, pretzels, dried fruit, and mini chocolate chips in a small container — sweet, salty, and school-safe.
5. Cucumber & Cheese Roll-Ups
Thinly slice cucumbers and wrap around string cheese or turkey slices for a fresh protein boost.
6. Oatmeal Energy Balls (No Nuts!)
Blend oats, dates, coconut oil, and a dash of cinnamon. Roll into small balls for bite-size snack energy.
7. Popcorn Trail Mix
Toss air-popped popcorn with freeze-dried fruit and pumpkin seeds for a crunchy classroom-safe snack.
8. Yogurt Parfait Jars
Layer Greek yogurt, granola (closed facility nut-free), and fruit in a mini jar. Kids love the “dessert” vibe mid-day.
9. Veggie Straws & Hummus Cups
A classic crunch combo that’s colorful and easy to pack. Try carrot sticks or snap peas for extra fiber.
10. Mini Muffins with Hidden Veggies
Bake a batch on Sunday with oats, banana, and shredded zucchini — they freeze beautifully and make great grab-and-go additions.
