Children’s lunches can quickly become complicated with certain foods that should be avoided because of allergies, especially nut and peanut allergies. So, we’re lending a helping hand by sharing 5 nut-and-peanut-free snacks. These snack ideas will please their taste buds and make your life a little easier!
Obviously, fruits and vegetables fit easily into the “nut-and-peanut-free” category. However, there are other ideas that offer a variety of textures and flavours.
Of course, you don’t have to have children or allergies to enjoy these healthy and delicious snacks!

Your kids will feel like they’re eating BBQ chips at snack time, but our version tastes much better and is WAY more nutritious 😉
