These gluten-free lunches are the perfect option for school or work lunches on the go! Everything from chili, to sandwiches, and more, these lunches are GF and many are paleo and AIP.

 

Gluten-Free Lunches on the Go

Lunches on the go can be a challenge when you’re gluten-free, paleo, or AIP. The default of just grabbing a sandwich and calling it a day can be harder, and honestly, just boring! These gluten-free lunch ideas are perfect for mixing it up, adding nutrients, and taking to school or work.

What You’ll Need… 

Food storage

Reheating Lunches

Not all of these lunches require reheating, but here are some options for those that do…

  • Desk crockpot. This was my go-to when I worked in an office! It doesn’t cook food, rather, it reheats at a low temperature as to not overcook it. It’s perfect for soups, but I used to use it to reheat meatballs or chicken with a sauce and vegetables as well.
  • Hot logic oven. This is another great option for reheating lunches!
