50 Freezer Friendly Lunchbox Snacks

Providing new, exciting and nutritious lunchbox snacks that your kids will love is always a challenge. We recently asked our fabulous One Handed Cooks community on Facebook for inspiration << join us today.

“What are your favourite freezer friendly lunchbox snacks for the kids?“

We’ve compiled a list an ever-helpful list of nutritious lunchbox snacks that are suitable for the freezer to save you time (and money) in the ‘get to school in time’ rush. 

Don’t forget to read our travelling lunchbox posts on food safety and nutrition as well as our safe food and preparation guide and freezing and defrosting guide.

A note on nuts: some of these recipes include nuts. Please remember to observe all safe allergy precautions and school regulations when including nuts. Or, try substituting with other ingredients such as seeds, dried fruit, oats or shredded coconut depending on the recipe.
