Keto Lunchbox Ideas for Back to School
Simple Keto Lunch Ideas:
We love using Bento Boxes to create easy meals for kids to eat at school. You can do the same for yourself, just add larger portions. For the kids, I prefer using the Bentology Bento Lunchboxes. They are just the right size and come in tons of colors. Mix and match foods listed below in small portions to go together for a fun bite-sized Bento lunchbox.
- Luncheon meats, salami, pepperoni, or similar items like beef jerky or beef sticks
- Hard cheese cubes like cheddar, Havarti, or similar
- Blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries
- Ranch dressing with broccoli, cauliflower, or other keto friendly vegetables
- Nuts and seeds or homemade trail mix with sugar-free chocolate chips
- Pea pods, bell pepper strips, or cucumber slices
- Olives, pickles, or avocado
- Keto Egg Salad or Keto Tuna Avocado Salad
- Sugar-free keto friendly candy
Crockpot Keto Lunch Ideas:
If you work at home or happen to be a homeschooler, using the Crockpot for lunch is a great idea. You could even invest in a small slow cooker to use in the classroom or in your office for small portions of some of our favorite keto lunchbox recipes that can be made in a slow cooker.
- Crockpot Montreal Roast
- Keto Slow Cooker Turkey Stuffed Peppers
- Crockpot Salsa and Cheese Chicken
- Pork Roast – slowcooker
- Buffalo Chicken in your slow cooker

We also love creating keto lunchboxes that feature leftovers or our favorite lower carb convenience foods. Sometimes just eggs and bacon or a lettuce wrap can be a perfect option. Depending on your access to a microwave, there are a number of great ideas for back to school season while staying on track with the keto lifestyle.
