It taste similar, and it's handy to have when eating out in public. Just let the family know in advance to not be concerned.</p> <p>My kids have a peanut and tree nut allergy, and I cringe when I see other families eating a peanut butter sandwich. Peanut butter is generally sticky, and I don't trust kids with their hands. Sure, it would be nice if everyone washed their hands thoroughly, but that's not always the case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-friendly-picnic-ideas#post-2569420 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 08:44:44 +0000 regberadaisy 2569420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pasta salad with some chicken! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-friendly-picnic-ideas#post-2569173 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 18:01:18 +0000 gingerbebe 2569173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kiddie sushi - spread tortilla with hummus, fill with strips of veggies and lunch meat and cheese, roll up and cut into slices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-friendly-picnic-ideas#post-2569162 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 17:43:51 +0000 jmarionsmith 2569162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It may be too late to run out and get these, but the Pea B &amp; Jelly uncrustables by Annies (I found them at Target) are GOOD!

Just pack with ice packs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-friendly-picnic-ideas#post-2569111 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 15:44:24 +0000 PinkElephant 2569111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like @yoursilverlining: , my kids accept Sunbutter as peanut butter in nut-free situations.</p> <p>I'd pack bento-style...cheese cubes, pepperoni, crackers, some cut fruit, carrot sticks, hummus....and plenty of snacks, like you already mentioned. I doubt the kids will mind the repeats of a few of the items (if they have them for lunch and again for snack). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-friendly-picnic-ideas#post-2569054 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 14:39:44 +0000 whiskers 2569054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hard boiled egg? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-friendly-picnic-ideas#post-2569049 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 14:36:13 +0000 yoursilverlining 2569049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're still keen on PB&amp;J you could do sunbutter &amp; jelly. </p> <p>LO and I went on a picnic a few weekends ago and I brought rolls and chicken salad, which was delicious and easy and something LO will actually eat.

I've been eating that for lunch this summer and it is so delicious. I put red peppers in mine. Are you taking a refrigerated lunch box? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-friendly-picnic-ideas#post-2569038 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 14:25:51 +0000 mediagirl 2569038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to the zoo tomorrow with some friends who's daughter is allergic to all nuts. We were going to take peanut butter sandwiches as our meal...that's out. What protein or main course would you take for your picnic meal? We are taking fruit, chips, cheese and cookies as the other parts of the meal. This meal is just for us, they are bringing their own food because her allergies are so bad, cross-contamination is a problem. It just can't have nuts in it. </p>
