Suggest an easy gf/df packed lunch please?

[SamanthaCarter]

This is for my BIL on Sunday. We have to go from church to concert and eat in-between. Usually for this I make little meat filled bierocks (I find this easier than packing everybody a custom sandwich *eyeroll*), chips and veggies, but he can't have the buns.

Gluten free bread with gf/did lunchmeat or tuna. Peanut butter and jelly on gf bread. Chicken salad on gf bread.

I make the above as sandwiches for the kids, then pack bell pepper slices for myself and dip into the leftover filling (tuna/chicken) or wrap lunchmeat around the slices.

These are easy for us to find locally and make a great wrapper for trying. Maybe you can make him some egg rolls with the filling?

My dh is gluten free, but we're not strict as a family, so we're not great about cross-contamination, etc.  

 

I pack a lot of hummus.  :)  Hummus and rice cakes, celery, carrots is a normal thing.  Pimento cheese works, too.  Meat, cheese, and rice or nut crackers to make a lunchable.  Peanut butter on rice cakes works, too.

Soup or chili in a thermos

 humus, tortilla chips and/or rice crackers, grapes or cut up fruit, boiled eggs (or egg salad instead of humus), veggie stick and peanut butter.

1. Romaine lettuce leaves to wrap around the lunch meat. Sliced apples, baby carrots, and celery sticks with a peanut butter and honey mix dipping sauce. Lay's type chips

 

2. Chef salad (diced ham or turkey, boiled eggs, diced tomatoes, shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers) with simple homemade dressing (such as EVOO, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic powder, basil). If you have GF bread, you can easily make GF croutons by cubing the bread, mixing in olive oil and seasonings, and bake a short time.

Wrap anything gf df you would serve in a lettuce leaf. I often pack sliced avocado wrapped in ham slathered with mustard in an iceberg lettuce leaf for packed lunches. Several of the. Lots of ham if I am particularly hungry.

Could you do the same meat/filling for him with cornbread or rice cakes on the side?  

[Cecropia]

Trail mix made with nuts, dried fruit, gf cereal or granola, and mini marshmallows.

I don't know because I usually go super simple for myself, but I just want to mention that often gf/df foods don't have a lot of fat.  If I'm not paying attention to that, I can get pretty hungry.  A regular sandwich is going to have cheese, or oil or something that bumps up the fat.  Well, and when you take away bread and cheese (or other dairy), you've lost a lot of calories.  A sandwich on a lettuce leaf, minus cheese, is WAY fewer calories than one on bread with cheese.

I make a nice salad with meat on it every workday for dh.

I'd just do finger foods. Selection of raw veggies with dip. Hummus and rice crackers or rice cake. Pepperoni stick and some cheese. A piece of fruit.
