Can you believe that it’s September already? Didn’t summer just fly by? And now, here we are, buying school supplies and new clothes and packing school lunches everyday.
Packing lunches is always tricky when you have food allergies or intolerances. I know that I have a tough time figuring out what to pack for my sons sometimes – it can be difficult! One place that I love to shop for natural, allergy-friendly items is the Natural Foods Department at Kroger.
I’ve always been a loyal Kroger shopper, and when I found out that so many of my favorite allergy-friendly brands were available in the Natural Foods Department, I began to shop there even more often.
There are so many delicious nut free, dairy free, and vegan brands available at Kroger, including many products made by Silk. The Kroger Natural Foods house brand, Simple Truth, also makes lots of staples that work well for baking and making lunches.
I love that Silk makes single serving chocolate soy milk boxes – these are just the right size for packing in a lunch box. Their dairy free yogurt alternative is another delicious, protein-packed item that works well for lunch.
When I need to pack a lunch for my boys, I like to include a variety of items. Fruit, veggies, turkey, dairy free cheese, Silk dairy free yogurt alternative, and Silk chocolate soy milk are all great options for a lunch that’s tasty and filling. All of these items can be found in the Natural Foods Department at Kroger.
I also like to include something homemade, like whole grain strawberry muffins.
These mini whole grain strawberry muffins are the perfect sweet bite to include in a packed lunch. Made with whole spelt flour, fresh strawberries, and Silk Dairy Free Yogurt Alternative, these are very tender and full of strawberry flavor. Kids and adults love these!

Thank you for the compliment!
these muffins look so beautiful. i have 2 sons, too. packaging lunch for them everyday is my favorite thing. i’ll try your recipe next time and add more blueberries and strawberries. my sons need to eat so many vegetables and fruits instead of meat xD

These muffins look super yummy and moist! I love adding in fresh strawberries to baked goods because they become sweeter after baking! YUM!
WOW your variety of nut milk options puts my grocery stores in Reno to shame! So cool that you have a huge array of flavors to choose from.
Srsly digging these muffins, girl! I’ve only made strawberry muffins a couple of times and loved them so much, I don’t know why it’s been so long since I’ve made them. I’ll give your recipe a whirl next time a muffin craving hits!
