Scrolls are the ultimate lunchbox item! Freezer friendly, quick to make and fillable with virtually anything, you can't go past a scroll. Sweet or savoury, there are options for everyone, with one thing in common- they all freeze really well.
Sweet muffins for lunchboxes
Whether you ice them or don't muffins are perfect for the lunchbox, they freeze well, come in so many flavours and are great for little hands to grab and eat! Great for a lunchbox treat, some even contain no added sugar.
Cakes and loaves
Baking a cake or loaf means that you can slice it up and freeze the pieces, perfect for school lunches! Just defrost in the lunchbox.
Savoury muffins
Just like their sweet counterparts, savoury muffins freeze well, are easy to pack and perfect for lunchboxes. They are also great for kids who like to eat quickly so they can play faster! Use them to replace a sandwich.
Slices
Slices are great for the lunchbox, just chop into the right size pieces and freeze. Then pop in the lunchbox in the morning!
Fritters
Fritters are the perfect way to pack loads of veggies in! They freeze so well and can be used in so many different ways- pop them in straight, put them in a wrap or sandwich or serve them as a dinner side.

Quiches and frittatas
Put simply, quiches and frittatas are perfect for the lunchbox. They allow you to pop virtually anything in them- and they freeze well.
Bliss balls
The ultimate in quick prep, bliss balls are great for the lunchbox, sweet enough to keep the kids happy, but small enough to be one bite! They freeze so well, I've always got the freezer stocked with them.
Pizza
Cold pizza is my kids favourite and there is nothing better than opening up your lunchbox and finding a favourite food!
Cookies and biscuits
Cookies and biscuits are great in the lunchbox, so why not bake and freeze some to grab them in the morning and put straight into the lunchbox?
Breads and flatbreads
Pikelets
Pikelets aren't just perfect for breakfast, they freeze well and are great in the lunchbox.
Pastries
Sausage rolls, pasties and pastries work well in the lunchbox! Make them in advance for grab and go.
No bake slices and treats
What's not to love about no bake treats and slices? Freeze in bite size for special lunchbox treats.
Whatever recipe you choose, you'll find something awesome that will help you get ready for school lunches.
Generally speaking I freeze them on a tray until solid and then transfer to a bag or container.
Up to three months when they are in an airtight container.
Simple! Put them in the lunchbox. They will be ready and defrosted by lunchtime.
Label the snacks! With the name of the recipe and the date. We have previously had massaman beef spaghetti due to my poor labelling.
With a good quality cooler bag and some ice bricks. We like the arctic zone ones from Mini Hippo.

I know this is a couple years old, but I am very new to meal planning. I'm hoping to use some of these for after daycare snacks. How would you recommend defrosting? Microwave on a defrost setting and just checking on them in 30 sec increments?

Which snack are you referring too? They mostly all have their own defrost/ reheat instructions! thanks!
