Peanut Butter & Jelly Roll-Ups Lunchbox

If your kids could eat PB & J every day, why not switch it up for these peanut butter & jelly roll-ups? It’s a fun idea and made with the same ingredients, just packed in a different way. 

I like to serve this lunch with Greek yogurt for additional protein and my homemade fruit leather, but you could exchange those snacks for other healthy options like hard-boiled eggs, deli turkey, or a few energy bites. 

What is in Peanut Butter & Jelly Roll-Ups

This peanut butter & jelly roll-up lunchbox is made with a variety of simple and fresh ingredients. Here’s what you need: 

• Bread: white or whole wheat works great!
• Peanut butter: or use a nut-free peanut butter substitute. 
• Jelly: strawberry, raspberry, apple- any flavor you like! 
• Yogurt: vanilla Greek yogurt is a great source of protein. 
• Snacks: this lunch is packed with fruit leather and mixed berries, but swap them out for whatever you have on hand.

How to pack Peanut Butter & Jelly Roll-Ups for Lunch

Gather your ingredients and let’s make these roll-ups happen: 

1. Prep the bread
   Remove the crusts from the bread and flatten each slice with a rolling pin or large glass. 
2. Roll it up
   Spread the peanut butter and jelly onto the bread slices and roll them tightly. Cut each roll into 1-inch rounds. 
3. Pack
   Place the PB & J roll-ups into a compartmentalized lunch container. Add the yogurt, berries, and fruit leather to the empty compartments. *if needed, pack the yogurt in a thermos container to ensure it stays cool and doesn’t spill into the roll-ups. 
4. Prepare for Transport
   Place the lunch and thermos container into a lunch bag with an icepack, or refrigerate overnight. 

Compartmentalized lunch containers make it possible to pack wet and dry ingredients into one lunch. Check out my favorite options in this post.
