PB&J is the quintessential picky-eater-pleasing lunch. But it’s an option that’s off the table for so many schoolkids, either because they or a classmate have allergies, or because their school’s established an across-the-board peanut-free policy to play it safe. Before you tear your hair out stressing over what you can possibly come up with to feed Mr. I-Only-Eat-Skippy, see what our panel of finicky kids had to say about some alternative options they taste-tested. The good news: All of them found at least one they liked. Maybe there’s a winner in the bunch for your kid, too.
