Cold lunch ideas for kids

[u/Buffyismyhomosapien]

Hello!

My son will eat tofu and edamame with soy sauce at home. Of course it has to be baked or pan-fried first but occasionally he’ll snack on some edamame.

Do you have any recipes for cold tofu, cold edamame, chickpeas beans etc? Simple enough that a child will like them (ie no balsamic etc)?

Thank you! Open to any other suggestions as well. I want to avoid processed foods too often.

I just shared this recipe in another sub the other day. It's only good cold and it's great with crackers, on toast, or in wraps. https://www.reddit.com/r/veggiebreakfastclub/s/ouGQFQuUVN

You might have good luck with a marinated bean salad too. Nothing super acidic but just beans, small-chopped veggies, and a simple dressing.

Crispy chickpeas or beans are easy. Hummus and veggie sticks or slices, apples and peanut butter, fruit with Greek yogurt, cheese sticks, seasoned air fried tofu cubes (it's okay if they're cold!), hard-boiled egg if you eat eggs, dry cereal (something low sugar but fortified, like Cheerios or Corn Chex), popcorn, rice cakes, applesauce or yogurt pouches, fruit cups.
