Cub Scout day camp - What's nut free and lasts in the heat?

[AustinMama_Whole30]

I am volunteering at Cub Scout camp this week, Tuesday through Thursday. We'll be out in the Texas sun all day and cannot have nuts. Any suggestions for snacks/lunch that'll last in the heat and does not have nuts? Naturally, since nuts are not allowed, everything that comes to my mind has nuts in it!

 

Thanks!

Canned meats, olives and if you have a decent cooler, veggies. But that's all I can think of right now

Jerky or Epic bars. If you have a cooler, you can do leftovers or hard boiled eggs. Whole avocados might do okay, just cut it up right before you eat it.

Here's what I ended up doing, in case anyone is in a similar situation. We had to put our lunches in a gallon sized Ziploc with a frozen bottle of water. Then they put everyone's gallon sized lunch bag, put them in a black garbage bag for each group, and put them all in an ice machine, which functioned as a refrigerator.

 

So for my own lunch, I took another gallon sized Ziploc and started with salad mix or spinach. One day I had some tomato sauce and stuffed pepper filling with the spinach. The other two days I can't remember exactly, but I think I just put leftover chicken in with it. I packed my TessaMae's salad dressing with it in a little dressing container and put it in with the salad when I was ready to eat it. It was really good and worked well!

 

It was kind of a fruit-dependent few days too. I had watermelon and berries for snacks, and little oranges. But I stayed compliant, so that's a win, right?!

 

It was a really, really fun and HOT week, and I feel like I got a ton of exercise too! One day, my Garmin said I walked more than 7 miles!

 

The sad thing was a lot of the kids were overweight, seemingly out of shape, and reluctant to walk much. So I felt glad to be setting this good example for my own kiddos.
