school lunch box ideas?

my son starts big school next yearand id love 2 get sum easy recipes 2 pack in his lunch box thanx…..10 points promised

Give lots of suggestions to you son and alternate all his favourites. Vary the type of bread e.g. pitta, sliced, roll, flat bread so he is always surprised.
Keep it healthy, if you give junk he will expect it all of the time.
Yogurt sachets are great and can be kept in the freezer so still cool by lunch. Include a mixture of fruit such as grapes and vegetables such as carrot sticks. You can also cut apple into segments and mix with a small amount of lemon juice to prevent from going brown. These can then be kept in a box and include a few every day ( he may not eat them every day but persevere). Flapjack or fruit loaf is a healthy alternative to cake. Sometimes I include a small pasta salad or a tub of hummus.
Cheese and crackers is another option or small cubes of cheese in with the veges.
A small box of raisins.
Hope this helps
