Some great ideas :thumbsup:

Im new to the lunchbox thing but after 5 weeks this is basically what we're doing:

Sambo or pita pocket filled with either chicken or ham and salad, some days DS asked for a Jam sambo so his easy pleased.
Tub of yogurt
Cheese stick
Fruit - normally either grapes, melon or apple
Tzatziki or slasa dip, crackers & carrot sticks
Mini Muffin
Musli bar

Found in the first few weeks I was over doing it, but we've worked it out now and DS comes into the kitchen in the morning with his requests for the day which is good because he'll normally eat everything because he has had input into it.
