I haven’t got any pictures but each day my kids (six and four) get a sandwich of their choosing, a pottle of homemade yoghurt, a small container of crackers and savoury snacks, a sweet item (biscuit / muffin / cupcake etc) and a piece of fruit. They get roughly the same stuff every day but I change up the snacks / fruit / sandwiches so they still get a good variety of stuff.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I use the school provided lunch for my daughter so no input - but is that bottled CFA sauce?!

Today my 5 year old requested cereal, so she has a thermos with cold milk and a baggie with frosted mini wheats and Cheerios, plus a sliced apple. School provides morning snack, which is usually not terribly healthy.

I often do a version of a lunchable- rolled up Swiss cheese, nuts, craisins, crackers... she finally started liking when I send things warm in the thermos too- either tortellini or Mac and cheese. She’s been off sandwiches which makes it harder. Lucky for me they have no nut allergies in the class or restrictions on food you send in since nuts are her primary source of protein.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I'll definitely be buying that! My daughter is obsessed.

No pictures, but today DD1 also has chicken tenders (left over from dinner the other night - cooked in air fryer) and CFA sauce today along with leftover brussel sprouts & mushrooms. Orange slices for morning snack - daycare provides the after school snack.

Her usual lunch varies between deli meat with cheese chunks and veggies (she loves the frozen mixed veggies and/or edamame), a hummus wrap with whatever veggies I have in the fridge, or leftovers from dinner if it's something easy to pack/eat. I sent her Chobani yogurt for her main 2x last week and she seemed to really like that as well (mixed berry and strawberry banana).

First year I'm packing lunch for DS1 in kindergarten. He usually gets one of two lunches:

#1 - 2 hard boiled egg whites, a muffin, string cheese, fruit (usually strawberries) and veggie (usually frozen green beans or zucchini that thaws by lunchtime)

#2 - 1/2 sandwich, same fruit and veggie as above and usually a yogurt drink

snacks are usually any combo of: goldfish, pretzels, fruit strip, apple slices, green peppers, carrots, granola bar, essentially anything that doesn't need to be kept cold as he eats it in the afternoon

Tomorrow’s lunch for my 5 year old. Apple slices, rolled up Swiss, wheat thins, and a mix of cashews, raisins, and Cheerios. She used to like this Trader Joe’s trail mix I got but she’s started picking out more and more parts that she doesn’t like (she would come home with the almonds and pistachios, so like half the mix).

@Foodnerd81: daycare has never complained that it leaked and LO would definitely let me know if his foods touched. It's fantastic!
