Normally it’s an assortment of the following:
Fruit: little box of raisins, grapes, berries, sliced kiwi, satsuma, dried apricots
Veg: sliced red pepper, cucumber sticks, cherry tomatoes, carrot
Carbs: rice cakes, cheese biscuits, mini breadsticks, pitta bread, malt loaf lunch bar, mini pizza
Protein: chopped up sausage, cheese cubes, yogurt, hard boiled egg

If I have time I make up individual portions of fruit in jelly in plastic Tupperware pots and on very rare occasions I make a stash of mini frittatas in a muffin tin. They're always popular!
Some other things I’ve being meaning to make for their packed lunch:
Pizza scrolls www.taste.com.au/recipes/ham-pineapple-cheese-pizza-scrolls/1d564340-a5bd-4180-b6e9-f05e10a64d04
Mini sausage rolls www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/12541/mini-sausage-rolls
Rice cakes
Cheesy flapjacks www.british-leeks.co.uk/recipe/leek-cheese-flapjacks.php

We put in it:

-microwave rice with frozen peas and sweetcorn in, and bits of chicken
-spag bol
-pasta with bacon and peppers
