Can anyone recommend a really quick, healthy meal for kid who goes to club

My child has just started a club and it’s pretty much straight from school (she’ll come home to get dressed quickly, then out the door). I work until shes back and I don’t have time to cook our evening meal before then. I can spare about 10 mins before she leaves. Any ideas for quick, simple and healthy meals to take with her?

I also work evenings so I only cook dinner at dinner time, cannot do the night before. Todays was rubbish, cheese and cucumber sandwich, baked cheese & onion crisps, fruit and some carrot sticks so was basically a lunch.

Every so often I make up a batch of tomato sauce with assorted vegetables and red lentils and blend it up. I then freeze it in what is basically a big ice cube tray from our weaning days so I have frozen cubes of pasta sauce.

Then on these sorts of nights I have fresh pasta in which only takes a few mins to boil with a handful of peas or sweetcorn in. Then I stir in a cube or two of fhe pasta sauce which I take out to defrost earlier in the day. Homemade dinner in 5 mins flat.

Could you make extra of the day before dinner and heat that up maybe with a slight tweak?
