Struggling with getting Dd12 to eat anything other than cheese wraps for packed lunches or cheese toasties at home. She'll bary cheese between hard, mozzarella and halloumi but still cheese! She won't entertain cold meats, houmous etc and I'm trying to steer her towards healthier options without making it obvious.

What sort of packed lunches/snacks do your children eat instead of snacking on rubbish!

If she eats other things for breakfast / tea then i'd leave her be. She obviously likes it, and there's plenty of adults who have the same for lunch each day. If she gets tired of eating the same thing then i'm sure she'll find something new to try.

Dd eats cheese and cucumber every day. Ds1 alternates between honey and peanut butter. I've given up worrying and feed them what they will eat

Could you grate the cheese and add in grated carrot too or maybe tiny diced red pepper?
