My son is 12 and packs his own lunches. On Sundays, we bread for sandwiches and he will make himself a couple of different versions for the week. He also packs up a couple of wraps. His favorite is grilled chicken cesar- we leave the dressing in a snack size sandwich bag so that he can just open the tip and drizzle on the dry wrap before eating. In addition to his main item, he will pack a few of the following:
Carrots
celery and pb
bagel chips
applesauce, dried fruit or cut fruit- he portions these out on sundays for the week
1 sweet- licorice, cookie, slice of pumpkin bread
He hates prepackaged foods and after watching Super Size Me and Jamie Oliver's food revolution, he is even more reluctant to try school food.
