This is a tough one!
My kids eat better with the school because they have salad bar every day! Way more veggies than they would eat from a brown bag.
Notwithstanding, more ideas:
MUFFINS-more fun than a sandwich, just as nutritious. Try to make batches ahead of time and freeze:
-banana/nut/whole wheat
-cheese/corn
-zucchini/whole wheat
I agree with Secret Stash - Get them to pack or help pack it themselves!
Have a box or area in the pantry for 'lunch items'
pretzels
fruit cups (pre packaged, yes)
protein bars (these are the best invention for lunches in decades)
graham crackers (great with peanut butter)
drink boxes
Have an area for reusable containers and baggies.
Good Luck!
And if you work, show them by example!
