I pack a hot thermos lunch for my vegetarian daughter every day. She has soups, stews, cous cous, mac and cheese, mashed potato and gravy, stir fried rice, battered veggies, chili, etc. I pack a bisquit, corn bread or muffin to go with whatever she is having. I also pack fresh fruit and veggies with a dipping sauce. Her lunch is so interesting that the principal of the school comes by each day to see what she is having, lol I prepare the meal the night before, and just reheat it in the morning. I preheat the thermos with hot water while the food heats. In warmer months, she likes tortilla wrap sandwhiches, or tuna and sprouts wrapped up in lettuce leaves, or a cold rice or taboulah salad.

Raw celery, red pepper and carrot sticks with a little pot of dip (eg hummous, cream cheese).

Every week my friend always used to get a little pot of roast chicken mixed up with mayonnaise. I was SOOOOOO jealous as it always looked so yummy (and exotic, since nobody else came with gourmet lunches like that back in the 80s!)!

Also try pepperami if she likes it?

And you can buy those little packs of individual cheese portions - far better and tastier for her than cheese strings and they differ so offer day to day variation.

Swop the sandwiches for a bit of pizza - kids love it cold - every once in a while. A banana or raisins instead of the grapes.

Vary the breads, use pitta's, wraps, little boxes of raisins, clementine oranges, crackers, flavoured cream cheese, mini muffins, little pizza's made from bread rolls, hard boiled egg, tuna mayo, ham, cheese, cherry tomatoes, small savoury snack packs, chicken, little yoghurts or mousses, smoothies, juice, bags of peeled sliced apples, melon/pineapple/pear, cubes of cheese - let her help you make them up - she's bound to enjoy them then! good luck

try different combinations with sandwich, and keep swapping the bread from white to bread, from sliced bread to pitas and wraps

the supermarket shelves are literally bursting from products you can use for filling

cheddar cheese, butters with herbs, cheese spreads, peanut butter, salads, lettuces, diff tomatoes (vine, baby etc), cucumbers

also try healthier variation of crisps - such as baked, parsnip crisps, apple crisps so kids feel they are getting crisps, but they arent loaded with oil

good luck

make some wraps like the attack a snacks in the fridges at supermarkets, have your daughter help you make it, use different meats, fish salad vegetables, cheese etc, different fruits, cereal/energy bars instead of choccie biscuits
