[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I pack frozen peas and I assume they thaw in time for lunch and they always get eaten.  We brain-stormed ideas with my son and his ideas were cheese-and-crackers, yogurt tubes (you freeze them and then apparently they thaw by lunchtime but they're full of sugar) and sun-butter sandwiches.  I've tried baby carrots/string beans and hummus but those come back uneaten.  We do send string cheese along with any other food and those always get eaten.[/quote]

My son won't eat fruit, so I pack several frozen veggies this way and he always eats them.  I also pack lightly steamed broccoli, carrots, and green beans this way, too.   For some reason, he's more likely to eat things that have been steamed than raw.  And not steamed to death.   Those get too soggy by lunch.

My son likes turkey pepperoni slices and brie cheese slices.  Sometimes I throw in a half of a hard cooked egg.

Pro-Bugs kefir, which are like yogurt, but have even more probiotics in them.   If you haven't tried them, you could try them just for a little variety.

My son likes barbecue shredded chicken.  I pack the meat, heated, in a thermos funtainer, and he assembles it on a roll at school/camp.  Haven't sent that recently because it's so hot out.

He does like sandwiches, though.   However, perhaps cutting them into four squares and/or removing the crusts may make them seem more fun?    I send grilled cheese sticks like this, too.
