[quote=Anonymous]Only you can know if your kid likes any of these but this is what we pack regularly. I have 2 cold pack bentos meaning that the freezer tray is included in the lunch box. I have 2 thermos omie boxes for hot foods. Lastly, I have regular bento for foods that require neither cool/hot.

Breakfast based:
-Oatmeal 
-Baked oatmeal
-French toast with sausage cut up
-Pancakes with sausage cut up

These items are from the morning prior and they always get put as lunch the next day.

Leftovers/Hot:
-Pasta with butter
-Spaghetti with meat sauce
-Chili
-rice and black beans 
-chicken thighs and rice 
-pork chops and rice

Again leftovers from the night before. It takes 10 minutes for the thermos to heat with hot water. Reheat the leftovers and then add to the hot thermos. I prep the fruit and veggies the night prior.

Easier/Cold:
-Uncrustables/PBJ
-Yogurt and granola (put in Omie thermos that has been in freezer with water for X hours)
-Turkey or ham rollups- use a tortilla or flattened bread
-Charcuterie (any type of cured meat plus crackers)

He usually gets 3-4 fruits and veggies plus some type of nut (pistachio, pecan, etc.)

My kid cant do dairy so there's even more options for kids that can have cheese/yogurt pouches/shelf-stable milks added to meals for protein. Hard boiled eggs arent tolerated but a great option for kids lunches.

Honestly any dinner that you have can be lunch the next day. You just need the right equipment to get it and keep it to temp.
