Something like chicken kebab sticks from the deli, prep the salad as a side dish before class.

My boys love a platter
Mix of cold meats, veggies and fruit, savoys and cheese
Its their favourite meal

I find a simple sandwich usually does the trick and they can put whatever protein they like inside. Easy and mess free

Check out Nadia Hussein’s instant noodles! Sooooo yummy, easy and you can make different options based on taste ahead of time. When you want to eat them, just add boiling water.

Can’t go wrong with mini wraps, and there’s so many ideas for fillings, google and you shall see!

I would say as it’s one night a week make it a treat night. Do up an assortment of things like cabanossee , cheese, some crackers, popcorn, potato chips, carrot sticks, cut up apples etc just have snacks and easy picky foods. If you don’t think that will be enough include a favourite sandwich also

Vegemite scrolls, cut up veggies with hummus dip & cheese cubes, Some fruit Pop them In their own Bento boxes and you’re sorted. It’s only once a week.

Foods that come in small portions, like spring rolls, meatballs, chicken tenders are all good. But don’t overlook a sandwich. Once a week it won’t hurt them, and it’s an easy portable meal.

We always just ate later when the kids and I had sport. i would use the slow cooker or just do chicken wraps with salad etc. If you have a fridge maybe salads, wraps and sandwiches etc

My kids absolute favourite meal is mixed finger foods, so if you can get some good lunch boxes with different compartments I’d highly recommend this. Think, raw vegie sticks, crackers, cheese, cabanossi, dip and fruits. Also mini quiche etc. Otherwise salad rolls are good!

ham/salad roll or a good old sandwich. they will both do the trick!! easy to please

A food thermos is a life saver. Put leftovers, or make a big pasta bake, stirfry noodles, quiche etc on a less busy day and send these along, You could accompany with some vegie and fruit sticks, yoghurt pouches, crackers etc. Or a savory muffin?
Dont go too hard on yourself. After school sports is hard, especially when the day is a long one

You could try make them bento boxes. Add the main food groups – carbs, protein, veg, etc.

My kids have little flasks – great for pasta. Easy to eat on the go, they stay hot for ages.

Love the idea of little quiches, or maybe some scones – plain, pumpkin or date would be nice.

Fresh veggies like Carrots and beans, roast chicken, and maybe a pasta or potato salad.

Hotdogs, pizza, fried chicken. Something your able to make in bulk but quick and easy ☺️

Mini quiches are nice served cold and you can load them up with vegies.

I usually make bacon & cheese scrolls + cut up fruit or Zucchini or Egg & Bacon slice – which can be eaten cold. My kids have always loved this and we don’t have it any other night of the week.

Foods to eat before they get home and while they wait for you would be simple one container mixtures focusing on plant-based protein. It’s great you have a fridge to store. I’d be doing 1) pasta salads (perhaps using those red lentil pasta spirals for protein rather than regular ‘refined carb’ pasta) with all sorts of chopped cold cooked veggies and salad veggies mixed in; 2) Cold cooked kidney beans with hummus and cold cooked sweet potatoe, maybe some grated cheese; 3) tins of Tuna they can add to cold potatoes, salad veggies, carrots etc. 4) Cooked salmon actually stores well in a fridge and can be eaten with a similar range of cold cooked veggies and salad veggies and 5) even cold boiled eggs with pasta salads.
