Ds used to have something like a teacake, cheese chunks, carrot sticks and a yoghurt.

He has now discovered marmite/jam/peanut butter and is fine.

Would wraps work? My two like ham and houmous in their wraps. I have also used Warbertons sandwich squares which my kids call cracker sandwiches, they don't see them as bread.
I have also done cold pasta in pesto which generally goes down well.
I keep meaning to go back and find some of the baby led weaning recipes I used to make because there were cheesy vegetable bakes that would really work well in a packed lunch.

cold roasted chicken wings and some kind of rice or pasta salad with veggies? That's my kids standard packed lunch for school trips (they have hot dinners at school; our school has an exceptionally good kitchen and cook)Smile
