need lunch snack ideas that are better than cookies

one of my step sons isnt a real good eater. he eats a lot of junk so we want to give him better lunch snacks instead of chips or cookies and such.
what are some things you give your kids as snacks that are better/healthier?
thanks

My DS gets fresh fruit in his lunch box every day. Some other healthier snacks are go-gurt, granola bars, cereal bars, cheese stick, Triscuits, peanut butter crackers, celery or carrot sticks, cucumbers, goldfish.
