5 Lunch Boxes with Snack and Lunch Ideas
It’s that time of year when we start to think about what we will be making our kids for lunch and whether we will be using brown paper bags, reusable bags, or lunch boxes.
Lunch boxes are our choice because:
1) My kids don’t end up with squished sandwiches and plums (so gross) and the cleaning is SO easy.
2) I find that when I use a bag, I tend to throw other bags inside which results in lots of waste and food choices that might not be as healthy.
3) Another perk with these designs is that I can incorporate bits of dinner from the night before which cuts down on food waste.
4) Everything is visible, accessible and becomes finger food. My kids love finger food.
5) They can easily pack their own lunches the night before! After dinner, the boxes come out and everyone packs their lunch.
While looking for options this year, I landed on these five lunch boxes:
Smart Planet EC-34 Large 3-Compartment Eco Silicone Collapsible Lunch Box
This very clever lunch box is made from BPA-free, food grade silicone and biodegradable Eco Plastic. It is made to hold anything from a sandwich to last night’s leftovers and even soup. Now it’s easy to “go green” by using this reusable waste-free lunch system. Simply compress it to 1/3 of the size so that it is easy to carry and store when you are done. As an added bonus, this set comes complete with its own innovative two-sided spork that snaps into the lid.
