EasyLunchbox food containers and carrying bags

I just ordered and started using this fabulous new lunchbox system from EasyLunchboxes.com. What a huge difference it’s making in our house! Lunch packing is so much faster and easier now! We have a 3rd grade girl and a 5th grade boy who take their lunch to school on a daily basis. And sometimes my husband wants to take a home cooked meal with him to work. Guess who packs the lunches in our house? I love making healthy food for them, but I really hate trying to figure out what to pack it all in. EasyLunchboxes to the rescue!

This system has 2 parts—the plastic lunch containers and the carrying bags that you pack them in. The containers are simply but ingeniously designed with only two pieces (top and bottom) but each container has three compartments. One compartment will hold a sandwich or entree, and the other two compartments hold side dishes. Most lunchbox container systems have lots of different pieces/lids which makes for a hassle in the dishwasher, organizing in your cupboard, and especially for filling and packing with all that yummy food. But EasyLunchboxes makes it so simple to pack lunches since there are only two pieces! This is especially helpful if you have a lot of kids. Just lay out the 3-compartment containers on your counter and fill ‘em up. It’s so fast!

So many different kinds of foods will fit perfectly in the compartments, and since the bottom and lid are all you need, no time is wasted looking through drawers for pieces that fit together or will hold the food correctly. Seal each container with the one snap on lid and you’re good to go! No wasteful baggies needed or expensive pre-packaged “snack packs.” You can buy in bulk and just portion out what you need into the containers. Their website even has a gallery of inspirational lunch ideas that show all kinds of great meals. The EasyLunch carrying bags are roomy enough to hold the food container as well as other snacks, a drink and an ice pack.

A lot of other lunch systems aren’t as flexible as this one because they aren’t roomy enough to hold a whole piece of fruit or even a thermos like the EasyLunch carrying bags can! And my 2 kids personalized their carrying bags by clipping on their favorite key chain to the grommet in the carrying handle, which the company included in the design just for that purpose. What I especially love about this lunch box system is that it is so eco-friendly and made of completely non-toxic materials. No BPA, phthalates, PVC, Lead, or Vinyl. Oh, almost forgot to tell you - the best part: the price is so affordable!!! This system costs at least 2/3 less than what others are selling for and the quality is excellent. Easylunchboxes.com definitely appeals to this frugal and efficient mom.
