EasyLunchBoxes Review and Giveaway! Great Back to school lunch boxes!


"Easylunchboxes.com was born out of Kelly’s innate ability to do things efficiently while on a shoestring budget, and her desire to send her daughters to school with simple, healthy food, with little to no extra packaging or ingredients. Her past struggle with weight control inspires her to teach and model healthy eating habits for her children, and has fueled her dedication to always send them off to school with a great lunch. Read about Kelly's healthy lifestyle on MOM TRENDS.

Kelly combined her self taught business-savvy with her natural inclination to think “what would other parents want?” — to develop the perfect lunchbox system. She is thrilled and proud to share her Easylunchboxes and lunch bags with other families who will benefit by their simple design, great price, and amazing functionality. Additionally, by promoting the waste-free lunch movement, EasyLunchboxes.com is helping the planet one lunch box at a time."

I recently become interested in bento style lunches. All of the cute little shapes and designs, and even the adorable lunch boxes! What isn't to like about a bento? EasyLunchBoxes was one of the first products recommended to me. I checked out their website and saw how great their product would be for a first time bento maker. Even better, the container and cooler make a great kid friendly lunch bag! (I'm thinking way ahead for Lovebug hehe)

A few weeks ago, I received a set of containers and a cooler bag from EasyLunchBoxes to review. Since we left for vacation, I didn't get to do much with them, other than clean them. It had been the original plan to take one with us to try at the beach, but in the hustle of last minute packing, it was left behind.

Once we returned home, I wanted to put it to the test. Even though we weren't planning an outting, I decided to use the EasyLunchBoxes container for my meal. I packed a yummy sandwich in the larger opening, and then pita chips and hummus in the other two smaller compartments.

I shook it around a bit, just to simulate traveling with it. I wanted to see if any of the food would leak out or into the wrong compartment. I can happily say that it all stayed where it was supposed to! And while I haven't created any super cute bento lunches for Lovebug yet, I know that EasyLunchBoxes will be something we rely on for a long time!

When we first got them, husband I were discussing getting even more once we get a deep freezer. That way, we'll have personal meals ready when we need them!

I can't comment on the cooler too much, as we haven't had a chance to use it, but it looks sturdy enough that I could send it to school with my child and not worry about it holding up!

And in case you're wondering, and I'm sure you are. EasyLunchBoxes is FDA approved. No BPA, phthalates, lead, vinyl, or PVC. Safe for dishwasher, freezer, and microwave.

EasyLunchBoxes has generously offered to give one Moma Lovebug reader a set of containers and a cooler in their choice of color!

I would take these on any trips in the car, camping any where that I need to bring a snack for the kids. Keep things from getting smushed while traveling.

I'm going back to school and my classes are at night, after work, so I need to transport my lunches, dinners, and snacks to work and class on those days. I'm trying to avoid the lazy and expensive route of buying food on campus, so this'll really help!

Lois said...

Hiya! :) I'd so love to take these with me when I go back to college again for the fall. I can take my sandwich or bagel, but also put something else with it that I don't have to buy there, or even if I don't, just simply know my sandwich isn't getting smashed in the plain baggie! :)

Man all those compartments would be perfect for packing my toddler's lunch every day. He doesn't seem to care if food is touching, but it grosses mommy right out!! :)

Vicki said...

I would love to get the 4 containers and then get two bags so I can use one for each of my kid's school lunches. I want to stop using so many baggies and want to send healthier food and I want to simplify things. Looks like these would do all those things!
Thanks! :)

I would use these to pack healthy lunches for my husband and myself to take to work. I work with preschoolers, so it is important that I set a good example at meal times. Eventually I can also send them to school with our kids.
