Lunchboxes - Think Inside the Box

-
This site is dedicated to the lunchbox and everything we put in them. As a Mom with 2 young kids, I aim to explore the topic in full because 1) I will be packing lunches for the next decade 2) I have enjoyed reading recipe and product ideas on the internet over the last couple of years and would like to take part in this collaboration and 3) I would like to further explore overall interest in lunchboxes since I dream of one day creating a company with new and better lunchbox products.
Enjoy!!

Buy a waste-free lunch box There are several to choose from, including Laptop Lunches, To-Go Ware, Mr. Bento Stainless Lunch Jar, and Aladdin, among others. For a list of a few online places to buy a waste-free lunchbox, see our Lunch Box Resources page
- Buy local or regional produce Make a habit of buying from local farmers markets. In the winter when fresh local produce may be scarce, make soups using dried beans, lentils and winter squash.

If you would like to save time/energy and your sanity in packing your kids lunch every day, I suggest making a couple of dinner meals a week
that easily transform into main lunchbox foods. Here are my 5 favorite–we rotate through and cook these a couple of times during week and pack leftovers right into the lunchbox.
- 1. Frozen Raviolis We buy large bulk bags of frozen cheese raviolis. Cook some extra at dinner time and put a few with fresh parmesan and olive oil in each lunchbox. Side with any fresh vegetables and a turkey roll up or hard boiled egg.

During my research for healthy lunch box ideas, I came across a drink product I had not yet encountered: Froose® . Invented by a Mom concerned about her kids health, Froose® is made to be a healthier juice by incorporating whole-grains. After reading about the product on their site, Froose® appears to be a great idea and good substitute for standard juice boxes. Froose® is a combination of whole grains and 100% fruit juice, therefore delivering fiber and whole grain nutrients beneficial to growing kids.
