Above is a typical lunch I pack for the kids, it has a fruit, entree and beverage. I like to pack the kids’ lunch in glass containers, because they are the best and safest containers to eat from. No BPA worries with glass, plus with glass you taste the actual food. Glass doesn’t leach a metallic or plastic taste, as with plastic and metal containers. The best thing about glass is that it’s dishwasher safe, and can be re-used again and again. For those of you that are worried about using glass, I get it, but I wanted to let you know that Eli who is almost 8, has been using these containers in his lunch since pre-school, and has yet to break one. He is all boy, so that’s saying a lot. You don’t have to go out and buy new containers. Take a look in your cabinets, and see what you have on hand already, and get creative. If you need to purchase some new containers, hit the Container Store or Bed Bath and Beyond, as they both have a great selection.





This container is very useful. Now our children have no needed to throw their insightful material anywhere because of this container.

I am loving all these snacks- for the kids and myself:) I must get me one of those bottles!
You have to grab one of these bottles. They are the BEST, and you will not regret it. Check out your local Whole Foods.
You are such a great mama role model for reducing waste! Sometimes I go nuts thinking about all the waste in kids lunches and cafeterias. Bravo 🙂
Thanks Becca! I cringe thinking about how it used to be when we grew up, and sadly it’s that way in most states still.
Those snack packs are next om my must-buy list!
They are the best and so easy to clean up!
Jackie, I so appreciate your taking the time to do this post and show people environmentally friendly lunch materials. I hope lots of people read this and take it to heart.
Thanks so much Sharyn. I hope people read it as well and get some helpful tips.
