Today's lunch was:
-Ham & cheese on a whole wheat English muffin
-apple slices
-carrot sticks
-almonds
-string cheese
-pretzels
-whole grain Goldfish
If I had done all of these foods separately, I would have had 6 different containers or plastic baggies. This hinged box kept it all together without a million things to wash or throw away. And because of the way the box is designed, every item stays put in its designated spot. It reminds me of a lunch tackle box! Pretty cool, indeed!
The Lunch Ladies also sell bags specific for this container that can even be personalized. Visit their Web site or "like" them on Facebook to learn more about this awesome product!
So, does it let stuff dry out? And you wouldn't really put apple slices in there--they'd turn brown, right?
ReplyDeleteEach compartment is sort of sealed off on its own with the divided lid, so nothing dries out. I use the pre-sliced apples that are coated in citric acid to keep them from turning brown. Not always cost effective, but I can usually find them on sale and they make my life a lot easier!
ReplyDeleteA little bit of lemon juice on your apples will keep them from browning. We use these lunch boxes everyday and love them!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to buy three -- one for each kid -- but money is tight, tight, tight.
ReplyDeleteIs there a way for us to get a coupon code from mysquaremeal.com?
If you put something like yogurt or other "liquidy" type of food and held the box in a vertical position, would it leak into another area?
ReplyDeleteTks
A thicker liquid (like yogurt) would work fine. I would put anything too thin in it though.
