Enjoy a Waste Free Lunch with EasyLunchboxes {Review & Giveaway} Ends 1/26

Do you want a way to make lunch more eco-friendly and easier this year?  The EasyLunchbox System lets you pack lunch fast and they're great for the environment.  EasyLunchboxes saves you time and money- you can fit a complete healthy meal into one container and they're washable and reusable (no more plastic sandwich bags).  They're perfect for kids and adults to take lunch anywhere... and they're completely affordable.
EasyLunchboxes was created by singer, actress, and busy mom to 3 girls Kelly Lester.  She designed EasyLunchboxes as a way to send her daughters to school with simple, healthy food, with little to no extra packaging.  She inspires to teach and model healthy eating habits for her children, and is dedicated to always send them off to school with a great lunch.  Check out this video to see Kelly and the Easy Lunch Box system in action.  You can also stay connected with Kelly on her Blog and her new Musical Web Series "Let's Do Lunch!".


These are some of the awesome benefits of Easy Lunch Boxes:

  • Eco-Friendly
  • For Kids & Adults
  • Bento-Style, 3-Compartments
  • Less Pieces, More Function
  • No BPA, Lead, Vinyl or PVC
  • Affordable & Durable
  • Easy Prep, Easy Cleanup
  • Nesting Containers
  • Custom, Washable Cooler Bag
I was totally impressed by the Easy Lunchbox system- the containers are durable and hold a lot of food.  Many compartment containers I've tried in the past weren't actually deep enough to fit a whole sandwich without squishing it, so I'm pleased to say that EasyLunchboxes easily fits a generous sized sandwich in the big compartment... which means it will also fit a nice salad or leftovers just as easily.  On the other hand it's not oversized either so that portions can still be kept at a healthy size.

The lids fit nicely over the entire container, not leak proof, but made so kids at school can actually get the lid off by themselves to eat their lunch.  The last thing you want is a healthy lunch made with love that your child has to struggle to get open.  All the containers and lids are also microwave safe- the plastic won't leach harmful chemicals when heated or cooled, and dishwasher safe.  I don't plan to put mine in the dishwasher though because plasticware never seems to come out right for me (probably time to switch dishwasher detergent).
Lastly, the containers are specifically designed to fit perfectly into the Insulated Lunch Bag. This non-vinyl cooler bag is safe (PVC and lead free) and has FDA compliant PEVA lining.  No worrying about whether your food touching the bag is safe... you can eat in peace.  These bags are easy to unzip, easy to clean, and have plenty of room to fit the Easy Lunch Box container PLUS a drink, added foods (ie. yogurt, apple), plasticware,  napkins, and an icepack. You could also fit in 2 containers plus drinks etc. or even 3 containers in 1 bag... ideal if I'm headed to a playdate or a picnic at the park with all 3 of my girls!  Very roomy- love it!

  6. I learned that The Easy Lunchbox System Saves Space because they nest inside each other when not in use. They stack neatly on top of each other and take up very little space inside your refrigerator if you like to prepare lunches the night before. I WOULD SO LOVE ONE OF THESE.

  62. I learned the lids are not super tight fitting as they are meant to be opened easily by little fingers. Small children won’t need help opening up these portable lunch containers. They stay closed, but even toddlers will find them quick and easy to open. This would be PERFECT for my daughter who is starting preschool!!
