Send to a friend

Kids driving you up a wall? Don't worry they will start school soon and then they get to drive their teachers nuts!

They probably need a bunch of new stuff to start the school year. A backpack, paper, pens, and a lunch box. And, since you are reading Snack Girl, you probably want to make sure they have healthy choices with them at school.

Kids lunch boxes are packed with different containers and bags. An Easy lunch box looks like this:

Doesn't that look lovely? BPA free, easy to use and wash, and GREEN these lunch boxes rock. Anything that is cute and encourages healthy eating is wonderful, in my opinion.

For the people without kids on the site, these are a great way to keep organized and bring your lunch to work (instead of go out to lunch). Hopefully, owning a lunch box like this will motivate you to pack a lunch.

sarah russell on August 11, 2010

I'd definitely choose the purple one and fill it with cherries and blueberries. We love our fruit!

Joanna C on August 11, 2010

Purple, definitely, for my lupus and I would put fresh cut fruit and sushi rolls in there!

Kristen Osborn on August 11, 2010

I love the blue and I would have to add Kale chips to go with my wrap :)

carrie on August 11, 2010

Diggin the purple!

Kim Gordon on August 11, 2010

I would love the blue, and I would fill it with cheese, crackers, and grapes!

Charlene Beney on August 11, 2010

I love the green! would be great for all the fixins of a fresh tomato salad. YUM!

Jessica on August 11, 2010

Love it! I'll have 3 kids in school this fall as my son heads off to kindergarten! Green would be my choice as it is the only color all the kids would agree on.

My favorite snack to put in there - carrot chips.

I'm already following you on FB & Twitter! :D

Gail on August 11, 2010

I love the purple and I would fill it with frozen green grapes! D'lish!

Maura on August 11, 2010

I'm having a hard time choosing between the green or purple! I would fill it with blueberries and/or carrot chips with hummus. :D

Sandy on August 11, 2010

What a great lunchbox set! I like the red one! And I would pack a turkey and swiss on whole wheat, some strawberries or blueberries, and some little baby carrots.

Becky Brocato on August 11, 2010

We would choose aqua (our favorite isn't there Orange) for my oldest. He loves "sauce" (ranch dressing or alfredo sauce) so our snack would have sauce and something to dip in it (chicken or veggie straws) with cheese and I would also sneak in some fruit in hopes that one day he will eat it!

Resa Armstrong on August 11, 2010

Love you Snack Girl! I follow you on Twitter and Facebook! I love the green. I will fill it with fresh fruit.

Leigh TeWinkle on August 11, 2010

I love the purple of course! These would be great to pack lunhces for my daughter who doesn't like sandwiches!

Andrea Younie on August 11, 2010

Love the blue for my boy! We love carrots and light ranch to take to school.

francheska on August 11, 2010

I'd choose the red/purple. A perfect container for hummus and veggies.

Nora on August 11, 2010

I like the purple one! A great little kit! I would fill it with the fresh fruits and vegetables I munch on every day. Medication for neuropathy leaves me hungry all the time, so it is imperative that I have healthy snacks available.

Sharon Odden on August 11, 2010

Already bought 3 of these for my kids. I'd love an aqua one for myself.

Penny on August 11, 2010

Just "liked" you on facebook!

Nicole on August 11, 2010

I love the GREEN lunchbox and would fill the handy BPA-free containers with a healthy sandwich, fruit and cheese! Thanks, Snackgirl.

Anna from Boston on August 11, 2010

Just tweeted about the contest!

Nicole on August 11, 2010

Oh, I love purple, but---the kiddo would be using this most often, so green it is!

Erin on August 11, 2010

My son's favorite color is Green!

Sheila on August 11, 2010

I love the green colored one! Something about that shade of light green makes me think of dewey grass and sweet spring rain or something lol. It's just very relaxing, and it's just so pretty! When i visited Europe I remember seeing that shade of green of grass at Switzerland, and it really stayed with me XD.

and i would put, hmm, stirfried or cold mixed noodle (which would have lots of veggies such as multi colored bell peppers, cooked mushroom, some kinda meat (like spam, but hopefully something less fattening...) and hot sauce/black pepper) in the big compartment. In the side compartment, I would put stuff like Japanese seaweed salad and korean seasoned black bean or something. Or kimchi. mmm, or any number of asian side dishes that are perfect for those little side compartments :D~~~~~

Shannon on August 11, 2010

Commented on the Snack-Girl Facebook wall by the way. :D

Shannon on August 11, 2010

I love the olive color. I would pack fresh crabsalad in the big space, some grapes and some veggie sticks. Might also include a package of greek yogurt and a bottle of water.

Julie Kohl on August 11, 2010

Red - and I'd put sandwiches and fruit in it!

Carrie C. in VA on August 11, 2010

I like red the best, and my oldest son's favorite color is red. :) My kids LOVE fruit, so that would definitely be in there! Sandwiches would fit nicely in the large section of the lunchbox.

Jessica on August 11, 2010

Love the purple, and I'd fill it with hummus, whole grain crackers and baby carrots!

Stacie Weaver on August 11, 2010

I'm boring but I like the black one! I'd put hummus and baby carrots and small pita rounds in it.

Audrey DiMarzo on August 11, 2010

RED all the way! I would fill the small compartment with homemade raw zucchini hummus, and the large one with baby carrots, grape tomatoes, slices of French breakfast radish and yellow pepper and English cucumber, and my favorite -- crunchy-sweet jicama! I'd fill the medium compartment with sliced nectarines and fresh blackberries -- MMMMMM!

Kimberly on August 11, 2010

I would love to have the purple one! That's one of dd's favorite colors. The big compartment would be for her sandwich and the smallers ones for fruits and veggies like grapes/blueberries and carrots.

Felicia on August 11, 2010

I am loving the Aqua cooler Bag and I would pack Smoked Salmon on pumpernickel bread, sliced Apples and Nutella mixed with ground sunflower seeds (really really good mix).

BTW, loving the use of "Magical Website tools" lol

Sneeka on August 11, 2010

At last! My dishwasher will be so happy! It's such a pain getting the containers to fit properly - I end up stacking containers on top of one another. No more. I'm going to buy the EasyLunchbox Divided Food Containers and fill them with hummus, veggies, pretzels - the list goes on. Thank you!

Laura on August 11, 2010

Oops. I love all of the lunch box colors, but I'd choose...the blue! And fill it again with nuts, whole wheat linguine with broccoli, carrots and sauce.

Laura on August 11, 2010

Olive is my favorite color lunchbox. I would pack a hummus and cucumber sandwich on whole wheat bread w/ a side of grapes and baby carrots.

Colleen on August 11, 2010

Seems that purple is popular! Seeing that there is no pink, I would select purple also! I am excited about the new school year and the prospect of providing healthier lunches and choice for my kids!

Following on FB and Twitter...

Laurel on August 11, 2010

I would choose the red bag and I'd put my daughter's favorite snacks in it: bananas, goldfish, and carrot sticks.

Sarah on August 11, 2010

I also love the purple. I would fill it with rice and beans, homemade corn tortillas, and grapes.

Lyn on August 11, 2010

We love the aqua! We would pack yogurt, granola and fresh fruit!

Rachel Pargeter on August 11, 2010

Love the dark red bag. I would fill it with Greek yogurt, granola, and blueberries.

Shannon on August 11, 2010

i tweeted this!

kristyn on August 11, 2010

Basic black for me, and I would start bringing my lunch to work! Packed with lettuce, toms, strawberries and dressing on the side!

Krista S. on August 11, 2010

Love purple!!!
i would pack a fresh salad with lots of fresh veggies

kristyn on August 11, 2010

I'd love a black one. I'd put leftovers in it the night before so I can grab and go in the morning without having to think twice. I use these containers already in Ziploc's version, and they're falling apart and warping. I'm SO EXCITED to finally find one that's more sturdy and a bag to put it in so it doesn't tip sideways like mine do now in my current lunch bag. Thanks for finding these for us!! I'm also going to refer it to our pre-k as a fundraiser (as suggested on the website) since we all have to pack their lunches every day at our school... what a great idea!!

Angie Maddox on August 11, 2010

I like green and I would fill it with wraps, fruit salad and veggies! I have three kids so these are perfect for boycotting school lunch!lol

Melinda Jenkins on August 11, 2010

I love the olive green one! And I would fill it with healthy alternatives like carrots and hummus or celery and pb.

Holly S. on August 11, 2010

Got my eye on that dark red one!

I tweeted this:)

Heidi's Recipes on August 11, 2010

We always love green in our house!!!!

Brenda on August 11, 2010

the sage green is nice but my daughter would prefer purple! I'd put some weelicious zucchini coins in with edamame and beet chips in there alongside some thing in the line of a turkey cream cheese wrap with avocado.

Ashia Mann on August 11, 2010

I REALLY want a black one! :)

Cloi Rowley on August 11, 2010

My favorite color is blue, so that would be my fave. ;) As for snacks to pack, I was thinking it would be perfect for a salad or hummus, pita and veggies. MMM MMM!!!

Roxy on August 11, 2010

Roxy on August 11, 2010

Wow! What a great product! I would choose the purple and fill them with cottage cheese,tomatoes & avocado,and fresh fruit. Yum!

Gelene on August 11, 2010

What a great idea! I love the <i>purple</i> one!

I think it would be the perfect container for my favorite lunch salad: Chickpeas, cucumbers, green onions & tomatoes with a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Throw some Wasa crisps on the side, and mmmm mmmm!!

Julie on August 11, 2010

Love the purple because thats what dear daughter would LOVE!! I love the container sets too and will be purchasing one pronto! As to what I would put in it......our famous ham and jam sandwiches .....also new request for this year flavored cream cheese!

Connie on August 11, 2010

I've actually seen these before and didn't have any money at the time to buy them! They look so awesome. I like the olive color. & I would probably put a myriad amount of fruits in it for my 2 year old.

Roxy on August 11, 2010

oh my - i like all the colors. I think I'd buy the red. What would I put in it? A turkey and spinach sandwich on Arnold's Dark German Wheat bread (love that bread!), some Oikos plain non-fat yogurt with fresh fruit (blueberries right now but the fruit changes with the seasons), and probably some raw almonds.

Vladdie on August 11, 2010

I like the purple one! I would pack a turkey sandwich, carrot sticks, and sliced strawberries in the cute box. Yum!

Beth on August 11, 2010

I would love the green one! We homeschool but this year we are adding a membership to the YMCA for PE and I will need a lunch set - these are cute! I love packing a lunch because we use up leftovers that way!

Karen on August 11, 2010

I would love to try these lunch packs, and to carry them in that cute olive bag.

Jenn on August 11, 2010

I like the red lunch bag! My favourite snacks are usually seasonal fruits like berries, grapes, etc. And I pack lunch to work everyday!! :D

Purple for the girl, Green for the boy. My daughter loves carrots and celery with ranch dip.

I would love the black so that even my husband might use it! I'd fill it with my daughter's favorite sandwich: cheese and freezer jam. Of course, she'd want some fruit and pita chips, too!

Jenny Loveridge on August 12, 2010

I really like the purple, but the blue would match the smock I wear at work. I carry my lunch to work every day. Besides my sandwich or salad, I carry baby carrots, fruit, and a trail mix bar or mini rice cakes. I could really use the lunch box. Such a great-looking organizer!!!!

Thanks for all the good tips and give-aways!

Joyce T. on August 12, 2010

The aqua lunch bag would be great for my boys. (But my favorite is purple!)It would be filled with watermelon, carrot sticks and a turkey sandwich with mustard. Yum!

Rachel on August 12, 2010

My favourites are the olive green and the dark red. I love that there are companies out there taking issues like BPA into account!

I bet the bag would fit well in my bike basket to take to work. I also would probably use the container for the boyfriend when I make lunch for him, hehe.

Sagan on August 12, 2010

I would LOVE the green one - and I'd put black olives with feta in it. Yummy!

sAm on August 12, 2010

LOVE these. I've been looking for something less wasteful and that will inspire my little ones to eat their lunches. With picky eaters and a preschool that requires dairy and nut-free lunches, packing the midday meal is a challenge enough. Anything that is reduces the number of plastic baggies used and gets them eating I'd like to try. Color? All of them!
