Back to School Lunchboxes Review & Giveaway

I was recently sent Easy Lunchboxes system to review & with 2 littles that are always hungry on whatever trip or outing we go on I thought it was a great opportunity.  Now in all honesty I used to be a pretty bad "stop at whatever was closest and go through a drive thru mom"--not a healthy decision maker I know.  But within the past year collectively as a family we have SEVERELY cut back on all processed foods-this has forced us to plan ahead and bring our own healthy snacks/treats when we need some on the fly nosh.  
Well I am all for eating healthy BUT walking out of the house with a purse full of sandwiches bags which have the propensity to get squashed or spilled-not so much. 
And I just hate to waste the sandwich bags like that, its so not eco-friendly.   

Enter Easy Lunchboxes Back to School Lunchboxes to the rescue!  Easy Lunchboxes was created by a mom who wanted to send her kids off to school with healthy, nutritious lunches made in a flash without the waste of paper/plastic products.  Easy Lunchboxes supports the waste-free lunch movement, and offer a reusable, superior solution at a much lower price than other companies.  FDA approved. No BPA, phthalates, lead, vinyl, or PVC. Safe for dishwasher, freezer, and microwave.  Love that!!  Here are a few dishes I put to use in my Easy Lunchboxes System:  (act like you are impressed...haha!)

Tuna sandwich, apples and radishes

Oatmeal & flax burger on a wheat bun w/ pickles, string cheese & cantaloupe

For the fruitarian- peaches, clementines cheese & oven dried grapes

Turkey Wrap with clementines and celery

EasyLunchboxes are a Bento style lunchbox and I really, really like that.  I have been trying to get my creative juices flowing as far as what to put in them for Jet Pilot's lunch and so far I am still coming up with everyday stuff but I have been doing a little Bento Lunchbox recon and I have a few tricks up my sleeve.  (Naturally this is the week I want to try them out and he is on early flights all week and is home by lunchtime...oh well :)


All in all I REALLY like EasyLunchboxes, at first I thought it was going to be like any other piece of reusable plastic ware, but its NOT..at all.  This system is perfect for those on a budget and the eco-conscious minded.  And for the price..you can't beat it, plus there is a handy little grommet on there to attach a dietary restriction tag (perfect for Bonnie who is allergic to beef) or just some snazzy "flair".  Jet Pilot has commandeered our EasyLunchboxes System, so no flair for him but you get the idea.
