Lunch gear we wouldn't hesitate to buy again


It's hard for us to believe, but at this point in our parenting journey we're becoming "veteran" daycare and school lunch packers!

A part of us wants to do the math on exactly how many lunches that adds up to... and part of us really doesn't want to know. Let's just say the number is big.

And with all that experience comes some recommendations for gear that's worth the money. Because you don't need to learn the hard way.

We already did that for you.

LUNCH BOX

We've absolutely fallen in love with Canadian company Little K's lunch boxes! They're stainless steel with a removable silicone liner in the lid, dishwasher friendly, and leak proof! This is a lunch box that's going to endure for years and years and years.

p.s. Since we love their products so much, when the owner Kat reached out to ask whether we'd help her create a mini lunch guide, we said yes! With any lunch gear purchase between now and the end of September, you'll receive a free copy that includes advance exclusive access to some new lunchbox recipes we developed. Our kids have been asking for these recipes on repeat!

WATER BOTTLE

Easy to wash and not too heavy - is that too much to ask for? This water bottle from Owala has a free pour spout, which means no difficult straw or mechanisms to try and keep clean!

ICE PACK

As dietitians food safety is always top of mind for us! Keeping cold foods cold is a must! These ice packs are the length and width of a typical lunch box, but still nice and slim to fit inside.

LUNCHES FOR LITTLES

Okay, one shameless little plug for our own lunch packing guide!

That's all on our end! If you're gearing up for back-to-school season, just know we're cheering you on. And, we're in it with you!

In health and happiness,
