Happy Earth Day! It seems kind of odd that we dedicate a day to thinking about how we can care for our earth. Like just 1 day! If you family is anything like mine you are contentiously trying to make wise decisions for our earth and your families on a daily basis.
Lately I’ve been feeling bad about all the waste that comes from my son’s lunches. He uses a reusable lunch bag of course, but all of his non-prepackaged snacks go into throw away plastic bags. We’ve gone through several boxes of ziplock bags this school year–and that is just for one child.
I’d been on the hunt for a while for reusable lunch containers for my son and my husband, too. There are loads to choose from online, but they can get pricey. And if I have to pay for shipping…well, I’m kind of cheap. So I was super excited to see these new lunch kits that are now available at Target!
Prêt à Paquet lunch kits are stylish and easy to use. They feature neoprene insulated, leak-proof kits that store a full lunch, salad, snacks and sandwiches on the go. The containers themselves are made of polypropylene and are dishwasher and microwave safe. Additionally, they are designed to fit the ideal food portion recommended by a nutritionist, keeping users smart and healthy about their food choices.
Big Brother is so proud of his new lunch container, and I love that I’m not wasting four ziplock bags everyday. The Husband, too, is looking forward to using these (he’s just got to plan ahead a little so he has time to make a lunch ;))! The one thing that I was a little disappointed about is the fact that the Lunch Kit is not deep enough for me to pack something like a prepackaged applesauce in. If you were to make a nice, fat wrap to take in the long portion of the lunch kit you’d probably need to squish it down a bit to get the lid on.
I did love the fact that I was able to pack Big Brother some freshly washed grapes, that were still a bit wet, along with his other food. When he came home I asked him if his pretzels got at all soggy. He reported that they were nice and dry–just a little sticky because I put them in the same compartment as his honey sandwich. LOL. Oops!
And I love, love the salad container!!! I’m a big salad eater. It is my go-to lunch when I need something quick. The container is big enough for a meal sized salad and I love that it has a separate dressing cup that fits nicely in the lid.
What would make these Prêt à Paquet lunch kits even cooler is if there were places to snap in reusable utensils. Then these kits would really be grab and go.
Prêt à Paquet lunch kits are available in Blue and Black Stripe and Peach Chevron and can be purchased exclusively at Target and Target.com starting at just $9.99.
