I picked up some of these containers by StayFit the other day and I gotta say, they work pretty well.  And they’re quite inexpensive.

You see, we try to send healthy lunches to school for the boys, but invariably, I hear My cheese was too hot. or My pasta was cold. They say other stuff too, but I try to tune them out.  Seems like they don’t like when the hot stuff is cold or the cold stuff is hot, but really, nothing seems to keep their lunch items at the proper temperature.

So they have PB&J every day.

And they’ve rebelled.  As would I.

So, I got these containers that have liquid in the lids that you freeze and slap some cold stuff in there, like yogurt, and it tries to keep it cold until your child eats it.  Well, it actually works.

The only downside is… you have to hand wash the lids.  I consider that a small price to pay to keep the boys from eating bacteria-laden food.

This same company also makes a container for hot foods that you can microwave before you pack their lunch and this salad container.  Pick some up today if you have munchkins that like to munch.
