Did you know that, on average, every child who brings their lunch to school creates and estimated 67 pounds of lunch packaging trash a year? yuck. It makes me want to lose my own lunch a little, thinking of all of those little zip lock baggies and juice boxes being tossed into a landfill 'till the end of time.
Or maybe you too watched "Food Inc" or "Super Size Me", and swore if you could do one thing a day for your child's health, it would be to nourish them.... with actual food.
Go Green Lunch Box are a product developed by an eco conscience, mother of 2 with a great eye for style. Locally, these lunch boxes are seen on just about every kid going to and from school. They've become a total must have, hit in Manhattan Beach.

Red/orange/yellow pepper slices with hummus. Tortilla or naan role with turkey, cranberry sauce and mayo. Ginger cookies and whatever fruit is the best in season!
I'll take the camo lunch box for my sister who is a fire and police dispatcher and works 12 hour shifts!! It would hold everything she needs for two meals a day. What a great product and great giveaway. Thanks
Little's favorite school lunch is sprinkle noodles. Begins with leftover pasta (any kind will do) really quickly in the morning I warm up some olive oil on the stove toss in a little garlic, salt, pepper and italian seasoning. I toss the noodles in the oil & herbs to warm them and top with a little freshly grated parm and off it goes into a thermos.
ok, first of all, I didn't even consider to include all of you eco and health conscience, adults~!
which brings me to another reason that I insist on packing a lunch for my kids....did you watch Food Inc? shiver. disGUSTING.
So yes, thank you to all of you adults who have emailed me and who are doing good to their bodies while helping out our sweet mother earth.
This lunch box is so cute!
My latest lunch ideas are:
grapes and cheese on skewers
apple butter/cream cheese sandwiches on homemade banana bread
fruit smoothies in a thermos
Enjoy and thanks, Megan
