I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Rubbermaid. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. #BloxOff #IC

School is back in session, which means I’m back to packing lunches for the kids. My third child just started Kindergarten, so now I’m up to making three lunches every day. It really isn’t so bad, especially when I make a weekly meal plan. I also use Rubbermaid LunchBlox storage containers because they make it easy for me to send all sorts of school lunch items to school with the kids. Nothing gets crushed or smooshed, and foods stays cool with a reusable Blue Ice® tray.

Each LunchBlox kit includes colorful food storage containers that snap together so they fit neatly in a lunch bag or lunch box. The snap-in Blue Ice® tray keeps lunches chilled.

I send a variety of foods to school with my kids. Some days they bring foods that need to be heated in the classroom microwave. LunchBlox are microwave-safe, so my kids can heat their lunch right in the container. LunchBlox are also 100% BPA free, freezer and dishwasher safe.

5 Days of School Lunch Ideas for Kids with Rubbermaid LunchBlox! 

Sometimes I hit a road block trying to come up with ideas for school lunches that my kids will actually eat. It helps me to see what kinds of things other parents send to school with their kids. So I decided to share 5 days of my kids’ lunches with you, to hopefully inspire you with ways to pack your child’s Rubbermaid LunchBlox.

I try to make sure each lunch contains a fruit, a salad or vegetable, whole grains, dairy and a protein. Remember I’m packing lunches for three kids, so there’s no time for fancy cut out shapes or creative food art. I’m keeping it as simple as possible with help from LunchBlox food storage containers.

    I would love to win this as my daughter brings her lunch to school everyday and this is a perfect size for her to take.

  5. Betty C says

    I would love to win these because I take my lunch to work every day and I don’t really have a decent container so it’s usually just in a plastic grocery bag. This would certainly be an improvement.

  11. Amanda Alvarado says

    I pack dd’s lunch every day and this would be great to have so I only have one container instead of 2-3 to wash every day! Plus it’s less for her to lose! LOL

  15. Melissa S says

    I pack my sons lunch most days and this looks like a great lunch kit I like the way the blue ice can be stacked easily.

      I like the flat blue ice, too, Melissa! It doesn’t take up a lot of extra space in the lunchbox, which is great because I usually have it packed to the hilt with lunch food, snacks and a water bottle. LOL

    My Grand-daughter is going to preschool this year. I am looking for easy ways to make her lunch experience better.

  17. Audra O'Hara says

    My daughter takes her lunch to school, so I’d like these for her. I like that they are microwave and freezer safe.

      Hi Felicita, I’m so happy to hear you like the lunch ideas. Thanks so much for telling me. I hope your son has an awesome 2nd grade year! –Nicole

    These would come in so so handy, having two kids in school who love containers and these are made especially for them, they would be insanely happy!

      This is our 2nd year using these containers, and I have added a couple more kits to our collection for this year. These containers last and last even after a whole school year of being washed in the dishwasher every single day, and are really great for the kids lunches. –Nicole
