It was a happy day that the package arrived at our front door with our Soup to Nuts lunch kit from Citizen PIP.

My little guy, Benjamin was at the door to receive the package, swiftly opened the box to reveal the contents and immediately adopted them for his own.  He is most fascinated with opening the zipper on the lunch box.

Mom is thrilled to know that this whimsically colored set is eco-friendly — the lunch bag made from recycled materials and the containers all lead-free, BPA-free, PVC-free and phthalate-free — rather than made or lined with teflon, plastic or aluminum.  I  have a clear conscience when packing lunch or snacks for both of my boys.

This awesome lunch kit includes:

• • 1 insulated lunch bag with nametag and carabiner that   easily attaches to a backpack
• • 1 stainless steel water bottle
• • 1 stainless steel insulated food jar
• • 4 BPA-free airtight food containers
• • 1 stainless steel fork + spoon set
• • 5 100% cotton napkins

Here’s what all the pieces look like:

We’re back to my desk again. Hey, a lot happens here! Photographed here is my new favorite reusable lunch container, which according to green living products provider, New Wave Enviro Products, is ’seriously safe’. We’ll get to that in a minute. This sassy little container immediately evoked a sense of traditional Indian to-go food storage containers called tiffins. This one may be a simplified version, but simple is good!

I’ve been bringing breakfast, which is either yogurt, fruit and ground flaxseeds or oat bran, in this container for more than a week now and I have to say it is lighter than the glass containers I usually use. As promoted, this container does not offer any additional chemical or metallic taste to my food and it is very easy to clean.

New Wave also claims that these containers are no-leach, no-chemical and non-toxic, and as far as I can tell, they are infinitely reusable!

Price point seems reasonable given that it is reusable potentially forever – $14.99! You can buy through New Wave Enviro Products’ Store Locator  or call to order 800.592.8371.
