Meal prep. It can be a scary thing to think about, but it has been a game changer when it comes to work lunches. It just makes my week run so much smoother, and I feel like I have my life somewhat in order, haha! I typically like to reuse my bags from previous school years, but I definitely have to update my lunch box at least every two years (and sometimes every year). After a lot of trial and error, I think have perfected the art of finding the perfect lunch accessories!
I have to say I love this lunch box! It is so spacious and has so many fantastic reviews for good reason. I like to pack snacks as well as a full lunch, and I love that I can fit everything into one bag!
As far as my actual lunch meal goes, I have been loving the Bentgo boxes for a few years now! It has nicely portioned sections for the different parts of your meal, and it’s very convenient to clean as well!
On days when I opt for a salad, I like to use these Bentgo containers. They are large enough to fit what I need without being bulky, and I love they they come with a set of cutlery. They are easy to stack as well!
Speaking of cutlery, I love this cutlery + straw set! I hate bringing my flatware from home in my lunchbox. Something always seems to get lost. When I found this set, I knew I needed it for the convenience and to save my flatware from being lost forever.
This little water bottle is so perfect for the side of my lunchbox. It fits right in the side pocket and keeps things cold till lunch. Sometimes I like to have an extra water or tea for lunch, so I just toss it in here!
I love these reusable baggies! They are so much better for the environment than constantly using plastic baggies, and they end up saving me a lot of money. I love this big variety pack. I use these for everything- not just lunch! My kids use them too!
These may seem simple, but they are anything but! I love these ice packs because they truly stay cold and keep my food cold, but I think my favorite part about them is that they are super thin and easy to pack! They fit right in my lunchbox even when it’s packed to the brim.
Last but not least, we have these hand wipes. I always try to wash my hands before I eat, but as we all know, sometimes as teacher, you have about 5 minutes to eat by the time you finally sit down to lunch! That’s why I keep a handful of these in my lunchbox and in my desk. They are antibacterial, moisturizing, and smell really good!
What are your lunch time must-haves? I would love to know if there is something I’m missing! Let me know below, and happy snacking!
