Rubbermaid LunchBlox Review and Giveaway

Natalie starts first grade in two weeks and I've been thinking a lot about ways to send healthy, tasty lunches with her to school...without ending up with soggy sandwiches, lukewarm veggies, and mushed fruit. Rubbermaid came to my rescue again with their new LunchBlox kit...and they're giving away kits to three lucky Serenity Now readers! Keep reading for details, and to enter!

The LunchBlox Sandwich Kit is exactly what it sounds like: a building block set of containers to keep your lunch cool. It comes with 2 snack containers, 1 side container, 1 sandwich container (fits regular and specialty bread), and 1 Medium Blue Ice(TM). They also offer separate kits!

Things I like about LunchBlox Sandwich Kit:

• Works for an adult or a child's lunch. 

You could easily use a small snack container for dips (peanut butter, ranch, avacado, salsa, etc) or crackers. Tired of sandwiches? Use the sandwich container for chicken and add rice and veggies to the side container. There are all sorts of combinations!

• They really do stack well.

I was skeptical as to how the containers would stay stacked in a lunch bag, but each piece has a lid that allows other pieces to stack on top of it, and a "lip" on the bottom that fits with those lids. Still very easy for a small child to pull off, but locked enough that you won't have containers jumbling around in your bag.

• Measurements included!

If you keep track of your portions, you'll love the LunchBlox because each container is clearly marked with the appropriate measurements (cups, oz, or ml). 

• Microwave, Dishwasher, and Freezer Safe (and BPA-free)

• Blue Ice (TM) keeps your meal cool on the go!

The ice pack (included with the kit) isn't any old ice pack. It has the same little stackable cut-outs to ensure that whatever you stack on top of it stays in place. I tried it with the sandwich container, and it stayed put:

If you're on the hunt for on-the-go lunch containers, the LunchBlox is the perfect way to save space in your bag and keep your meal cool and fresh! It is currently available for sale at Target, Rubbermaid.com, Kroger, Kmart, Safeway, Bi-Lo, Winn-Dixie, HEB, other grocery stores, and select WalMart store. 

Rubbermaid is giving away 3 LunchBlox kits!
