Take snacks on the go with Yummi Pouch cloth snack bags. These snack bags are lined with a moisture resistant interior and decorated with colorful prints. Perfect for crackers, chips, and dry snacks. These snack bags are thinner than other brands I have tried, but I like the feel of the material, and so far they are holding up great. The snack bags are BPA-free, phthalate-free, PVC-free, and lead-free nylon, which is a must in our house. The manufacture states you can wash in them in the dishwasher or washing machine, but I just wash them with soap and hot water, and place them on a rack to dry. I have placed other brands in the dishwasher but don't feel like they last as long, so with this brand I haven't done that (yet). I also have never placed them in the washing machine.
Snack bags are very universal, and can be used for so much more than just snacks. I also use them for keeping crayons and markers together when we are on the go, and they are also perfect for traveling. When you travel you can use them for cosmetics, jewelry, and even as a mini wallet to put in your pocket; the options for these bags are endless. HappyGreenBaby highly recommends the Yummi Pouch Snack Bags. Take a look at their other sizes and colors, and BUY HERE.

It's July, and the weather is close to 100 degree's where we live and we are head deep in summer fun! (Okay, it is no longer July...but I couldn't finish my post with all the summer fun we are having PLUS I really don't want school to start, so I'm dragging my feet a little...) anyway, obviously the LAST thing on my mind is back-to-school. Well, that was until I realized school is back in session (were we live ) in one month (now, 13 days...YIKES). Yes, 13 days. NOT. READY. But ready or not it is on its way.
The beginning of the school year is the perfect opportunity to start school off on the right foot. Here are a few items to help you make the perfect eco-friendly choices when choosing back-to-school supplies!
Are you tired of using tupperware and other plastics? Do you feel like there are no other options for packing food for school snacks & lunch? Well, keep reading! We have answers for you.
One of our favorite brands we use all year long for lunch boxes/snack containers is Eco Lunchbox.
LOVE.THEM.
Their BPA-free eco lunchboxes are made out of high-quality, food-grade stainless steel. They have stainless steel bentos, lunch boxes & artisan lunch-bags that are plastic-free, waste-free, BPA-free, PVC-free, petroleum-free and vinyl-free. Healthy for people and the planet! Below are our top three favorites from Eco Lunchbox. Oh, did we mention they are all dish-washer safe? Yep! Another bonus!
Container measures 5 1/4 inches square and 1 7/8 inches deep. Great for all different types of snacks, including fruit, crackers and cheese. The ideas are endless.
This lunch box measures 4 inches wide, 5 1/2 inches long and 2 3/4 inches high. The bottom layer is 1 inch deep and fits a whole sandwich on sliced bread. The top layer is 1 1/2 inches deep and fits cut fruit, dry snacks, pasta or salad. The small inner box, which contains 1/2 cup for wet foods, is good for applesauce, cut fruit and salads, but be warned, its pressure fitting stainless steel lid is not 100% leak-proof because no plastic is used.
The large oval lunchbox measures 6 1/2 inches long by 5 inches wide and 2 inches tall. It fits two halves of a sandwich stacked with room for sides. Also great for pastas, salads and other leftovers.
The Lunchbox set includes a small stainless steel cup (3 1/2" diameter) with a no-leak, BPA-free plastic lid for sauces, dressings, yogurt, applesauce or other wet items. The cup fits inside the larger oval box or can be used separately. This one is my personal favorite.
Okay, onto more ideas...
Lunch Skins: Another favorite! So many ways to use them, not just for school lunch. Whether you care about our environment, saving money, eating healthy, or looking stylish, LunchSkins are the answer to your plastic baggie blues -- they offer an environmental benefit (reduce landfill waste), a practical benefit (they can be used hundreds of times and save you money over the long run), and a healthy choice (food tastes better in a pastry bag). All Lunchskins are certified food-safe fabric, hand sewn in the USA, dishwasher-safe, quick-drying, lightweight cotton fabric, lead-free, bpa-free and phthalate-free. I use these for all sorts of things...like keeping things organized in my purse, stickers ready to go for the church bag, crayons/markers on the go... the list really is endless.
Reuseable "Big" Bag: What to put in these sub-sized 8 x 7 inch lunchskins besides a large sandwich? They are also perfect for packing snacks for a road trip, and of course, the perfect size for a slice of left over pizza.
