What would a mother do without those truly incredible containers you pack those lunches, snacks and drinks in throughout the year? You know, those drip-proof, spill-proof, durable, tight lidded ones which can seem impossible to find, but actually do exist!

I’m thrilled about these 10 on-the-go summer snacks. I try to make a bunch of snack recipes (some which are easy to freeze) to make sure I’ve got tons of choices ready to go all summer long. When you have a few favorites ready to go it makes summer time snacking that much easier, and healthier.

  1. I wrap sandwiches in a fabric napkin with a hair tie…. these look amazing! I think an upgrade is needed!

  2. After 2 years of packing lunch, the Click Lock Bento Mealtime Set by Munchkin is my favorite. It’s not as Eco friendly as other brands, but it’s so functional and has held strong through many lunches!!

  3. I love stainless steel containers and anything like ziploc or Rubbermaid that’s dishwasher friendly.

  4. I’m still a fan of the ziploc containers, I want a Planetbox but still can’t justify the cost!

  5. My favorite container to use is a mason jar. So versatile, whether it be for just travel snacks, overnight oatmeal, homemade nut butters, smoothies – the possibilities are truly endless.

  6. I like Mason jars too. And I get those white plastic lids to go on top. They don’t work well in the freezer in case anyone is wondering. Oops. Thanks for all your great recipes!

  7. My oldest is just starting school next year, so I love this list of ideas to look into for school lunches/snacks. Thanks for sharing, everyone. I wish I had some ideas to share, but not yet.

  8. lately, i’ve been using mason jars for storage! they’re food safe, and can handle heat & cold!

  9. I look forward to your daily emails! I try to make all my children’s snacks and meals:) I love Itzy Ritzy reusable snack bags. They have a couple sizes depending on what I give them. Cute machine washable fabrics and also BPA, lead and PVC free! Thank you:)
