It’s hard to find food storage containers that aren’t made of plastic. Especially portable ones for lunches on the go. That’s why I was so excited to see a new vendor at the antique market in my neighborhood. They were selling all sorts of lunch boxes and containers made of stainless steel, glass, and other safer materials.
Here are some of the great finds I got:
- Lunchskins – bags made of frosting piping material. Free of lead, BPA, and phthalates. Dishwasher safe. A great alternative to plastic sandwich bags.
- LunchBots – My sister-in-law gave me one last year and I love it. They make various sizes. I love that they aren’t breakable like many of the glass containers we use at home. Much better for my children’s school lunches.
- Lifefactory sippy cups – These bottles and “cups” are made out of glass, but are protected from breakage by a silicone cover. The sippy cup top is made with plastic #5 (one of the safest options out there) with a silicone stopper to prevent leakage.
We also have To Go Ware stainless steel snack cups that we love. We’ve used them daily for over a year and they still look new.
