Need Lunch Box Recommendations :)

I know this question probably sounds like I'm back in grade school but now that I'm meal prepping, I need a good lunch box to take to work with me. I know some have compartments, some have portion control, some are more insulated. There are just so many to choose from, that I'm a little lost.

I would so appreciate if you all would share the ones you love and even post a picture if you have one! (Also, if you have a link to where to buy it, that would be even better.)

Thanks for helping me with this journey! :)

    Have you checked out bento boxes? They're a cool way to pack little portions

  • You'd laugh heartily at my lunch box.... I often walk into work with a grocery store plastic bag.....packets of tuna, salmon, beef Jerky, Protein bars and shakes inside. It's how I roll at work.

Nothing to bring home.

I found an insulated bag with a zipper top for three bucks at Ross. It has been the best lunch bag I've had.

I also roll with a Piggly Wiggly bag (yes, I am from the South) to work everyday. It is the easy throw away bag at the end of the day. I am forgetful about bringing lunch boxes home. I also have a couple of The compartment box that I got from Amazon. I am almost 8 months post-op so they hold a day of food for me. The only issue I have with them is that I have to wash the individual compartments when I get home. I am lazy about that, so I prefer the easy throw away[emoji1]

I got a cute one at target with an ice pack built in. Granted I have to put it in my freeze but it's pretty thin.

I have a really nice SACHI bag with room for an ice pack and 2 meals and Snacks. I am good for all day when I get to work, and do not need to fight for the refrigerator space. I can't believe how many coworkers put their insulated lunch bags in the fridge closed. anyway. I like to use my real flatware and dishes and a cloth napkin. :-)

mine is this style, but a black and white gingham print. http://www.sachi-bags.com/fun-hoot.html

I've always wanted an old-school Stanley lunchbox with thr round top - but they're noisy as can be to be getting stuff in and out of, and with as often as I'll be eating post sleeve, well, I'm sticking with my insulated bag and collection of teeny containers.

I second the Jaxx, I really like it, use it every day, came with portion control containers and this handy vitamin/supplement container.

I got a waxed canvas lunch bag that looks a lot like a brown paper lunch bag, but is a little bigger, reusable and has a leather closure strap. It was a little overpriced for what it is, but I like the simple and flexible design.

Packit lunch bag. You freeze the whole thing at night. No separate ice packs because it's in the lining of the bag.

Folds up really nicely to bring home and for freezer.
