    My son likes a turkey sandwich or chicken noodle soup in a thermos, cheese sticks, apple slices, and a sweet treat 😊 for his school lunch. I have gone through so many lunch boxes with him last year and came to the conclusion that only a metal box of some kind would maybe last anight entire school year. Have not come across this one yet, excited to try it!

You know the saying: Food is 2 out of these 3 things: either fast, cheap or healthy! ;p I’ve been wanting to take the plunge to purchase the Planetbox, and this blog gave me the incentive. It is a bit pricey, but seems to be worth the investment. Thanks a bunch.
