One of my personal favourites is the brightly coloured and BPA free range from Goodbyn. The Goodbyn Hero Lunch Box is separated into three compartments all under the one lid (yes! no hunting the playground for container lids) and includes two leak proof dipper pots to fit within, perfect for yoghurt, dip or to house loose sultanas – whatever needs to be contained! Buy the Goodbyn Hero Lunch Box, priced $21.95, from Where Did You Get That?

An Apple and Mint lunch bag is just as much a feast for the eyes as well as holding a feast for lunch! Easy on the eye and easy to clean, the awesome linen outer is coated to make cleaning and wiping over an absolute cinch. We love that the cooling panel delivers up to eight hours of cooling and is housed in a separate zipped compartment keeping it from making any contact with your food. There’s a plethora of designs available from limited edition watermelons, to flamingos and spots and all in between, they’re priced $32.95 and can be found at Apple and Mint.

For taking pureed fruit, smoothies or yoghurt you can’t go past reusable pouches and we love the super fun designs of Squooshi Reusable Food Pouches. Available in two sizes, a pair of large animal styled pouches will set you back only $9.95 and you can pop them in the dishwasher and fill them over and over! For older children not partial to a menagerie in their lunch box, there are also geometric prints. Squooshi Reusable Food Pouches can be bought directly from Aussie Bubs.

Who doesn’t love a bit of retro groove with their lunch? The Insulated Lunch Box range at My Green Lunch Box has it aplenty, for adults or kids who need to tote their food. Lunch boxes are insulated to keep their contents cool and fresh and are nice and deep to fit the biggest of apples. I adore the coated linen look with cool graphics emblazoned on top and coordinating zips – it’s just enough tizz for older kids to have some fun, but remain cool in the lunchtime crowd. There are seven designs and they’re priced $34.95 each directly from My Green Lunch Box.

Reusable lunch wares have come such a long way in a short time and we love the innovative Sili Squeeze. It’s a clever blend of a squeeze bottle and a pouch, perfect for holding frozen smoothies to defrost in the lunchbox for a quick morning tea snack – just shake and squeeze! Available in four colours and three sizes, the 118ml size is priced $22.95 and can be purchased at Sili Australia.

Bento boxes are very popular in the playground and while they’re indeed cute, keeping track of containers, lids and bento bands can be a task in itself.

A removable tray has five half cup capacity wells for healthy portions of protein, vegetables, fruit, dairy and grains. Clean up is super easy too, it can all go straight into the dishwasher!
