A sandwich wrapped in foil is so yesterday. Today, urban picnickers and zero-waste fans bring their home-made snacks and purchases to ensure a completely clear conscience. Beeswax wraps and compostable carry nets are here to stay – and are genuine, everyday alternatives to plastic. Bento boxes for the office, inspired by the Japanese lunch carrier, are typically divided into several compartments. These make a great addition to more traditional snack and sandwich boxes. We also want more insulated mugs and mason jars in our lives, as a further statement for sustainable living. And what’s more, exciting new lunch boxes for healthy food and takeaway transporters boast more features ever, in on-trend colors. Discover your new favorites – to go.
Nowadays, there’s a takeaway box for every fresh food and every snacking situation. Bread-shaped boxes by Tatay can telescopic to the length of your sandwich baguette, while drinking flasks by Fratelli Guzzini pack extra flat, so they’re ideal companions for your mountain hike. We love this fruit-and-veg pot from Mepal, with its built-in drainer for rinsing your healthy treats in water. A handy click-together fork is included so you can keep your hands clean. It’s great that so many of these solutions for eating on the go are available in blue. This on-trend color’s refreshing and energizing effects are in high demand.
Hello, meal prep! Goodbye, plastic!
Are you preparing meals ahead of time? It’s a trend among sports enthusiasts and office workers, but in fact, preparing and cooking in advance is nothing new. You can make healthy food for several days or even a whole week at a time, so your favorite lunches are all ready to take to work each day. This saves time, money, and of course, a lot of disposable packaging. Once you have the essential lunch boxes, glass jars, and pots, you can reuse them again and again. There is a wide range of alternative materials available that can hold their own in terms of keeping food fresh and leakproof.
