Eben loves snack time, it doesn’t matter if it is at school, at home or in the car, he is all about a snack. {Haven’t I said this before?} When he gets home from school, the first thing he does is run to his bedroom to pick out a book and then asks, “Mom, can I have a snack?” Like clockwork, everyday. He likes a variety of foods for snack time, fresh fruit, nuts, granola bars, crackers or dried fruit. When I send a snack to school or pack one to go with him on an after school excursion, I will only use containers that are safe and reusable.
I recently found Kids Konserve, a fabulous company owned by two mothers, Lynn Julian and Chance Claxton. These two women decided to set an example of conservation for their children by providing products that make lunch and snack time waste fee. Their product line is simple and wonderful. It includes everything that you will need to pack a waste free lunch or snack everyday.
Eben and I received the green food cozy, which is a wonderful alternative to plastic baggies. It is a circle with a fun design that you can put your snack or sandwich inside of by wrapping it and securing with the Velcro. Eben loves to put the goodies in the food cozy and fold it up. We also received a water bottle which has a clip that is perfect for hooking to a back pack, keeping plenty of water on hand to help your child stay hydrated all day. The water bottles are stainless steel and come in fun designs as well.
My favorite items are definitely the SnakPak and the thermos. The SnakPak is a great way to pack an assortment of snacks for on the go, at school or after school and everything fits perfectly into a little back pack. I love the thermos because you can pack your child different types of hot and cold meals for school. Some of Eben’s favorites are lasagna, organic macaroni and cheese, noodles and homemade soups.
Does your little one love a good snack? Have you been looking for a great alternative to plastic baggies and water bottles? If so, you should definitely check out Kids Konserve, enter coupon code sweetgreens at checkout and receive 15% off through October 31, 2009.
Kids Konserve has also been so lovely to offer ONE of my readers a 20 oz. Stainless Bottle.

My favorite product from the Kids Konserve product catalog is the NESTRING TRIO – stackable lunch containers. I love that they are non leaching, lead and BPA free.
I probably couldn’t decide on a favorite snack of all time, but I love roasted beets with an impromptu sauce I make usually involving sour cream, feta and lemon!
your blog has been a big help. we have significantly reduced waste made by our family. in one of your posts, you featured reusable cloth snack bags and i made a couple of cloth snack bags for my family’s use. 🙂
kidskonserve have wonderful earth friendly products but i’m sure my little girl would love the butterfly lunch kit. 🙂
I love KidsKonserve! I found them a few months ago and bookmarked them for when my kid (now in-utero) is old enough for school! hah For now, I’ve got enough pyrex containers to manage my lunch waste-free, but their stuff is great! I love the butterfly waste-free lunch kit, since a) it’s cute, and b) it comes with a full set of supplies for a waste-free lunch! 🙂
This is so cool. My little guy and gal would love this. I follow already
I am a happy subscriber to Sweet Greens. I love the stainless steel nesting containers from Kids Konserve.
