The Easy Lunchbox System-one word. Yum.

So, now that Energizer has outed me, I can move on to the good stuff.

One of the things having an insulin pump that looks like this

does is makes you really consious of how many carbs you’re putting into your body. What you have to do is carb count and then adjust the pump accordingly. Sounds like a pain, right? Not more than taking a ton of shots a day!

I try and eat as low carb as I possibly can, and it’s hard! Especially when you’re working at a school where there’s no time to really breathe. Like my old schedule. You want to grab anything that comes your way, and it’s not healthy!
When the kids come around with cupcakes and cookies for birthdays, you willingly grab, because when you really haven’t eaten, you are sooooooooo inclined to grab bad stuff.

So, I decided something HAD to be done. Hardcore.

I did some exploring and found that the bento box system I always wanted to try was one of the best things out there for low carb eating. Portion controlled, contained, and CUTE!

I’m all for cute.

That’s when I found Easy Lunchboxes and saw their awesome stuff.

These systems meet my Bento box style criteria, plus add easy to clean and easy to keep cool! No small feat in the sauna that Upstate NY becomes in the summer!

So, I began my quest to try them and see what they were really about.

The system starts with a cooler bag

What you can’t see from this picture is the grommit on the side for identification tags! It’s so easy to make the lunch bag your own by attaching identification to that little built in hole! No more broken zippers from using your ID as a pull!

and then adds reusable, dishwasher and microwave safe compartmentalized, lidded containers!

which hold a ton of stuff. The day I took this photo, my lunch consisted of:
Salad
garlic dill cheese curds (oh, my. SOOOOO yummy!)
Grilled chicken for my salad
mandarin oranges
and Mandarin orange sparking water
as well as my salad dressing and an ice pack to keep it all cool.

see?

and yes, this all fit in that awesome cooler bag!

Wow. I was impressed that it all fit! I had my doubts…but oh, was it joyful that it all fit!

wanna see the inside of the containers?

Ok!
