MOMables & Easy Lunch Boxes, a perfect combination

Read this article on how much money you can save by packing healthy lunches and then come back here to read my opinion on MOMables and Easy Lunch Boxes.

Welcome back!

I have previously introduced you to MOMables and told you about our first week using the program. I can say with all honesty, if I had a young child in school, I would be using this to pack their lunch every day and NOT having them eat school lunches. As I previously told you, and for those of you who may be new here and didn’t see my older posts, I use this as more of “WIFEables”. My Hubby works awkward hours so he is at work for both lunch & dinner. I had been packing him the same ham & cheese sandwich for both meals, every day. Boring! Now, he gets excited to see what is in his lunch.

Recently I received a package in the mail that made packing my Hubbys lunch & dinner even easier! Now, not only do I have a list of a healthy variety of foods to pack for him each week, I have the perfect lunch box!

This Easy Lunch Box makes everything portion controlled, as my Hubby likes it! It makes packing his meals “green” without having to use pastic bags that just get thrown away. This makes me very happy! I am not wasting money on something just to throw it in the trash! Both of the containers pictures fit perfectly into the lunch box with an icepack.

Ideally, I will need to get 2 more containers. Being as I use both daily and Hubby never gets home before 8pm, the last thing I want to do every night or first thing in the morning is wash them. I do take the time anyway. It is so worth it to have my morning meal packing simplified so much.

My one problem with them was that his applesauce, when the container was tipped, would leak into other areas. I just put a small piece of plastic wrap over that section & problem solved.

As I’ve said, Hubby loves the MOMables meals & now loves his Easy Lunch Box.

Win win for us!!

*I was given a complimentary subscription to MOMables to try for our family. I was also given the Easy Lunch Box to try by MOMables. I was not compensated in any other way. This post is my opinion alone, for the benefit of others looking for healthy, easy meal packing options.

 

Pay it forward with MOMables – only 10 days left!

I’ve talked to you before about MOMables and how much we love using the program. I will keep this short & sweet as to not have you get bored with me.


I am still using MOMables to pack meals for my Hubby for work. He actually has informed me that I’m not allowed to stop using it! He has really loved the variety throughout the week in addition to it being such a wider variety than the ham & cheese sandwich he used to get for 2 meals every day. He’s also thrilled with the portion control! My son is upset that he doesn’t need packed lunches for school & feels like he’s getting ripped off!

MOMables – A week in review

Last week I shared with you that my family received a complimentary subscription to MOMables to try out. When we did our weekly grocery shopping we took along the shopping list that came with 2 weeks worth of menus. This made shopping easy {The Hubby’s lunch part anyway. Dinner is another story} We only came across one thing he said he didn’t want so we skipped that one. 
Monday Hubby is home & when lunch time rolled around he decided to try out something from the menu in advance. It was a hit! He told me he wanted the same thing in his lunch the next day for work. We have tried several different meals for him this week and he was very pleased with every one of them.

We do stray a bit from the exact menu based on needing to pack 2 meals a day for him most days. We also need to accommodate that I am feeding a Hubby, not a child. 

We are extremely happy with our experience! I highly recommend MOMables to anyone who needs to pack lunch for their children, spouse or even for lunches at home. The variety of foods have been very well accepted by my Hubby. He is really enjoying that I’m packing him different things not only every day but for each meal of the day. It is so easy to just swap something out if it is not a favorite food or if you have an allergy to accommodate. 


Here is his week in pictures:

Tuesday: 1 meal due to a provided lunch at work.
Wednesday: 2 meals {He did bring home a couple snacks}
Thursday: 2 meals {1 pickle & half carrots came home}
This is also Thursday’s. I thought you should see that I actually do pack it in a lunch box & I didn’t include his note in the 1st picture. He gets a note every day!!
Friday: 2 meals. 
We can’t wait to see what this next week will bring for his lunch box!! Between a new weeks worth of menu items to try and those we still haven’t tried from the first two weeks, it should be a great week of food for him!


MOMables Introduction

MOMables is a Mom’s dream come true. 

How often do you find yourself digging through your kitchen trying to scrape together something, anything to stuff in your childs lunchbox? 
Do you tend to send the same boring foods day after day?
Does your child bring back home at least half of what you packed for them?
Do they come home complaining they are hungry because they tossed their lunch in the trash?

MOMables will cure all of that for you. It’s a super simple program to sign up with. You can subscribe for 3, 6 or 12 months. {Bonus: All subscriptions in October will go towards the cancer treatment of a young boy named Joseph Scott} Once you join you will be provided with a weekly menu full of a variety of healthy choices in just the right portions. Each recipe allows for substitutions if you have a picky eater, food allergies or other dietary restrictions. Once you have looked over your menu for the week, they even give you a shopping list of exactly what you will need to buy for that weeks meals. I don’t think it could get any easier. Well, maybe if they were going to come do the shopping and packing for you but, we do live in reality. 

I am actually going to be using MOMables menu in a slightly different way. The school my son attends provides lunch daily so I do not have a need to pack for him. My Hubby however, I pack him both lunch and dinner 4 days a week due to his schedule. Saturdays he goes in earlier and I am too lazy to get up and pack him a lunch so he must eat out EVERY Saturday. Luckily he is home in time for dinner that day. I pack the same exact things in his lunchbox for both meals every day. Boring! I also am really bad about packing him healthier choices and worse with portion control! 

This weekend as we are making our grocery list I am going to print out my MOMables shopping list and take it along. Next week, starting on Tuesday I will be packing according to the plan. Obviously, with him needing 2 meals a day, I will be alternating the weeks items to each be used more than once. I will NOT pack two of the same meals the same day. I will do my best to take pictures of his meals each day & report back to you at the end of the week how it has all worked out for us. Was it too time consuming? Did it simplify my morning? How did he feel about the variety of foods? Did he find them tasty? How much will I have to adjust the portion size to meet his needs? Was it cost effective? 

If you have any other questions about how the program is working for us, please leave me a comment and ask! I will be sure to answer it in my follow up post. 

Have you yourself used MOMables? If so, please let me know. However, I would love for you to save your thoughts on how it works, or doesn’t work, for your family until my follow up. That way my opinions are not tainted. We can chat and compare notes on that follow up post!!

I promise to come back and give you our 100% honest opinion about the program. We are really looking forward to trying it.




While I was not compensated for this post, I received a complimentary subscription to try out for my family.
