New semester, new routine — and let’s be honest, mornings can feel like chaos. You’re rushing to get everyone ready, find missing notebooks, and pack lunch before the school bell rings. That’s where one simple system can make a big difference.
With just four sizes of the Durbl Fold-up Containers (400ml, 600ml, 900ml, 1200ml), you can plan and pack a full week of nutritious, no-waste lunches that are easy for kids to carry and even easier for parents to prep.
Let’s break it down — five school days, five easy lunch ideas, and zero single-use plastic.
Monday
Start the week light and colorful
Mini veggie cheese wraps (600ml)Whole wheat tortillas filled with sautéed peppers and shredded mozzarella, pan-toasted and sliced.
Carrot sticks & amp; corn chips (400ml)Crunchy, dippable, and snackable.
Tip: Durbl containers are non-divided. To separate sauces or snacks, use paper cups, silicone dividers, or condiment jars inside.
Tuesday
Leftovers, reimagined
Fried rice with eggs & peas (900ml)Use last night’s rice, add scrambled eggs, diced carrots, and green peas — all in one hearty box.
Apple slices + crushed almonds (400ml)Soak apples in lemon water to keep fresh; top with chopped nuts. Make extra and split into two containers if your child prefers lighter portions.
Wednesday
Midweek power salad day
Quinoa veggie salad (1200ml) Layers of cooked quinoa, corn, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and grilled chicken. Dress with olive oil + lemon juice before sealing.
Bonus: Small sauce jars fit snugly inside. Durbl containers are leak-resistant for wet dressings too.
Thursday
Snack-style, lunch-worthy
Cheesy bean tortilla bites (600ml)Tortillas filled with black beans and shredded cheese, baked until crisp and sliced into triangles.
Mandarin orange segments (400ml)Pre-peeled and packed, easy to grab and go.
All containers are fridge- and freezer-safe, great for cold items and yogurt-based snacks.
Friday
End on a high note with kid-favorite flavors
Pizza rice bowl (900ml)Stir cooked rice with tomato sauce, top with cheese, pepperoni slices, and veggies — bake 8 minutes, cool and pack.
Strawberries + yogurt (in separate jar) (400ml)Pair with a spoon for a sweet finish.
Durbl Packing Tips
No dividers = more space, more freedom. Use internal paper cups or liners for texture separation if needed.
Folds down after eating — saves backpack space.
Food-grade silicone, leak-resistant, dishwasher & microwave safe.
Color-coded organization: Use different sizes/colors for mains, sides, and snacks — kids learn to pack independently too.

I had the kind with a plastic slider on the top - I hated using them & they didn't seal well and things got freezer burn quickly. These seem to seal much better and are much easier to use, and the silicone being really clear so you can see the contents easily is very helpful too. You can fit a lot more in them than you think, I've been using the snack size more than I thought I would. I wish they would offer the quart size individually - I don't understand why you can get every size except that one. Definitely recommend them
These are great, but I wish they would offer more buying options. They only come in a 3-pack and they don't offer just the size you want individually. I am loving using these for work lunches and that they are safe to heat up in the microwave. They seal well and are heavy duty enough to be sturdy, but don't feel heavy to cart around.
I bought these to stop buying 1-time use Zip-Loc bags. They aren't quite as convenient to use or store, but overall MUCH better. I will buy more. I also bought another top brand but I am sticking with Durbl.
