I was at my favorite Whole Foods Market at the District a few weeks ago and ran into a colorful little display of Revolution Food products. I was quickly drawn to them because I’m always looking for something healthy to add to my boys lunch boxes. The more I read about the products the more I LOVED! So, I picked up the Squeezable Fruit Mashups which is a brilliant idea of pureed fruit the kids can squeeze right out of the little package. My boys absolutely loved these. They call them their fruit smoothies. You can also freeze them for a fun treat and it even keeps the lunch box cold.
Here are more of their great products, I am so excited to try them all. Here’s what they have to say about their products:
“Our organic lunchbox snacks and sandwich builders make it easy to nourish your kids with yummy balanced nutrition. We like to think of it as Lunchbox Simplicity. Simple for parents to pack, simple for kids to eat and a simple way to maintain a healthy diet at school or at home.”

I loved my mom’s P&J. She made homemade strawberry jam that was to die for and it tasted soooo good!
Sadly, my mom didn’t pack my lunch from what I remember. I just remember getting a hot lunch.
I remember my mom always packing the frozen juice boxes. Isn’t that bad? I know she did more.
I just became a follower!
I remember having a Campbells soup thermos & thinking I was the luckiest girl alive. LOL Its the simple things in life. Hahaha Anyways, being able to take soup to school was a big thing back in the 70’s. Trying to remember things I disliked is a little more difficult since I love food in general. I would have to say back then I wasn’t too fond of tuna. Love it now as an adult but as a child YUCK! Cant wait to go check out the new find at our Whole Foods. Thanks for sharing with us.
Okay, I don’t remember alot of what my mom packed except that I loved ham sandwiches and doritos and would put the doritos on the sandwich. My dad packed me a braunschweiger sandwich when my mom was in the hospital after my brother was born. He didn’t know that I didn’t touch the stuff and felt so bad he got us pizza for supper that night. Great memories!
I always had bologna and cheese sandwiches made by my grandmother. it was always my favorite.
It’s not food related but my favorite thing in my lunchbox was the little notes my mom used to leave me. She had these cute Suzy Zoo (old school!) business card-size notecards and would write on them. I didn’t get one everyday so when I did it was extra special! Can’t wait until I can do that for my kids!!! 🙂
I loved bologna sandwichs when the bread got smashed and the bologna was at room temp. I would never eat that now however!
My mom used to pack me mostly homemade things. Partly because that’s what she did (I come by 0my love of baking honestly), but also because we didn’t have a lot of money.
My favorites things were brownies, lemon squares and pound cake. But I also loved her sandwiches. Really though, it’s a bit embarrassing when your mom packs extra sandwiches because your friends like her egg salad, too!
I finally became a foodie friend! I used to LOVE it when my mom would put a single hershey kiss in my lunchbox. I DID NOT love it so much when she would put the leftovers that I didn’t finish the night before in my lunchbox.
I remember always having a peanut butter and jam sandwich, chips or pretzels and some kind of treat and a piece of fruit!
My mom used to pack a whole tomato to eat like an apple. I loved it!
The Best: The day after my mom would make a roast beef dinner with homemade knot rolls, she would make little sandwiches with the left over meat and rolls. I would ask her to pack extra sandwiches so I could barter with them:)
Gotta love those peanut butter and blackberry jam sandwiches. Yum, love them to this day.
My sister or dad would pack my lunches for me and it was always PB&J with some chips and snacks… the typical lunch 🙂
I used to hate it when my mom would pack cupcakes with frosting in sandwich bags. When you take the cupcake out the frosting is left in the baggie.
My mom made the same lunch everyday. Peanut-butter sandwich, apple, chocolate chip cookies and milk. And on special occasions she would include a card.
I remembered my mom packing the little debbie snacks, like the brownies & cookies. I also loved getting ding dongs, little treats for lunch made you feel cool!
I always got PB&J too. I loved it and still do!
a turkey sandwich!
Mom always packed simple yet very healthy lunches…usually including fruits and veggies with dips, a sandwich, and a yogurt for dessert. Pretty simple.
FAVORITE MEMORY: Mom was out of town a few days and put dad in charge of lunch duty. Big surprise when I opened my lunch pail to find a can of Campbell’s tomato soup with a can opener on the side!!! Boy, was I hungry when I got home!
My mom would do pretty much the same thing everyday. PB&J, an Orange, Applesauce, and a Little Debbie dessert. I would beg for chocolate milk in my thermos which I had to remember to shake up really good before drinking because the chocolate always settled at the bottom.
I’m a blog follower and now a foodie friend. My favorite lunch box item…Do you remember the kids lunch boxes with the thermos that came inside the box? I always had one and loved it…especially when it was cold enough for my mom to start filling the thermos with warm spaghetti-o’s. Yummo.
My mom always packed a sandwich, an apple and a pack of gushers! the gushers were my favorite! 🙂
My Mom used to pack pretzel sticks with ranch dressing. I loved it and so did all my friends!
Thanks Mom!

My dad actually started packing lunches for my mom, sister and I to take to school (mom was a teacher) when I was in 5th grade. It would always involve a sandwich, chips, fruit of some kind, and maybe cookies. Once we started getting involved in after school sports, there was ususally some popcorn, granola bars, etc. to be used as our snack between school and practice. On game days, he sometimes even packed a cooler with extra goodies for the post-game ride home. He’s a pretty awesome dad!!
Worst was without a doubt those bologna sandwiches that were always too warm and mushy by lunchtime. Best is a toss up between PB&J or the Hostess fruit pies that showed up once in a blue moon. Loved those! = )
Animal crackers, sandwiches, apples, those cracker sandwiches, anything easy to make and grab.
I remember squished PB&J, NOT a favorite of mine! I think I actually liked school hot lunch better.
I never really brought a lunch, I always had school lunchs (blech!) but when my mom would pack my lunches I would always get Gushers! I LOVED those babies! I still get them every once in a while just as a pick me up!
I remember my mom putting special notes in my lunchbox–to eat oh I can’t remember…I really liked pudding.
my mom use to pack us tomato sandwiches. They are gross. All it is is tomatoes on bread with Mayo. Considering the fact that I HATE Mayo and dislike soggy bread, they were disgusting. Maybe she did this cuz we have such a huge family (17 kids), but seriously? pp&j can’t be that much more expensive 🙂 Fun Fun memories!
The best was Spaghetti-Os in my little blue thermos!!
I love all your recipes!! I always had plain lunches. Just a sandwich (usually jam) and either an apple or carrots. I always wanted a cool lunch like some of my friends had. Oh well I survived. I think these products are cool and would make lunch fun! Wish they were around when I needed them.
Marshmallows and chocolate chips (or chunks of a big chocolate bar). We all loved it and seriously, I still enjoy it these days with my 3 year old 🙂
