Being new to Australia I have only recently found out about Nude Food Day, a great initiative from Nude Food Movers and Nutrition Australia. Nude Food Day takes place throughout October and is a nationwide initiative developed to encourage kids and parents to eat well, live well, and eliminate all unnecessary packaging and wrapping that goes into school. Essentially, kids bring their food – NUDE! I love this not only because we are reducing waste and helping the planet but also because it encourages a healthier lifestyle.
I received a range of products from Nude Food Movers in exchange for writing this review. Although I was gifted the products, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Nude Food Movers offer a really great range of reusable plasticware including lunch boxes, sandwich and snack boxes, yoghurt movers and stackable snack tubes. They have something for every type of meal and make packing nude lunches very easy.
My favourite container has to be the yoghurt mover. Yoghurts targeted to kids are often full of sugar and I have always liked making my own. I like to buy a big tub of natural greek yoghurt and add a range of different fruits. It is healthier, cheaper and better for the environment. I love the removable gel insert, which can be frozen to keep the yoghurt cool all day.
One of the products that I have used the most is the snack tubes. You can mix and match them and they are perfect for on the go. Mine permanently live at the bottom of my buggy and I fill them with a range of veggies, fruits, dips, crackers, dried fruit and nuts (for myself as well as the boys!)
Finn has just started preschool in Australia this week. He only ever did a half day in Scotland so it has been the first time I’ve been sending Finn off with a lunch box. I made sure to pack a nude lunch all week but to be honest it will be something that I will be doing all year round. Nude Food Movers make it so easy, the sandwich boxes are brilliant and the rubbish free lunch box is great for packing a sandwich/wrap and a range of little snacks of fruit and vegetables. Below I used two snack boxes and popped them into the meal box that has a dip pot and fork attached. There are so many ways to use the range.
Nude Food Movers range is available throughout Australia at Coles, Big W & Officeworks and are also available internationally including the USA and UK.
I have Just finished planning a few lessons around sustainability in Year 2. My kids love the Nude Food Day and I can’t wait to do it this year. It really is an eye opener to how much waste we create everyday in our lunch boxes. I have overlooked, in the past, the health benefits of having the food nude. This will be a great addition to my lessons. Thank you.
Exactly, Ross. So glad you are getting involved this year, it is a great initiative. Glad I could help in some way!
What a great array of fantastic kids lunch boxes that will make lunch preparation quick and easy.
Hi Kylie, yes they really are fab. Are your Australian based? You get them in Coles, Big W and Office Works.
Will be keeping my eye out for these in uk. My kids usually attend school dinners but on the occasional days I give them packed lunch I hate the mess the boxes come home in!
Oh yes, you need to go nude….! No mess to deal with ?
