Graze Organic Reusable Lunch and Snack Baggies

Peanut butter sandwich on Trader Joe's pretzel bread ! Plus honey crisp apple slices ! Love this blog and the products mentioned. Thanks for the great ideas.

Sandwixh? Homeground Peanut Butter and home canned Jelly VEGGIE- my homegrown carrots and snack- Local Organic Honeycrisp apples. (My apple trees haven't produced fruit yet, so buying local (within 100 miles is my fruit solution) .-= Rob´s last blog ..Why is everyone laughing at me??? =-.

I would pack my sandwiches in them. Plastic disposable bags leave a terrible taste and smell on my food.

That's an easy one! I'd pack a sandwich, a piece of fruit, and a handful of mixed nuts! These bags are a great idea!

I would pack for my son a good old PB&J on whole wheat, peas, and raisins and O's for the snack. Thanks for all you do!

A partial list of things that would probably end up in the bags based on my current behavior: muffins, pieces of homemade bread, dried fruit/homemade fruit leather, nuts, small seasonal fruits (peaches, apples, plums, etc.), small seasonal veggies (cherry tomatoes, Persian cucumbers, carrot sticks), granola/cereal (for yogurt). .-= M´s last blog ..Costal Cleanup Day 2009 - Balboa Park LA River site =-.

Right now my kids' lunches look enormous due to stainless steel containers and all sorts of odd (glass jars, for example) containers. If I had the three bags, the sandwich for the kids would be two rice cakes with organic humus and sprouts the kids grew at home put together as a sandwich, the vegie bag would be a medley of thinly sliced jicama, carrot, sweet mini peppers, hothouse cucumbers, and turnips. (organic, of course). The snack would most likely be vegie booty as they both are addicts, but I might shock them with a little slice of organic pound cake made by these guys we know (Be Organic, LLC) - not trying to sell anything, they just happen to be four really good chefs and cool guys to boot. :)

Sandwich bag -- turkey and cheese wrap Veggie bag -- baby carrots Snack bag -- dried fruit

I'm not a big sandwich lover, but I do love banana bread, so that is probably what would end up in the sandwich bag. During the summer the fruit bag would probably have cherry tomatoes, in the winter probably dried fruit. And the snack bag would have whatever snackage was in the kitchen when I was ready to run out the door, which could be cookies or nuts or even a handful of popcorn.

I would definitely go with the raw veggies & whole fruit for these! Great idea!

mmmm....Tofurkey and avocado sandwich, kohlrabi or jicama slices and dried fruit.

Your bags are sooo cute but I don't need the bags so don't enter me in the give-away. I love your napkins on your website! I have many cloth napkins at home as that is all I use (sigh) I guess I need to add a few more to my collection!

These bags are adorable! :). Thank you for always finding such great environmental products! I would love to win these bags. As far as what I would put in them? Nothing. I never use plastic bags or cling wrap but have friends that love the stuff and also have kids so I would love to also give them away to hopefully ween one of my friends off of plastic baggies.

These would go wonderfully with my homemade muslin produce bags. I would put carrots and peppers in here, a PB& J on homemade bread, and/or roasted edamame with dried cranberries.

Sandwich: homemade vegetarian burrito Veggie: carrot and fennel sticks Snack: homemade, plastic-free oatmeal bars (most items can be purchased from the bulk bins) OATMEAL BARS 2 cups rolled oats 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup wheat germ 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 cup all-purpose flour 3/4 cup raisins 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup honey 1 egg, beaten 1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Bake in a 9x13 pan at 350 for 30-35 minutes. Cool 5 minutes and cut into squares (they harden when cool).

These bags look awesome, and no plastic (duh!). Sandwich: We might have almond butter and honey, grated cheese with plum mostarda an onions, or cheese and apples. Veggie: Let me see...cut apples, or the very small ones we get from market-whole, cut red peppers, or carrot coins would fill this bag nicely. Snack: Here we'd find almonds, dried apricots and seaweed crackers. We can't wait to see if we win! Thanks for the contest and the chance to see what everyone else has for brown bag. -Gretchan in Portland

I would pack an avacado sandwich , edamame in the veggie, and sliced apple in the snack!

I would put in a hummus sandwich, some dried apricots & walnuts (in the 'veggie' bag, ha ha ha), & maybe a piece of homemade chocolate chip bar (kind of like blondies) in the snack bag. (& yeah, I would just toss them in the laundry if they got messy. Sometimes we wrap sandwiches in cloth napkins & that's what we do w/them.)

Well, I'd take my sandwhich makings in seperate containers - if you put the tomato, lettuse and cheese on ahead none of it works together ( for me that is)

I usually bring leftovers for lunch, but now that my husband is also working, we run out of leftovers sooner. I plan on packing some sort of sandwich on homemade whole-wheat bread; carrots, celery, or broccoli; and nuts or granola. Thanks!

What a fantastic idea!!! I love it! I'd put a sandwich in (PB for #1, honey for #2 or cheese for #3), for the veggie it'd be carrots (#1), sweet peppers (#2) or sugar snap peas (#3) and for the snack either GF pretzels or cereal. What a neat idea. I'm going to forward this link to my friends. Cool!

We homeschool, so packing a lunch isn't an issue for us ;-). However, I was thinking if I won these I would give them to my sis-in-law who has a kiddo in elementary school. .-= Glenda´s last blog ..Becoming a Plastic-Free Household =-.

So fun! Let's see...probably peanut butter and jelly sandwich, pretzels, and raisins. That seems to be what my little one is loving these days.

I have a kiddo with really bad food allergies, so we'd probably be packing something that is safe for everyone in my family to eat... Instead of a sandwich, we'd probably do homemade corn tortillas with cheese slices (rolled up cold just like they like them), carrots, celery, and cucumbers (the only veggies my eldest guy can eat right now). And finish it off with nut free trail mix. Great product! The plastic lined bags drive me a little crazy.

I'd pack dry snacks for my kids, like bite-sized cereal and crackers in all the bags. I hope they'll offer them in hemp or bamboo in the future.

I would put a half a bagel with yogurt "cream cheese" spread in the sandwich bag, assorted raw veggies in the veggie bag, and some snack crackers in the snack bag for my lunch at school. I'm a teacher so a lot of little eyes would be watching and a lot of questions asked about my cool lunch bags!

I'd pack pumpkin bread or peanut butter crackers along with dried mangosteens or blueberries! These sound great. Even if I don't "win" I'm going to buy some. Thanks for the write-up.

I love the idea of these bags! We are huge PB & J fans, so that would be our sandwich. As for veggies, we eat a lot of cucumbers and carrots. And snack? Probably homemade chocolate chip cookies. :) .-= Amber´s last blog ..Beautiful Thusnelda =-.

Hi Beth - a question: do you know if you can compost waxed paper? I'm trying to get my kerbside rubbish down to zero, and am composting what I can. .-= Daharja´s last blog ..For the beauty of the earth =-.

I really want these for my kids school lunches. I want to pack their sandwiches, chips or pretzels, and carrots, grapes or other veggies, homemade trail mix too! I would love to win these!!!

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, carrot sticks, and dried fruit and nuts. I love these bags, they look great! I've been trying to keep my food away from plastic as much as possible (even more so) now that I'm pregnant, and would love to be able to use these instead of popping a sandwich into a heavy glass container! .-= abbie´s last blog ..Huge Disappointment =-.

I usually pack a PBnJ if I skip breakfast. I also bring leftovers on reused plastic containers. My favorite lunch that I bring, also in reused plastic containers, is homemade sushi rolls (with no fish, just veggies and eggs and avo... you know, the works). So I need to get upgraded from the plastic containers. What do you think?

I would pack apples and cheese, granola mix, and bagel sandwiches usually. Sometimes I make veggie rolls (sushi) or tomato basil mozzarella sandwiches. Since I walk or bike everywhere, having lightweight containers would be very helpful to me (specifically to my shoulders and back). .-= Kerri´s last blog ..Grow a Set (day sixty) =-.

That is a Terrific idea and design !!! First at all I want to say Thanks to you guys for helping us to reduce our carbon footprint!!!. Your project looks like a cradle to cradle design, which means the materials are NO TOXIC and at the end of the life cycle of your product it could degrade an safety way !!!! Thanks for take care of THE PLANET!!!! I have daughter of almost 3 years old !!! I will use your bags to store her veggies and snack like grapes, banana and apples!!!

Oh! What an awesome giveaway!! I've been on the hunt for some plastic free re-usable bags for several months now. I keep considering making my own however, not only am I not very crafty but my sewing machine died it's final death a few months ago. (It literally caught on fire!) So what would I pack in the bags? Well, I probably wouldn't pack a sandwich n the sandwich bag very often...because I just don't eat them that often (though I really do love PB&J) but it would still likely contain some sort of bread or bread-like product. The veggie bag is easy- I'd pack whatever veggies I'm packing that day! And the snack bag would be likely to contain something like grapes, or maybe more veggies...Or MAYBE Annie's Bunny Grahams. *blush.* Thanks again for the chance to enter!

As a former reading teacher, I love that these have clear labels on them, great for kids of all ages. My oldest is school age, and I would love to send these along in her lunch box. I would probably sneak some use in myself, that is, if I can get my hands on them. So for the sandwich: hummus, avocado slices and shreds of red peppers on wheat. Veggie: what ever tastey veggie I can pull up from the garden, so right now...carrots. Snack: can't go wrong with popcorn dusted with garlic powder or cinnamon. Thanks for this amazing give away! I am sure that these nice bags will inspire many to give up ziplocks!

Hi Beth, Heather & Leslie, I have begun the formal change over from some plastic to no plastic. I love carrots, and my home grown carrots would go in the vegi bag. Cheese and crackers, wrapped in parchment, would go in the sandwich bag, and my muesli munch would go in the snack bag. Thanks for the offer! Great job! Ruth

My kids are pretty, er, choosy, in what they'll eat for lunch, so I'd put homemade bread with butter, cheese on the side in the sandwich bag; either apple slices or carrot sticks in the veggie bag; and raisins in the snack bag. Now if I was using them for myself, I'd put a yummy sandwich with lots of cheese, tomatoes and other veggies and mayo in the sandwich bag, carrot sticks in the veggie bag, and some peanut-butter/oatmeal/chocolate chip cookies in the snack bag...mmmm, I'm getting hungry! .-= Andrea´s last blog ..Key Hooks =-.

These would be great.. Sandwich: Black bean tortilla roll. Just thinly spread refried black beans on one surface of a tortilla, then roll and you get a nice swirly effect. Kids love it. Fruit: Grapes. Veg: Carrot sticks. yum!

These are great! - I'm working on convincing my coworkers to bring their own cutlery, and this would be one more way to lead by example! If I won, the bags would be used for sliced up celery sticks or carrots, homemade granola, and a sandwich!

I would use these for my husband's lunch. I prefer to use reusable containers, but they are really too bulky for him to haul around at work. I have a reusable sandwich wrapper, currently, and have been looking for snack bags to add to the collection. These would be so much easier than washing out the plastic baggies to use over and over again. I would probably put some sort of veggies in one, some sort of nut in another and some sort of chip/cracker in the last one. These would be so great!

I'm a classic Peanut Butter and Jelly girl, and of course some carrots, cauliflower, or broccoli. Sometimes some almonds or other nuts and maybe some homemade crackers or some cheese. .-= Natalie´s last blog ..Wednesday Weigh-In =-.

I would pack a PB&J sandwich, some carrots and cheese. :)

I would take my sandwich, fruit and veggies to work for lunch, drink out of my No Impact Man canning jar (my husband cut a hole in a canning lid for me) and not use all the styrofoam containers used at the cafeteria at work. When I use my jar, people are always asking me about it, I would think they would ask me about the Graze Organics bags also.

Oh! Love these! I've made the move from plastic baggies and currently use reusable plastic containers for this kind of stuff, but they're kind of bulky and I would much prefer a non-plastic, soft-sided alternative. I typically like to assemble my sandwiches at work -- they just taste more fresh to me that way -- so I'd probably use the sandwich bag for bread, the veggie bag for sandwich filler (lettuce, tomato slices, onions, pickles, etc), and the snack bag for any number of things: carrots, grape tomatoes, cookies, nuts, crackers...

These are adorable! We already use reuseable bags, but ours are lined :( As to what would most likely be packed... Sandwich - PB & J on homemade potato bread Veggie - would actually be a fruit....probably banana, pear or apple Snack - homemade granola bars - it's too crumbly to carry on it's own ;) Stacy

These are adorable! We've been trying to find something like this--at least to hold us over until we learn how to sew well enough to make our own... If I had these on a morning as random and leftover-driven as most mornings, I might pack a sandwich of leftover sliced lima-bean loaf (originally cooked in the solar oven) on homemade sourdough bread with homegrown sprouts and wasabi mayonnaise. The veggie bag might have celeraic sticks from the garden--and in the snack bag a combo of dried fruits and nuts. I love Mike's milkshake idea! .-= The Raven´s last blog ..DIY : Green and Thrify Shopping Bag Tutorial =-.

my family, like so many others, are on an unexpected tight budget. we makes meals at home now, and leftovers are lunch the next day! these bags would not only help the earth, but save money by not buying plastic bags for lunch! great giveaway! thanks!

what fabulous bags! these are perfect for my girls' lunches. As for what 'd place in these bags, these are my thoughts: "sandwhich"--their favorite of peanut butter, honey and bananas on whole weat or pita; "snack"--veggie booty; and "vegetables"--carrots, grape tomatoes,celery and/or kirbies. My fingers are crossed!!!!

How fun! They would be great for the bread or sandwich I bring to accompany soup for lunch, as well as some homemade granola and cut up veggies and fruit.
