Guide Review - Kids Lunch Container Review - Fit & Fresh Snack Clip Makes Healthy Snacking Fun

Making food appealing is one way to encourage picky eaters to eat more fruits and vegetables. With the Fit & Fresh snack clip, you don't have to break out the cookie cutters.

These cute, snack-sized lunch containers keep food cold, making it easy to send everything from carrot sticks with peanut butter to cheese cubes to school.

And they come in fun, kid-appealing designs, including baseball, princess, soccer and unicorn.

The snack clips are small enough to fit inside a lunch box. But they come with an attached clip that makes it easy for kids to hook them onto a backpack.

The snack clips are the perfect size for holding a handful of Goldfish and celery sticks with cream cheese. Sometimes I'll just put the cream cheese or peanut butter in half of the container, and the celery sticks in the other half, and let the kids dip. If your kids prefer one larger snack, you can just remove the divider.

This Lunch Container is Convenient and Easy to Use

I especially appreciate the fact that the Fit & Fresh snack clips are easy for the kids to open by themselves. In the past, I've tried to send veggies and dip to school, but the kids just brought it home, because there was no one to help them open the plastic dip container (some of the smaller Tupperware and Rubbermaid containers are tough for kids to open).

My only pet peeve with this product is the ice ring. It can be a bit tough to get out. But I'm not sure I'd change that. After all, you don't want it falling into the food.

In short, the Fit & Fresh snack clip is inexpensive (less than $5) and multi-functional. Here are just a few of the snacks you can put inside of the snack clip:
