Frequently Asked Questions
How do I keep the lunchbox cold?
Use an insulated lunch bag with at least two ice packs—one on the bottom and one on top. Freezing a juice box or water bottle to act as an extra ice pack is also a great hack.
How to prevent apples from browning?
Soak apple slices in a mixture of 1 cup water and 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or pineapple juice) for 5 minutes, then drain. They will stay crisp and white until lunch time!
