Hi!

I personally use the disposable Gladware containers. They hold veggies, meat and other lunch items beautifully! Plus, you can reuse them for quite a while before recycling them. They come in quite a variety of sizes too.

Ditto on the ice pack. I have 2 that I rotate between. I carry my lunch in a backpack (easiest since I trek to work) w/the ice pack on the bottom. It keeps everything nice and cool-- even the cream cheese stuffed celery sticks!

Best of luck!
Nikki
