On Monday’s I host a blog post series on how you can get organized in just a few minutes. I’ve called this series, Margarita’s Manic Monday Minutes or 4M for short so that you can follow along as I get you organized in 15-20 minutes or less. Last week’s segment took slightly longer than that but it was well worth it! Every once in a while an organizing product comes across my desk that I absolutely love.
O.K. I am a professional organizer, as many of you already know, and to be honest with you there isn’t one professional organizer that I know that doesn’t love Rubbermaid. It is like salt to a chef, like tires are to a mechanic, like ice cream is to a kid. It is just something we love to use. We couldn’t imagine organizing a large space without a big, heavy duty Rubbermaid tote.
When most of us think about Rubbermaid, we think about good quality, durability and practicality. The thing is that they come up with containers that help us keep our lives nice and neat and…ORGANIZED.
So when I was asked to review their LunchBlox series, it was a slam dunk for this pro. The Lunch Blox series comes in various permeations.
-
LunchBlox™ Kids for Tall Lunch Bags
-
LunchBlox™ Kids for Flat Lunch Bags
-
LunchBlox™ Sandwich Kit
-
LunchBlox™ Salad Kit
-
LunchBlox™ Entrée Kit
You can have one that is for tall or flat lunch bags. We have one of each of these types of lunch bags in my home. You can also purchase one just that is specifically for Salads (I own one of those). I also like to use that when we have pasta or rice leftovers. One that is new to me (and is the largest combination) the Entrée Kit that has 5 containers and two ice packs. I have also given ones away to my daughter when she went away to University. I have decided that this week I would post a vlog (a video blog post for those that don’t know what that new made up word means). Here is my review of the Rubbermaid Lunch Blox for kids (and adults too as far as I am concerned).
Rubbermaid Lunch Blox ™ for kids – My product review
- 2 x 200 ml containers, 1 ice pack and 1 standard size sandwich container
- Containers are modular and stack to stay organized in kids’ lunch bags
- Leak-proof lids are easy to open – no adults needed!
- A slim Blue Ice pack keeps your kids lunch cold (it snaps on easily)
- Individual containers keeps food separate (a bonus for those picky eaters)
- All kit components are BPA-free
- Microwave, dishwasher and freezer safe

Great school stuff container, unless it has a BPA Free will be better good not as good but a high quality.
Look like a very good set and will last long.
Rubbermaid has always had great products. This Lunchbox series sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing.
What nice little container! Perfect for the kids school lunches!
Oh gosh, I want to have this one. I have to check if we have this available in our local store.
I am an organizational gadget junkie. I love finding new tools to help me get organized!
I like Rubbermaid products. I think these sound great, and we pack lunch daily for three people so we could really put them to use.
Seems like a great product. I like that it’s elaborated, always worried when carrying lunch for the day that it might spill. Also a fan of keeping g items separate
Rubbermaid never ceases to amaze me. They always come up with the best products – more like solutions, to our daily ( and unexpected problems ). I’m Ms. Lunchbox Girl right now and would love to have these. They’re perfect for me!
I love these containers 🙂 Very useful and they always never leak for me, great for lunches or even snacks 🙂
I love the change of colors, that helps finding them easier. I tend to buy white. These look like they would work perfectly for me. Thanks!
I love Rubbermaid products! This is a great review! Thanks for sharing.
This is a great review. I love that they are microwave safe, dishwasher and freezer safe. The Entree kit looks amazing, it think I’m going to buy one of these
I have these! They’re really great – and much more sturdy (especially the tops) compared to the ‘other’ brands, right?!
Omg these look.great!!! I could totally use a few to make my life a lot more organized 😉
I’m going to have to buy this set…especially the salad to go! With homeschooling 3 boys, we are always on the go. Since eating ‘house food’ is cheaper and usually more nutritional for all our outings, I always try to pack our meals to go when we are on the run. I love how they stack so neatly together too!
I can always be more organized. These look really great and I love that the ice pack snaps in.
I love those and I could use all the help I could get to get organized. Thanks so much for sharing, I’ll check this company out.
I have this set, too and I am very happy with it. The containers are the perfect size.
I need these Rubbermaid Lunch Boxes to organize and put in order all the items for lunches.
I pretty much live by these! They are great for kids!
I have these and I love them. 🙂
I agree with you! I love Rubbermaid too because it is made of high quality plastic material. I do hope I can be more organized too.
These Rubbermaid containers are so convenient, especially during this Thanksgiving holiday weekend. They keep leftovers fresh for days.
They do look like they do a good job of keeping things organized. I wonder how long they hold up after multiple dishwasher washes?!
You know, I have had them for years and they stand up just great. They make them much better than years ago.
I use these for my daughter’s lunches, too!
Be sure and try some of the larger ones too. They work great for adults too.
I love these. I got some last year and use them all the time. I find the small ones are great for dips and condiments for the kids.
I love that you have a certain amount for salad dressing. I love salad dressing and I probably put on too much so this is good for me for sure. Thanks for dropping by.
Looks like a pretty good food storage container! Microwave safe and BPA free products are the most important things I’m looking for. I’ll have to check out this one for my girls.
Yes, I think having BPA plastics in my cupboards is very important. You can never be too careful with your family.
I love Rubbermaid’s products. They haven’t made something that I haven’t liked.
Kori, like I said, I most professional organizers love to work with Rubbermaid. Its nice to finally see them working with bloggers for reviews. Yeah!
I’ve always loved Rubbermaid products. These look really great and I love that they don’t get deformed in the microwave.
They are so good. I’ve had some Rubbermaid products for almost 10 years now. I’m pretty stoked about getting a few more pieces. Who wouldn’t?
Tupperware is one of those things I need help organizing! I always have a bottom and a lid but they NEVER match! I love how these Rubbermaid ones snap together! Brilliant!
Oh, boy… you need to see the next installment of 4M on Monday, I’m talking about the easy lids system that keeps the lids and the containers together. Great idea. Stay tuned.
I am a huge fan of anything that is leakproof. With four kids there is always something that is leaking. I use wrap-n-mats for the kids sandwiches and a thermos for hot food. My oldest is in high school now and doesn’t like the wrap n mats as they are too babyish in her words, but these are pretty cool. I think she would like them.
I love your comment. I have to watch out for what is cool and what is not also. Two teens and they can be a handful. Thanks goodness oldest is in University and I don’t worry about her but she did get one of the LunchBlox when she moved out this fall. 🙂
I wondered how well these really worked. Thanks for the review!
Angela: they work THAT well! Love them. Thanks for watching the video.
I REALLY like how the ice pack snaps on. I think that right there pushes the product over to the must have list!
I love that the ice packs snap on too. I have other ice packs but they never cover the whole container and they don’t seem to keep everything cool enough. I love this about the Lunch Blox.
I’ve been using these since my boys started school, my husband also uses them for taking his lunch to work!
There are so great, right Jennifer? I love them. I also like that you can use different containers with different sets but the ice packs are good for all of them. Thanks for dropping by.
I’ve been wanting to get these Rubbermaid products. I want them for my sons lunch.
They are so great. Make sure and look at the whole line because they are interchangeable. Thanks for dropping by.
I have a couple of these sets for my DS lunch, and they work great.
Do you have any of the larger ones for your lunch? I really love the salad one. It is nice and big and has extra compartments. I showed it in the video. Thanks for dropping by.
I use these in my children’s lunch boxes and love them. I can’t stand when things get all mushed together. These are perfect for them.
I love that they don’t get all squished together. Put them in the dishwasher and its all easy peasy. Right?
These look like pretty neat storage containers!! They would be perfect for Hubby’s lunch!
Just so you know, they also have the LUNCHBLOX™ ENTRÉE KIT that has larger containers. Much better for an adult!
I sooo need these! They would help me easy my mornings! great review!

Dee: Thanks so much for dropping by. I love that you put your website so I will drop by and say hello. Thank you for the kind words.
I like it when they can last in the microwave ad not melt and get all weird! I need some!
I love that you can warm things up in the microwave. But the best part is that you can have a freezer pack to keep the sandwich cold.
My sister could really use these. She sends her kids’ lunch to school in a bunch of mismatched containers that are really hard to fin into their lunch boxes.
I have to say, I love that they snap together and are interchangeable with other Rubbermaid Lunch Blox systems. Hope she like them. I do!
I love that this is free BPA. I always look for that in products like this. I’ll have to get this for my son. 🙂
I love that it is BPA free too. So great, right? Let me know how your son likes it.
I think it is great that the products are dishwasher and microwave safe. Would definitely save you tons of time versus washing by hand!
They stand up to those two well. I love easy clean up too! Thanks for dropping by.
What I want to know is where were you when my four kids were going to school, and growing up??? You got some great tips here. I think I’ll give my daughter this here link! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the compliment. I would love if you could share the post. Always looking for more readers… I have another Rubbermaid review on Monday.
I definitely need to get more organized! These look like something I would love. Thanks for sharing.
They are fun and versatile. Make sure to try and find them at a retailer near you.
