Kids Konserve Canvas Lunch Sack - Giveaway

We are on the countdown for back to school.  I'm thinking of what to pack in lunch boxes.  I'm thinking of how to stay green with lunch gear.  I'm thinking of getting my kids all the nutrients they need to power their brain for a day of learning. 

Green Your Lunch Gear
Annie’s HomegrownStonyfield YoKidsHonest Kids, and Seventh Generation have teamed up to help families toss their brown bags this back-to-school season by offering a free Kids Konserve lunch sack to four Food with Kid Appeal readers. 

Winners will get a brown reusable canvas bag similar to the one pictured above.  Inside are coupons for four free products from Annie's Homegrown, Stonyfield YoKids and Seventh Generation.  It feels very sturdy, I think it would hold up to weekly washing.  If your kids are like mine, lunch boxes often comes home messy.  It's hard to remember to securely put the lid on the applesauce container every day when you're 5!  It's roomier than a paper sack.  Plenty of room for a sandwich, veggies, fruit and water bottle. 

These re-useable lunch sacks are washable and made of recycled cotton and eliminate a great deal of waste that would otherwise occur from the use of daily paper or plastic lunch bags.

For more re-usable lunch gear including insulated lunch sacks and stainless steel containers, head on over to Kids Konserve.

To win leave a comment on this blog post with the answer to this question and your email address.

What healthy brain boosting food do you add to your child's lunch?

The fine print
 
The contest closes at midnight August 13th . I will draw 4 winners and notify the winner via email. The winners will have 48 hours to claim their prize by responding to the email. Your email address should be in this format. jenna AT foodwithkidappeal DOT com.

Disclosure
I received a lunch sack to review. The opinions here are my own.

  95. With my daughter Autumn starting Kindergarten this year, she will take a lunch and a snack. In her lunch she will have either a piece of fresh fruit or a vegetable, and she will have the opposite for her snack. She loves and adores carrots, celery, nectarines, plums, peaches and many other tasty healthy foods! So I just buy what's in season and she's super happy for it! Plus I know with natural sugars and awesome vitamins and minerals it helps her stay calm and focused instead of bouncing off the walls! Thanks for the opportunity to enter this contest!
