Lunchboxes made easy!



Anyone who loves to cook (and eat!) is often faced with the dilemma of how to transport their wonderful creations.


Living on cafeteria, restaurant, or convenience store food is often unhealthy, fattening, and definitely costs a lot more than 'brown bagging' it.

The EasyLunchbox System makes it simple to organize, and quickly pack healthy lunches at home without wasting money, time, paper or plastic. It's a flexible timesaver for all those wonderful Brown Bag ideas and makes portion control a breeze!
EasyLunchboxes.com was launched in December, 2009 and is quickly becoming the new favorite among affordable and green lunch box solutions!

Named a 'top 5 Eco-Friendly Mommy Must Have" by Parents Ask , the EasyLunchbox System has been rated TOP CHOICE by many independent reviewers. Read their reviews HERE .
Supporting the waste-free lunch movement, EasyLunchboxes.com offers a reusable, superior solution at a much lower price than other companies. Great for large families and those on a limited budget.

How did this company get started? Here is Kelly's story:
KELLY LESTER is the owner, creator, and mom behind Easylunchboxes.com. During the last two decades she has been an entrepreneur, wife, and mother of three. She is also an actress and singer.
A graduate of UCLA's theatre department, Kelly has appeared in dozens of plays and musicals in the Los Angeles area. Kelly left show business for almost twelve years to found and run Art Plates, her own highly-successful gift manufacturing business and raise her three girls. Her handcrafted switchplates and soaps were sold in hundreds of museum stores across the country and direct to consumers via the Art Plates website.
After selling that business in 2006, Kelly defied the old adage that there are no second acts. In fact, sometimes there are actually many different acts. Since returning to performing, Kelly has appeared in a number of stage productions, films and TV shows. More about Kelly’s performing career HERE.
In her spare time, she enjoys listening to obscure musicals, and has an obsession with graphic design (especially fonts) and digital scrap booking. When not in front of the computer, Kelly can be found in the kitchen preparing healthy lunches and dinners for her family (although she actually hates to cook and is actively trying to teach her daughters to take over the household culinary needs.)
Easylunchboxes.com was born out of Kelly’s innate ability to do things efficiently while on a shoestring budget, and her desire to send her daughters to school with simple, healthy food, with little to no extra packaging or ingredients. Her past struggle with weight control inspires her to teach and model healthy eating habits for her children, and has fueled her dedication to always send them off to school with a great lunch. Kelly's healthy lifestyle was recently featured on MOM TRENDS.
Kelly combined her self taught business-savvy with her natural inclination to think “what would other parents want?” — to develop the perfect lunchbox system.. She is thrilled and proud to share her Easylunchboxes and lunch bags with other families who will benefit by their simple design, great price, and amazing functionality. Additionally, by promoting the waste-free lunch movement, EasyLunchboxes.com is helping the planet one lunch box at a time.
Kelly has been married to actor Loren Lester since 1988. They live in Woodland Hills, CA with their three daughters, Jenny, Lily, & Julia, and their dog, Albany.




I got a e-mail directly from Kelly and she was so sweet. She told me all about her personal experiences with loosing weight and keeping it off. It was so nice to actually talk with someone and not just get a quick response. You can really tell that this company is small but mighty!

Here is the option that I went for!
I got the "olive" tote and four of the easy lunchboxes! Man...It really is easy!!! Check out just how much you can pack in these babies! Not just for kids...these really are great for portable meals!


After using them myself I am hooked! I have already packed and stacked my meals and they are ready for me. I am so glad to say goodbye to tin foil, baggies and plastic wrap! These totally saved me, in more ways than one! Being able to "grab n go" is a HUGE deal when you are as busy as I am, every moment that I am able to save is a plus!

Have a wonderful day guys and gals! I will see you soon!
