Create a working system

During busy morning runs, every minute counts and time is so precious.Use a logical structure. Organise everything you need for the day. Set up a healthy prep station in your fridge, freezer or pantry – so every step runs smoothly in the morning.

Tip 1:

Use storage containers.

Round or angled, for raw or already pre-cooked food – use storage jars or boxes out of glass, so that content and quantity are easily visible. Plus, they are super easy to clean and can be reused for any other purpose afterwards. Many dishes can also be well prepared in advance and frozen with a fitting box.

Tip 2:

Use a handy lunchbox.

Lunchboxes with different compartments or sections come in handy for anyone. You can create an appropriate filling station with prepared delicacies in the morning and top them up. Just take a synthetic or stainless steel lunchbox and pack the different snacks and meals for your kid´s lunch. All perfectly stored and separated in one box.

Tip 3:

Zip and Go.

Practically and always at hand – zip bags. Use reusable and sustainable ones that are freezer-, microwave- and dishwasher-safe to make pre-portioned snacks ready to put in your fridge. For example fruits and vegetables like carrot sticks, grapes, berries, strips of peppers, cherry tomatoes, cheese sticks – they are all ideal to grab on-the-go for school.

Tip 4:

Label everything.

No matter if you use boxes, storage jars or zipper bags – a labelling system will help you and your kids to find your way around in the kitchen quickly.
For labelling, use washi tapes, stickers or write directly on the container with an removable oil-based marker. To create a consistent and clean look, choose the colour – we recommend black or white – that fits best to your kitchen or pantry. Not only practical, but also fun to do for every DIY-lover.
