These eco-friendly containers are collected, professionally sanitized, and reused, significantly reducing waste. For our Party Boxes, we continue to use recyclable and sustainable packaging to keep your celebrations both delicious and environmentally responsible.
How does the reusable thermal bag work?
When we deliver your meals each week, they come in a reusable thermal bag to keep everything fresh. The following week, when we drop off your new meals, we’ll collect the previous bag. This way, we can keep the cycle going and reduce waste together! Just leave the empty bag out for us, and we’ll handle the rest.
Which day of the week will I receive my food?
We deliver your meals every Sunday! If you're not home at the time of delivery, no worries—we’ll leave the thermal bag at your door. The food will stay fresh in the thermal bag for up to two hours, so please make sure to bring it inside within that time. After delivery, it’s your responsibility to store the meals properly to keep them fresh.
Can I pick up the food weekly?
Yes, you can choose to pick up your meals instead of having them delivered! Just let us know during the purchase process. Our pick-up location is in Nepean - 70 Bongard Av, and we’ll be available for pick-ups on Sundays afternoons.

How Should I Store My School Lunch Box?
To keep your Lunchinho School Lunch Box fresh, store all items in the refrigerator. When properly sealed, they can last up to 5 days. When you're packing the lunch box for school, we recommend using an insulated bag or lunch box along, and frozen gel packs to maintain the ideal temperature if necessary.
Do I have to cook the food?
No cooking required! The meals are fully prepared and ready to eat. They can stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week. All you need to do is heat them up and pack them in your child’s lunchbox however you prefer!
How Should I Heat My School Lunch Box?

Our meals are designed for convenience, whether you’re using a microwave, oven, air fryer, or skillet. Here’s how to heat your meals perfectly every time:

  • Microwave: Remove the meal from the thermal bag. Remove the lid from the packaging. Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds. If needed, adjust in 5-second increments until thoroughly heated. Carefully transfer the meal to a thermal pot after heating.
  • Oven or Air Fryer: Remove the lid and transfer the meal to an oven-safe dish. Heat at 325°F for 4–7 minutes, or until warm.
  • Skillet: Remove the lid and transfer the meal to a skillet over medium heat. Add 1–2 tablespoons of water or oil, stir, and heat for 4–7 minutes.

While our packaging and lids are safe for the microwave, please do not place them directly in the oven or air fryer.

The suffix “-inho” in Portuguese is like a warm hug in a word ❣️ It’s a tender way to express affection. When you add “-inho” to a name or noun it’s not just about saying something is in a smaller portion - it’s about the love and care behind the word 🥰.
