You may already have a reusable food pouch, but did you know you can use them in more ways than one? These neat food pouches can be used in a variety of different ways and will be a new staple in your home!

Keeps Produce Fresh
We love our fresh produce, but sometimes it feels as though our lovely fruit and veg is quicker to spoil, than it is to last.
Here's our tip — we pop our fruit and veg in one of our Reusable Food Pouches. Trust us when we say, it will help keep your food fresher for longer! If you're wondering how these pouches do this, it's because of the airtight seal.
We find it especially good for fruit like berries, that tend to go mouldy quite quickly.
Cuisena Reusable Kitchen Products are also great for maintaining food freshness and help make food preparation and storage easier.

Snacks & Lunch
These Reusable Food Pouches, double up as a great plastic-free snack bag or lunch box — perfect to take to school or work!
They are super easy to use, especially if you are use to zip lock bags, just this way there's no plastic and you're helping the planet!
So instead of throwing out single-use plastics everyday, choose to reuse. Investing in these pouches saves you money in the lon-run, so it's really a win-win!

Freezer, Microwave & Dishwasher Safer
Did you know our Reusable Food Pouches are freezer, microwave and dishwasher safe? So versatile!
We love freezing fruit to use in our fruit smoothies, but it's also great for reducing food waste. As soon as we spot signs of fruit going bad — we pop it straight in our Silicone Bag and in the freezer it goes. We also freeze any leftovers from lunch or dinner and love the fact that the pouch can be microwaved and doesn't have to be transferred to something else. Having leftovers defintely helps on those days you don't feel like cooking.
These food pouches are also great for meal prep, again being able to freeze and microwave when needed. Cleaning up is just as easy, being dishwasher safe!

Stores Liquids
If you're worried about the quality of these Food Pouches, don't be — they can even hold liquids!
Our favourite liquid to store in the pouch is soup. We love meal prepping Soup in these pouches and think they're great for taking it to work — easy to transport and no leaks!
Another great idea is freezing your Plant-Based Milk and yoghurts. Don't let time rule you. If you know the expiry date is coming, beat the clock and freeze! If you cook with milk, this is a great way to use up the remainder without waste. We freeze yoghurt and use it in our smoothies!
You could even store water in your pouch and use it as a watering can. The possibilities are endless!

Makeup & Toiletry Bag
Whilst the name of our food pouches contains the word 'food,' don't be deceived. It's super easy to think that food is all that can be stored here, but we also love using these food pouches as a makeup and toiletry bag and they are exceptionally great for travel!
Things like Deodorant, Toothbrushes, Skincare and Makeup products are perfect for fitting in the 1500ml Food Pouch size. We also have the 500ml and 1000ml sizes available.
Check out our Travel Products, to find products that are under 100ml that are easy to store in your makeup and toiletry bag, for when you're on holidays.
Green + Kind's Silicone Pouches are a great alternative to plastic bags and are very universal!
Sometimes it just takes a bit of thinking outside the box, because as you can see, these food pouches can be used in more ways than one. We'd love to know what you use your food pouches for!
