If you are a parent, you know the struggle of the "toddler appetite." One day they eat like a starving teenager; the next, they survive on three blueberries and a cracker.
This unpredictability makes meal prep incredibly frustrating. You don't want to defrost a huge adult-sized portion of Shepherd's Pie just for your 2-year-old to take one bite and throw it on the floor.
Enter the game-changer: The 370ml (13oz) Glass Container.
Often overlooked in favor of the larger 1000ml "adult" sizes, this compact container is the unsung hero of the Good For You collection. Here is why parents are switching to the "Goldilocks" size—not too big, not too small, but just right.
THE PERFECT PORTION CONTROL
Most standard meal prep containers hold nearly a liter of food. For a toddler, that is daunting. A 370ml container holds roughly 1.5 cups of food. This is the exact volume of a healthy, balanced meal for a child aged 1–4.
Why it works:
- Less Waste: You are physically limited to packing a sensible portion, so you stop throwing away half-eaten leftovers.
- Visual Appeal: A full small container looks appetizing to a child. A quarter-full large container looks "messy" and overwhelming.
BATCH COOKING: FROM FREEZER TO HIGH CHAIR
The secret to preserving your sanity is batch cooking. But you cannot just freeze food in any old tub.
Plastic containers often crack in the freezer or stain permanently when you store tomato-based sauces (we are looking at you, Spaghetti Bolognese). Plus, heating plastic in the microwave is a major concern for many eco-conscious parents due to potential chemical leaching.
The Good For You Difference:
Our 370ml containers are made from High Borosilicate Glass. This isn't your average glass. It is designed to withstand extreme temperature changes.
- Step 1: Cook a big batch of "hidden veggie" mac and cheese on Sunday.
- Step 2: Portion it out into five 370ml containers.
- Step 3: Snap the leak-proof lids on and stack them in the freezer.
- Step 4: When hunger strikes, grab one, remove the lid, and microwave it directly in the glass container.
No extra dishes. No stained plastic. No chemicals.
REAL-LIFE USE CASE: THE DAYCARE PACK
Does your daycare require you to send lunch? The 370ml size fits perfectly into standard toddler lunch bags.
Because of the Smart-Lock Seals, these containers are 100% airtight and leak-proof. You can pack yogurt, applesauce, or a juicy fruit salad without worrying about it exploding over your child's spare change of clothes.
Pro Tip for Daycare:
Use a dry-erase marker to write the date and contents directly on the glass lid. It wipes right off in the dishwasher!
THE VERDICT
Stop trying to make adult-sized containers work for your little ones. By downsizing to the 370ml Glass Meal Prep Set, you save fridge space, reduce food waste, and make mealtime faster.
