Recommend me a large adults lunch bag please

Sorry, not sure if this is the best topic to post this in but wasn’t sure where to put it 🤷‍♀️

I’m after recommendations for a large lunchbag for an adult (female if relevant). I am trying to move away from single use plastic bags and bottles but trying to fit my lunch, in various sistema style tubs and with a travel coffee cup and thermos drinks bottle, is becoming near enough impossible! Usually I may have a soup in a mug or pasta salad in a tub, chopped up fruit in another tub. I mix greek yogurt with flavouring and that is in another tub, plus previously mentioned travel coffee cup and either a thermos bottle or breville blender bottle for my homemade smoothie means my bag is literally bursting at the seams!

Any lunch bag suggestions that can fit all my tubs etc please?

Bloody hell how long are you at lunch for?!
My sister works in the nhs and works long shifts, jokes that she takes a hamper to work as it contains 2 meals and snacks 😂
Could you try searching medium sized cool bag instead of lunch bag in Amazon? I’ve just tried and it’s bringing up things of a decent size. All depends on how large your containers are though.
i just take one medium sized Tupperware box to work with usually leftovers or a salad, and it fits in my work bag so not having to contend with multiple pots and boxes!

That sounds like it takes up a lot of space! Maybe look at the decathlon insulated backpack? We used to have large one, but I think they now do a slightly smaller on that might work - I did check you hadn't posted in the Style section before suggesting it though 😀

Interested in this thread?

I'm really starting to consider my food choices as I posted this in the food section and one poster said my lunch sounded complicated lol. I usually take a homemade soup in a sistema soup mug (usually fills to about half way in the mug), a split sistema pot for say strawberries one side and maybe grapes the other and I use a small old sweet and sour chicken balls pot from the chinese for my yogurt. Is that seriously a lot for lunch?? That with the breville blender bottle and a costa coffee thermos cup means its all very bulky but is it really a lot of food?? I leave home at 7.45 and get home at 6pm. My work place is very rural, no shops etc. We have 1 kettle, 1 microwave and 1 fridge between about 30 of us so I have to make sure I have enough with me every day.

I don't think you actually have that much food, but with the two large thermos type bottles it all takes up a lot of space!
