A fancy insulated lunch box GIVEAWAY + Delicious warm portable lunch ideas for winter that are perfect for working parents, busy mums, or any adult who wants a yummy hot home-cooked meal on the go!
As mums and parents we spend a lot of time focusing on what to feed our kids for lunch, however we sometimes forget to nourish ourselves. We make sure the kid’s lunch boxes offer a good variety of food, that they’re jam packed with nutrients, and that they’re not too time consuming to prepare. Well it’s about time we turn a little of that love onto our selves, and with the cold months now upon us I think delicious warm winter meals that nourish our bodies, put a skip in our step, and leave a smile our face is exactly what we deserve!
GIVEAWAY: Scroll to the bottom of the blog for a chance to win an insulated 1300ml Vaya Tyffyn lunchbox of your own (similar to the one in the pic below!).
This post is sponsored by Vaya
First things first! If we’re to enjoy warm winter meals on the run – and let’s be honest, very few of us have the luxury of eating our meals undisturbed from our own dinner tables each day – we need a good quality, insulated lunch box.
What Lunch Box To Use?
You want a good insulated lunch box that doesn’t leak, keeps food warm for at least 5 hours (see you through from leaving home in the morning to lunch time) and isn’t too bulky.
The Vaya Tyffyn has an insulated stainless steel outer shell (that comes in heaps of pretty designs!) which keeps your food nice and warm. What I like most about the Vaya Tyffyn though, is the individual stainless steel copper-coated containers inside which make compartmentalising my lunch super easy! I can keep soup and croutons separate right up until I’m ready to eat (the lids are leak-proof too, so soup for lunch is a synch!). I can also take pasta and pasta sauce separately, or I can even have a very fancy feed like potato bake, roast meat, and gravy!
The Vaya Tyffyn comes in three different sizes:
- 600ml with 2 inner containers
- 1000ml 3 inner containers
- 1300ml 4 inner containers
I find the 1000ml is the perfect size for lunch just for me.
The Vaya also comes with a smart mat which has many uses. Firstly you can use it as a bag to carry your lunchbox, then unzip it into a table-mat. It’s specially coated to repel liquid and resist staining, and it can also hold your cutlery. The Vaya mat also doubles as a convenient picnic bag.

Hot Lunch Ideas For You (When You’re On The Run!)
PASTA – Spaghetti Bolognese, Lasagna, Ravioli serve with steamed vegetables, salad or bread.
CURRIES OR STIRFRIES – Stir-fry or curry with rice, chow mein
ROAST LUNCH – Roast Meat, Potato, Pumpkin, Steamed Corn, Carrots and Broccoli.
SOUP – Pumpkin Soup, Chicken Noodle Soup or Lamb Barley and Vegetable Soup.
SAUSAGE ROLLS OR PIES – these are great winter warmers!
LEFT OVERS – simply pack whatever is left over from dinner the night before.
I’m using the Vaya Preserve below, it is a stackable stainless steel food jar that keeps food hot or cold for up to 6 hours. My tips:
- To keep food cold longer store the preserve in the fridge until needed.
- To keep food warm longer, pour boiling water into the preserve and stand for 3 minutes (without lid), pour out water and immediately add your hot food and screw on the lid.

My favourite warm winter’s lunch at home is soup as when I am at work I can’t get to the microwave to heat up my soup.
My favourite is Chilli Con Carne with rice (or spinach leaves if I’m trying to be low carb) . Super yummy and filling !
My favourite winter warm lunch is leftovers from dinner the night before!
My favorite warm winter lunch is always leftovers from the night before. Saves me time just adding extra when cooking at night to make enough for lunch the next day than making a whole other meal
Omg definitely chicken and corn chowder. I am just salivating as i write this. Its a complete meal. Protein carb vegies. Uncomplicated.
Leftover pumpkin soup with some crusty butter rolls is absolute heaven, especially on a cold, winters day.
I live leftover taco mince in a toasted sandwich. Bliss!
Chicken noodles soup
I love tomato and lentil soup with crusty sourdough.

Ooooh the nothing better than a warm potato and leek soup and a side of toasted cheese sandwich.
Dumplings are my favourite winter warmer lunch idea. They keep the whole family happy which makes for an extremely happy mumma ?
I love to take a small amount of creamy pumpkin soup, a garden or greek salad and a warm raspberry and white chocolate muffin with some greek yoghurt and maybw a small fruit salad which satisfies me all day
Warm roast vege and pesto pasta salad with spinach, walnuts and chilli flakes. I often pack some round bread to make a warm salad wrap. So satisfying and warming on those winter days and fresh through summer. Perfect all year lunch.
Hands downs left over shepherds pie
I would have to agree. Dinner leftovers the next day are great.
Sometimes it even tastes better
I am a stay at home mama, but for my kids I send them with spaghetti and sometimes rice. I haven’t had any luck with portable thermos brands (especially cheap ones!) as they don’t stay warm! This brand looks amazing
My favourite is simple my husbands chicken curry it’s from his grandmother who was Sri Lankan and it’s a recipe that’s been handed down to my husbands father and my husband learnt it from him. I don’t even know what’s in it!! And people always ask how to cook it and he seals his lips and says I will teach my children when they’re ready!!
Leftovers are the best the next day! Especially lasagne & chow mein! I always cook double the quantity, with 3 sons who work outdoors, and 2 daughter’s still at school, its a quick, cheap and time saving tip for me! And looking at these food warmers, they are perfect for all of my fam bam!
My favourite would be my red chicken curry with rice ,it’s so simple to make super delicious and the smell makes everyone jealous.

My favorite warm winter food is pumpkin soup or any type of thai curry on rice. ?
My favorite is homemade vegetable stew made with pretty much any veggie that you have available at the time but primary is tomatoes, cabbage, onion, peppers, zucchini, celery, and garlic and chicken stock as the base.
My favourite is soup in this cold weather, but usually I take left overs from the day before to work. My son prefers hot food over a sandwich as he feels they fill him up more as he is a growing teenager. I still haven’t found a container that does a good job for either of us. These look really good.
Definitely a warm chicken curry, my husband makes the best curry and I love to pack it for a winter warmer lunch.

My fave warm lunch would be pumpkin soup and homemade sausage rolls with tomato sauce. Yum!
Without a doubt BEEF STROGANOFF! Mind you, given the multiple container layers in the Vaya lunchbox system why limit yourself to one favourite?!
I love a bacon and vegetable minestrone for lunch in winter with a crunchy bread roll.
I usually eat my lunch in the car ???? So my grandmas pumpkin soup is both yummy and a little safer as I can pop it in a thermos and drink it while I drive.

I love chicken and broccoli parcels as a warm winter lunch. They are simply chicken, broccoli, mixed herbs and cheese wrapped in filo sprinkled with sesame seeds and cooked in the oven. Simple to make and they freeze well so you can make big batches. The Vaya lunchbox would keep the parcels warm without letting the pastry go soggy.
My favourite warm winters lunch would have to be Pumpkin Soup……thick, creamy and just warms you all the way down to your toes
Leftovers are always a great go to, cook up enough the night before and lunch is already done.
I love left over spag bowl. I have always said I enjoy left spaghetti ? better!

Without a doubt I would have to say that my mums delicious roast chicken would be my favourite winter lunch time meal. Her chicken soup is a very close second as I usually have a pot of it sent over if I catch a cold. Being an Uber driver lunch time is super busy so I often find myself trying to grab a quick bite between trips.
Leftover spaghetti Bolognese is always a favourite warm winter lunch for us… That was up until now… The Vaya Tyffyn range opens up a world of possibilities! Yum!

My favourite warm winter lunch is Mexican tortilla soup made with hearty veggies like carrots, sweet corn, black beans, diced potatoes, tomatoes all slow cooked. When eating I top it with crushed tortilla chips, guacamole, sour cream and a sprinkle of cheese served with a warm bread roll. I could curl up in a cozy chair eating this!

To not have to waste my precious 30 min lunch break and already have my food warm would be a delight.
Thank you Vaya
I pack last nights leftovers for lunch and also add in healthy snacks to have on the run. This lunchbox would be perfect!
I especially love butter chicken (tonight was a double batch so everyone could take leftovers) and taking it warm to eat on the run would make it much more enjoyable and portable.
My favorite winter warmer is home made pumpkin soup with crusty bread. That or a great curry!!
My fave is curried snags with rice so so good the next day.
My favourite winter warm lunch is leftovers from dinner the night before!
My favourite winter warmer lunch is either leftovers like a pasta bake or curry and rice, fried rice or stir fry veg andrice or noodle. Yum!
Winter lunches for me, is anything kind of wet! Its like being hugged from the inside – soups, stews,curries and pasta with a saucy sauce. . Also fragrance is important, so you feel llike you are in nannas kitchen, and so your collegues moan and ask what you are eating. Not sharing! ?
My favourite is anything I didn’t have to cook ?
My favourite portable toasty warm lunch is a veggie packed curry. Fry some potatoes and sweet potatoes until they soften. Add onion, garlic and ginger to the pan. Then add half a tin of coconut milk. Then the creative part happens. Add which ever spices tickle your fancy, curry powder, cumin, paprika. Anything. After it’s simmered for a while, add a few more veggies to bulk it out, some coriander and a tin of chickpeas. Serve with cauliflower rice for extra nutritional input! (Blitz cauliflower, then fry up with some olive oil and salt and pepper). And there you go. Super quick easy, nutritious and cheap!!
My favourite warm winter lunch is Lasagne with a side of vegetables. The Vaya lunchbox would be perfect for me, so I could separate my foods, I’m one of those weidos who prefer certain foods not to touch!
Our 19 year old son has cerebral palsy and has just started uni this year. He has a four hour trip down to uni in the mornings and the same home. He has been either buying pizza for lunch or going without. This would be amazing for him to have a decent healthy lunch each day. He loves his dad’s vegie soup or his beef stews or even my apricot chicken and rice.
My favorite winter lunch is anything warm, nourishing and comforting. A dish that feels like a big warm hug. At the moment, any soups are really welcomed by my family! But I am stuck at the moment on chunky vege soup (potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, zucchini, onion, garlic & celery) with peal barley and topped with fresh croutons and a sprinkle of chili just before serving
Most definitely, fave winter portable food is a thick, creamy soup, however it usually doesn’t make it to wherever I’m going without leaking everywhere or becoming less than a desirable temperature. This would be ideal if it really does keep it hot and is leak proof! I’m in love!
Curry and rice is my staple hot meal to go!
I love any type of soup!!!
I would take vietnamese pho for lunch – yum! My whole family loves a hot lunch!
my favorite warm meal would have to be anything with pasta , im a sucker for pasta in the winter it fills me up and is just a warm comforting meal , with some fresh bread of course .
I love to take a chicken korma curry and rice. Always better the next day ??
I eat leftovers every day, but really don’t like sitting them in the work fridge until I zap then at lunchtime, because it gets opened and closed hundreds of times each day. I’ll probably win one of these, love it, and then have to buy Hubby one! Lol
I love any leftovers but my favourite would be by butter chicken and veg!!
My favorite winter warmer lunch is steaming savory mince and creamy mash. The steam rising when eating helps to make it a cost warming meal
Being a shift worker, my lunch could be a midnight so anything I have cooked for the family dinner could become my lunch. The ability to keep it warm would mean no more sandwiches! So bring on the curries, pasta and rissoles and veg.
Chicken and vegetable soup with little star pasta. Who doesn’t love little stars for lunch?
My favourite winter warmer lunch – leftovers (especially satay chicken) I’ve found it’s an easy way to make sure im looking after myself
My favorite warm winter lunch is any spicy curry with streaming hot rice ! Yum!!
If I’m honest…anything warm would be amazing for lunch! There’s often a line up for the microwave at work so I just can’t be bothered and always eat cold lunches. Having something warm and ready to go would be amazing…and might actually mean I make more of an effort to eat better. Nutella on toast doesn’t sound that bad! 😉
My favorite warm lunch Mexican mince with rice and also savory mince YUMMMM!!!!
Nothing better than my homemade sweet potato, chick pea curry soup with a crust of homemade bread. it would be great if i could take hot food with me to have between clients instead of nut bars and fruit.
My husband gets leftovers almost daily but this would be awesome to have for soup and bread as keeps everything seperate. Would also be perfect for a day out on the motorbike for our lunches to keep them fresh
I love leftovers of a hot vegetable rissoto with a nice drissle of persian feta. Delicious and comforting.
After reading the suggestions from others which by the way is making me feeling hungry, slightly envious of your lunch boxes and given me some more ideas for future lunches. I would have to say that My absolute favourite meal at lunch would have to be leftover roast chicken made into a curry.
It tastes even better if my Mum has made it – brings back childhood memories too.
I love the look of the Vaya Tyffyn – I may have to purchase one as well.

My favourite go to lunch is Red Thai Curry or one of your fabulous receipes which at times have been a life saver!
My favourite winter lunch is vegetable broth with tofu in. I make a big batch of broth, freeze it in portions and just grab a portion in the morning. I buy a packet of 4 pre-marinaded tofu blocks and chop one up each day. Once the soup is hot I pop them in – yum.
Filling, very warming & nourishing and cheap as chips!

Pumpkin soup or roast veges with gravy
This will be more for my husband who is a tradie…he is a plumber and just takes any leftovers from the night before’s dinner!
Homemade fried rice with spicy chicken wings
I love last nights dinner. I just cook an extra serve or two, then put it straight into a lunch box and into the fridge. Saves time in the morning when we’re in a rush to get out the door.
I love making pumpkin soup on the wood fire. I put it on when I go to bed and wake up to a lovely smell in the morning ?
My favourite winter lunch idea is my own pea and ham soup with some crusty bread on the side.
If no leftovers from last night’s tea then definitely some thick soup like pumpkin, minestrone or pea and ham.
chicken & tomato risotto with fresh grated pecorino cheese is definitely
a winter warmer lunch favourite.
The lunch I like to take on the ‘Vaya’ with me is chicken tortilla soup. Anything Mexican is good on the ‘Vaya’ or to stay in. Of course having a Vaya lunchbox which would keep the tortilla chips and other toppings separate from the soup PLUS keep my soup warm would make eating on the ‘Vaya’ that much more enjoyable. Vaya!!
Nothing beats pumpkin soup & sourdough toast topped with Parmesan cheese to warm you up in a winters day, although I am one to forget about myself and make sure the kids have full lunch boxes.
My favourite winter warmer lunch is lentil stew, it’s packed with protein nice and warm but also gives a beautiful spicy kick! I have to eat lunch in the car slot so insulated lunchboxes are a must.

I love homemade Chicken and Corn Soup to soothe my soul and chase away the colds! : P
With just 30 minutes for lunch and others wanting the microwave at work, I am regularly eating my previous nights leftovers for lunch cold! My all time favourite is macaroni beef, with lots of veg through it too. The possibilities are endless, a comforting curry would be tempting too.
A mixture of curries made a few nights ago so that the flavours have time to develop and are filled with lots of ginger, garlic & spices that will hep build up my immune system & fight off all those dreaded winter bugs 😀
I can’t go past a hearty pumpkin soup for my favourite winter warmer!

Guinness pie or beef stroganoff in winter. Is my indulgent go to meal in winter.

I love to have broccoli and cheese soup and I use up the broccoli stalks which I keep in the freezer for stick and soup and I sneak a small piece of gruyere in it. My five & a half year old likes the cheesy soup too which has a whole head of broccoli and some stalks in it. Great use of left overs but a nice warming filling soup on a cold wintry day.
Ddokbukgi- a spicy korean rice cake dish! Super delicious warm but hard and chewy when cold!:(
My extra thick homemade pumpkin and sweet potato soup with some warm crusty sourdough bread.
Warm noodle salad. Not too heavy but enough to keep you going with the heaviness and keep you warm.
Anything warm and filling is comforting on a cold winters day so I’m not fussy at all. Some veggies and crunchy bread to complement it or soak up any delicious juices or gravy makes it perfect. To be able to carry it and lay it out in a Vaya would be amazing as I would no longer have to juggle a heap of containers or heat things up in a microwave…would be winning on all counts!?
My winter warm lunch is homemade baked beans with chorizo!
My fav is thick pumpkin and bacon soup topped with a little sour cream!
My favourite warm winter lunch is tomato and lentil Dahl. It is our five year olds fave dinner and there are always leftovers. It tastes better the next day too!
Minestrone soup is absolutely my favourite! So delicious, nutritious and warming to the body and soul.

Definitely spaghetti bolognaise every time.
My families favourite winter meal is a morrocan chicken casserole that I do. Love it with some rice and maybe a flat bread . These lunch boxes would be perfect for it.

Nothing beats homemade pumpkin soup with home baked fresh bread rolls.
Followed by homemade bread and butter baked custard.

My favourite portable warm winter lunch is beef Stew.
My favourite winter lunch (in Darwin) is salmon, feta, avocado and coriander all mixed together with kewpie mayo on sourdough toast!! Mmm yum! Is it lunch time yet!?
Minestrone soup – and a fresh bread roll picked up on the way into work – the soup is topped with a bit of grated cheese – I am usually so eager that I burn my tongue on the first mouthful. Thanks for the opportunity.
My winter favourite is sticky rice, savoury tomato chutney and boiled eggs. It is my comfort food when I have a cold especially a sore throat. Give it a try and you will know what I’m talking about. You need separate containers though or else it will become one soggy mess.
I can’t go past a hearty minestrone soup! so filling and warms you right up. I make it in bulk and the whole family loves eating all day everyday 🙂

I am a mobile travel agent and always looking at ways to keep my leftovers warm. I just love the idea of these gorgeous portable lunchboxes.
Coconut lentil curry pumpkin soup. Warms the body warms the heart!
AnYtHiNg LeFtOvEr from DiNnEr ? simplifies lunch planning
Any day old curry! The flavours have merged and developed the second day and they always taste better when there is no prep and all the dishes are already done 🙂
My favourite warm lunch is a Dahl, butter chicken & rice, some curried veg &/ a samosa or pappadam or two …. or three …. depends how much my lunch box can hold.
I love cooking extra and reserving portions for lunches. Extra baked veges turned into quiches. Bolognaise turned into toasted sandwiches. Leftover corned beef and brussel sprouts and baked potato made into hash. Somehow things always taste better the next day.
I like any left overs from the night before. My husband hasn’t come across anyone who loves left overs as much as me. But a favourite is Saffron rice, chicken korma or lamb vindaloo. Naan bread to mop up the sauces. When I’m creative a cucumber riata. The beauty of the Tyffyn is that my husband can share in the left overs as he is on the road all day and doesn’t have access to a microwave like me .
This would be a godsend for my hubby who is a mobile diesel fitter. Often out in the bush with no access to a microwave. This would be fantastic to put leftovers in, healthy and save us money.
Slow cooker lamb shank casseroles are the best
Leftovers from the night before, always tastes better the next day
Beef, Vegetable and Barley Soup with a crusty bread roll
These look wonderful! We adore our slow cooker in the cooler months and working outdoors means it can be fresh. Nothing would warm the soul more than a delicious chicken noodle or creamy pumpkin soup.
Home made chicken and vegetable soup with lots of cracked pepper.
My favourite is my mum’s slow cooker braised steak and onions on a bed of mashed potatoes I always request my mum to make it everytime we visit for dinner and a close 2nd would be my dad’s pea and ham soup mmmmm.
My favorite lunch would have to be leftover Taco meat and salad. I grab a wrap then assemble at work with some extra cheese and sour cream. Love it!
I love a lunch you can put together when you’re ready to eat it such as fajitas, some yummy chicken & veg in a wrap with some cool sour cream with spicy salsa hits the spot every time ? Great for sharing too
My favourite would have to be my husbands pumpkin soup!
Home grown pumpkins and everything.
Lunch for the week cooked on Sunday for work is chickpea curry with freekeh or burgul, the aroma fills the staffroom, as does my DoTERRA in the office.
The favourite in my household for my daughter’s school lunch is left over homemade pesto that her daddy makes. It’s the one school lunch where there are no leftovers, she scoffs the lot! She is happy to eat it cold but would love it even more if she could have it hot. Served with parmesan and avocado on top, it’s the best!!
Cauliflower, chickpea, pumpkin and spinach korma curry is my favourite winter lunch.
Always tastes better as a ‘leftovers’ meal!

Anything with rice is my go to winter lunch! Add beef, potatoes and carrot from the night before or fried rice! Hearty, convenient and easy!
Love a nice warm curry n rice.
By far, leftover fish tacos or any type of taco meal. The Vaya Tyffyn lunchbox will allow me to have fish or chill con carne in the bottom compartment (yum!), the tortillas in the middle and the salad and condiments in the top compartment. Working mostly between offices and doing lots of driving throughout the day, means that I will finally be able to have my lunch on the go aswell as save me a huge amount of money as I will not need to buy hot meals – not only will it help with saving money but also allow me to make better food choices:-)
Soup!
Soup or pasta, especially a thick and creamy pumpkin soup or a chicken carbonara
Homemade Beef & Guinness pie. It brings a little bit of home (Ireland) into my partners day and it’s easy and delicious!
I always make sure I cook extra Thai sweet potato & lentil soup for dinner, enough so there are leftovers for another dinner & lunches. It is a delicious, warming soup made even better served with crunchy toast for dipping!
I’ve never thought to take hot leftovers for myself ?. I’d definitely take chilli con carne with cous cous…
I make this lovely warming chicken gumbo of sorts. Its great for winter with a bite from the cajun and based on a bone broth so great for the immunity.
Easy – Leftovers from the night before. I cook lots of homemade soups – Sweet Potato, Pumpkin, Minestrone… I also do a Gnocchi, Pesto & Spinach dinner which the kids love to take for lunch with lots of cheese on top; another winner is my Rice & Beans dish. A Vaya tyffyn would be soooo handy for taking hot lunches!
Definitely Thai Green Chicken Curry with rice. It’s warming, delicious and filling.
My hubby does shift work and his fave foods at any time of the day is chilli con carne loaded with vegges and beans, served with rice or corn chips, chesse and sour cream. Followed by a second serving which he puts in a wrap with salad ingredients for his other meal break- and handy for me it’s only one meal to cook!
Nothing beats lasagna – I think it tastes even better as leftovers!
I normally cook a soup each week and keep extras in the freezer in jars ready to take to work. That way I get a variety of soups each day. My favourite though is my spicy Asian pumpkin soup made with my homegrown pumpkins!
This is probably one of the best designed lunch boxes I have ever seen, I would be so lucky to win something so amazing to show off in the office..
Good old potato bake. Tastes better the day after and uses up all the left over vegies and meat in the fridge. Yum!

My favourite is a Japanese katsu curry. It’s so warm and wholesome and perfect for a chilly winters day.
My favourite warmed meal would be any leftovers from the night before, but all time favourite would be chicken stir fry. My husband works in the cold and would love to take to work in these dishes homemade sausage rolls.
I love a good chicken stir fry, yum yum! veggies and protein, sesame seeds delicious! I love having a hearty meal for lunch and a lighter meal for dinner.
Leftovers! I always cook extra for hubby and I, it stops is from grabbing junk food on the run.
my favourite would.have to be warm spiced butternut soup and cheese toasties. yum!!
It would have to be beef stew and rice for me. It’s such a warm winter dish perfect for freezing wintery days.
My absolute favourite would be spag bog. This is a famly favourite for us, thus the reason for always making it double. Hubby and I would take to work, and the kids would enjoy it at school in their little thermos.
MY HOME-MADE LASAGNA ALWAYS TASTES BETTER THE NEXT DAY.
Homemade curry pumpkin soup with chicken and mushroom omelette (the omelette doesn’t reheat well so something to keep it in to keep warm would be amazing) ?

My favourite is being able to keep The Organised Housewife’s Sausage (vegetable packed) Rolls warm for my son to take to school, as he’ll only eat them if they are warm. For me, leftovers are my go-to lunch during winter, anything that will warm my belly and avoid having to wait to use the microwave in our tiny kitchen at work.
I love a bowl of roasted vegetables and chickpeas – Simone, filling and delicious
Soup! or maybe frankfurts – yum!

My favorite warm winter lunch is my mums minestroni soup, it really warms you up on the inside on a cold winters day, its hearty so your tummy stays happy for longer and super healthy too!
Warm leftover chicken curry (or any curry in fact), warm saffron rice and warn naan bread. For dessert, warm homemade custard or Rice Pudding. This would be so perfect for my lifestyle!

Pumpkin soup is definitely a favourite in winter, but any sort of curry or throw together meal using leftovers. This product seems amazing as you can separate your sides and add them in when you are ready.
Homemade KFC 😀 We make and freeze crumbed chicken that tastes a lot like kfc. Then when we’re heading out on a car trip we reheat it and wrap it in alfoil in a large Sistema container. We have taken this to the beach, the speedway, holiday fun events….pretty much everywhere we go. My hubby and the kids also take it cold to work and school sometimes.
My go-to portable warm lunch is usually soup because it’s easiest to eat out of normal thermal flasks. The possibilities are literally endless in a thermal lunch box though! I’d definitely be playing around with lunches that were higher in protein and vegetables with lots of tasty sauces – probably mostly Asian-inspired. Yum.
My favourite winter warmer lunch is Mexican style pulled beef with beans on a toasted wrap with a mexican salad salsa including corn, black beans pepitas, spanish onion tomato and jalapenos yummo add some shredded lettuce, cheese and sour cream and your are set to be satisfied all afternoon.
Stir fries with rice, roasts, soups and stews, I can’t decide!

Definitely spaghetti bol, hubby makes the most delicious sauce and it’s my favourite meal ever
My sons favourite is home made beef, veg and barley stew nothing warms him up as much and as he has ASD it can be hard to find bings he likes

Hi Kat,
You always showcase some really cool products. These containers look awesome!!!! I would take any dinner leftovers. Chicken curry and rice, stir fry, pasta. Soup. The microwaves at work are always busy at lunchtime. I end of having lunch later to avoid the queues. This would be a lifesaver! I would eat lunch early and go for a walk! Eating healthy and exercise. Winning combo for this mumma!!! Thanks :0)
Simple spaghetti bol + garlic bread. My kids and hubby take this almost everyday to school & work. My own personal fav is homemade butter chicken & rice. Perfect for cold winter days

Anything home made tastes better than buying it from the hospital canteen, so these would be just bliss to have! xo

Leftovers are the greatest, I love cooking up a big batch of something warm and comforting so I can have leftovers for days. I’d love to use this container for hearty vegetable rogan josh, or my current obsession, Taco soup! Its super easy to make and I grate and hide tons of veggies in it and the kids don’t even notice because they’re so excited about the corn chips scattered on top of the soup. We homeschool so our days are full of outdoor adventures and there’s rarely anywhere to warm up food, these lunchboxes would be absolutely perfect for our adventuring!
Spaghetti Lentil bolognaise with lots of grated vegetables and tomato pasta sauce – easy, warm, rich, filling and nourishing
A warming lamb curry accompanied by spicy pea and potato samosas is my idea of winter comfort food and I am sure I would be the envy of others around me when I indulge in such fantastic fare watching my favourite football team play in the AFL.

My favourite winter lunch is homemade pumpkin and lentil soup
A beautiful thick minestrone with pasta is always a great winter warmer… day old of course!
My favourite Winter Warmer food is a mild (chicken or lamb and veggie stew )Indian style with grated ginger & garlic a hint of a green chilli chopped into small pieces. and simmered in some light coconut cream with a dash of lemon juice to finish. Um um.
I love leftovers, especially things like spaghetti bolognese, soup or casserole. With this lunch box I would be able to have chilli in one compartment, chips in another and have nachos which would be lovely.
I especially love left over curry for lunch in winter, it always seems to taste better the next day.
Mine is a delicious homemade Split Pea & Ham soup. The Vava would be the perfect size with the separate compartments for winter and a cover is an added bonus.
My favourite is steaming hot chicken and vegetable stew with garlic bread. Yummy!! Yummy!! on a cold winter’s day.
My favourite winter lunch is leftovers! yum yum yum!
My favourite portable warm winter lunch is soup but any leftovers from the night before works just as well.
Good old pasta bolognese. and it’s always better as leftovers the next day. yummo!
My favourite portable winter winter lunch is cheats pies. Left overs like beef stew, chicken curry kept warm in a thermos. In the sandwich press, I reheat puff pastry squares from the weekend prep, (don’t forget to put your initials on the pastry, so no one stills them). And viola, cheats pies and it changes left overs into something special.
cook up some macaroni pasta in the thermos. when that is cooked, sprinkle and stir in grated cheese and a dash of milk. all the kids love it and it is done in under 10 min.
A nice warm bowl of Potato, Leek and Bacon Soup with crusty Turkish Bread.

Looooove hot leftovers as a money saving lunch, but otherwise I can’t go past pumpkin soup in winter!
I have this cool recipe for Healthy Microwaved Mug Soup that can be made fresh and we used to use it all the time at work. It has fresh chopped carrot, celery and corn, stock powder, egg and water. Tasted amazing. Otherwise we did microwaved corn on the cob!
All recipes are a great help managing diet for elderly and allow storage of items

Yummy The meat is divine, even if it does look like dog food when you first pull it out of the jar..ahahaha
Left overs are the best !!! Tuscan Chicken or soup for me, Mini Quiches or Lasagne for Hubby, Spaghetti Bolognese for Mr 10 & Sausage Rolls for Miss 8. These warmers look amazing!
Curried beef mince loaded with veggies, or some hard boiled eggs (imagine being able to keep them warm!) and some decent bread 🙂
I love left over beef stroganoff, or as my daughter says “Beef Strong-Enough” (it’s too cute to correct). Though with a fussy husband who doesn’t like mushrooms, I make it with carrots, celery and broccoli. Works out amazingly! Always nice to hear the children say “oh, I love this one!!”.
Our top fav is chicken noodle soup made with homemade bone broth ?
So many to choose from but my top three favourites are: * Thai pumpkin soup, * Tikka Masala and * Spag Bol
Yummo
Mine would have to be pumpkin soup with naan bread (made in thermie) and then a good pad Thai ?
Left over dinner like curry chicken, homemade pie, stew. Yum!
My favourite winter lunch is Pea and Ham soup (from a recipe that has been passed down through my family) it always brings back childhood memories, and now I make it for my family. On the cold winter days when there is no soup, then any leftovers which in winter are normally a slow cooker meal of some description. So to be lucky enough to win the 1300ML TYFFYN would be fantastic!
My favorite winter time lunch food is any leftovers we have left,. Losts of fried beans and Spanish rice.
Can’t beat homemade pea and ham soup with a nice crusty bread for a winter’s lunch.
My personal favourite warm lunch, is an old family recipe of pumpkin soup. Loaded with root veggies & lots of garlic… nothing is better (& more cosier) then tucking in to a warm bowl of pumpkin soup whilst your rugged up with your favourite jumper! ? ?? ?

Love veggie lentil soup!
I love soup. Any kind really but probably a chunky minestrone is my all time fav!
“What’s your favourite portable warm winter lunch?”
Soup of course, but that goes nicely with warmed leftovers rather than cold ones. Thinking of last night’s dinner, fresh asparagus, steamed Costco chicken, a small bit of hand made mash potatoes, with a sauted mushroom and sweet onion gravy, with no salt in the dish.
My favourite winter meal is butter (not chicken) cauliflower curry. Always a favourite with a side serve of quinoa rice.
I love a warm pasta salad. Mmm I wish it was lunch time right now. 😀
My favorite is a good spicy vegetable soup. There is nothing better on a cold day than that.
When I worked in Hong Kong as a teacher all my students had lunch containers like these. These are the best looking ones I have seen here in Australia, but it looks like they are an international brand! So many containers aren’t liquid tight so I can’t wait to try them out. My hubby had leftover satay chicken and rice for lunch today – it would have been much better if he could have tried out a Vaya Tyffyn!
It has got to be a nourishing chicken and veggie doup, loaded with enough garlic and ginger to help keep the dreaded winter flu at bay.
Homemade pumpkin soup, with wind crusty bread.
My fav is my home made pumpkin soup with warm crusty garlic bread. Food for the soul on a cold winters day!

I love all kinds of hearty soups especially this time of year, they warm the belly and soul
Left over home made Lasagna. With a big family , four teenage children I have to hide this somewhere at the back of the fridge first to ensure it is still there the next day. I saw someone using these lunch containers on a train the other day and was very envious
Definately leftovers. Thai red beef curry is my favourite.
Hands down curried sausages and let’s face it leftovers are always better the next day because the flavour works its magic in the fridge overnight 🙂
My favourite winter warmer would definitely be my homemade Roast Butternut Pumpkin and Honey Soup. So simple yet tastes so good on a cold day.
As a kid it was always dads sausage stew (he didn’t cook anything else, mum pretty much always cooks) but these days I love a good Shepard’s pie!!
I don’t generally have time for a sit down lunch when I am at work, but if I did and if it would be home made pumpkin soup. Filling, warming and delicious.
Homemade sausage rolls (and don’t forget the tomato sauce!)
I don’t take my lunch to work with me as I travel for work however I will absolutely need to look into this, I’m not a big fan of soup thanks to morning sickness memories so pasta is my winter go to. My favorite the chicken pumpkin and pasta lunch (your recipe) or I just got a recipe from daycare for pasta carbonara the kids both Loved, I would certainly take these work.
Macaroni Cheese!!!
My favourite warm winter lunch would have to be tuna mornay just the way my mum used to make when I was young.
Nothing better than left over Spaghetti Bolognaise with Feta cheese ?
Meatballs and mashed potato so good amd comforting in this cooler weather ?
A rich, saucy casserole is always amazing on a cold winter’s day (or in frigid office air conditioning), especially with a crusty bread roll – which has hopefully made the journey uncrushed
My favourite warm winter lunch is left over chow mein ( The organised housewife version). This is my family go to meal which always allows left overs for the next day!
I love leftover spag boll mince with a fresh bread roll that has loads of butter on it. Yum!
My favourite warm winter lunch is leftover Italian Beef Casserole, a recipe that has done the rounds in several generations of my family, and is a hit with everyone! Not having to ‘take a ticket and wait’ for the microwave in the lunchroom, instead using an amazing Vaya system, would only add more appeal!
My favourite would have to be a lamb and barley soup. Oh so delicious and super healthy (and the kids love it too).
My kids favourite atm is beef brisket with bbq sauce on a roll with cheese and lettuce for their school lunches!
Some nourishing soup is my favourite warm winter lunch. Yum!

Leftovers and homemade soups are the best!!!
My favourite winter lunch is Minestrone soup full of beans and veg with a nice fresh bread roll. Easy, cheap and filling.

Leftover Spagetti Bolognese. Hmm, always good! Not always possible without a Vaya Tiffin. ??
I love bento style meals or poke bowls so I can a) use up leftovers and b) because I can never decide what I want to eat so this way I can eat ALL the things 😉
Lentil soup or Dahl is my favourite, or a warm soup made with leftover roast veggies. Curries too!
Then some sort of salad or fermented veg, sprouted legumes or edamame beans.
Home made hommous.
And of course something sweet like homemade apple pie or a warm slice.
Like I said, all the things!
My favourite portable winter lunch would have to be minestrone soup with chorizo. Nutritious, warming, with just enough kick in the flavour. And the great thing is, most vegetables you have in the fridge can be used, it doesn’t have to be specific vegetables!
any leftovers would be great to have in it as I love the way it just enhances the flavours especially curries. YUMMO
A warming chicken soup is my favourite. Being a paramedic I cant always have access to a microwave. A thermos would be ideal.
I must say my preference would be a veggie curry. My son has been asking me why he can’t take pasta to school- so he would pick bolognaise with farfalle or penne.
I love curry pumpkin soup with sourdough bread. So yummy!
Instant chicken cup noodles with a scoop of black-bean chilli top with a generous handful of shredded lettuce.
My favourite winter lunch would have to be left overs but particularly left over curries.
With the 1300 Tyffyn, I could put curry in one compartment, rice in another and naan bread in another.
At the moment I catch the train to work 2 hours each way. It’s such a balancing act with a bag full of containers with my food in it. A few times my containers have leaked.
Life would be so much easier with this Tyffyn!
My go to winter lunch. I scrub a whole sweet potato and wrap it in cling film. Microwave for 4 mins on high. Bam! – cooked sweet potato ready to walk out the door with. A super healthy, filling snack.
Luscious chicken pieces in a creamed corn and spring onion goo, over a bed of soft brown rice. Cosy and warm like a good bed in winter.
