Drink containers

We homeschool but pack lunch for co-op once a week and sometimes for park etc. I am going to be sewing some snack baggies, sandwich wraps and lunch sacks to eliminate the enormous amount of zipplocs and paper sacks we went though last year. What about drinks though? All my kids have SS water bottles, but they will be carrying them around with water in them. We have been buying 100% juice boxes and its a fun treat since we dont drink alot of juice. It would be so much cheaper, besides the garbage factor, to have something I could fill up with milk, juice, green smoothie anything. We have a fridge at co-op so it doesnt have to be a thermos, although that might work. I want something easy to clean and lightweight to carry. Any ideas? Oh and they can't cost a fortune. I have 7 kids :-) Thanks!

I had these Rubbermaid litterless juice boxes when I was a kid (usually filled with milk), and I've bought some recently for myself (pretty sure they're labelled BPA free now).

They cost about $3-4 each for the 8 oz size.

DDs has stood up to a couple of years of school lunches, though I have had to squash the straw back into shape to make sure it stays sealed since she chews it.

We didn't do well with the cups with silicone straws, they chewed them so much that I had to keep chopping of the broken ends. Then they quickly got to short to actually seal closed. I think they would be fine for kids that do not chew so much
