It's nice to see more alternatives emerging. As far as keeping lunches in our home refrigerated (I pack for my kids daily), we freeze their horizon or go-gurt yogurt tubes and use them in place of ice packs. We found they worked a lot better than frozen juice boxes- which would not completely melt by lunchtime and ended up being half ice/ half juice. If your girls like yogurt, you may find this works a lot better for you as well.

Despite our best efforts we are firmly entrenched in the 2-year-old's fruit and cracker rut. Hopefully she will have cleared this little hurdle by the time she goes off to school because some of those recipes look awesome! Oh, Melissa, how I envy you.
