BENTO BOX LUNCH IDEAS | for work or back to school + healthy meal prep recipes
Bento box lunches are a great way to pack for lunch on-the-go. Choose an assortment of healthy ingredients for vibrant meals and balanced nutrition that’s utterly convenient for work or school. The best part? You often don’t need to heat them up. So all you have to do is open the box, dig in, and enjoy.
Because I love to meal prep, I also chose salads, snacks, and other recipes that are durable and can be meal prepped, saving you time in the kitchen throughout the week. It makes for fast bento box assembly!

Does the sandwich get mushy or the avocado bitter? how do you avoid this, I have that doubt
Don't do it unless you are fully prepared for all the cleanup.😅 that's all you're doing is creating a ton of dishes LMAO
Amazing lunches for smart and healthy kids!
Friends at school or colleagues won't appreciate that greek salad 😄😝🫢
You educate your family and us so well. Thank you.
You guys helped a lottt
Add ice while making hummus
Hey Lisa! Just watched your bento box vid and omg I'm so inspired! Your ideas are so cool and easy to make. Gonna try some of them out for my lunch this week. Thx for sharing, girl!
Awesomeee❤
I'm about 90% vegetarian so I eat salad often. My go to, before I retired, was romaine chopped salad or iceberg lettuce with bleu cheese dressing. The only items I added were cucumbers, carrots, a little green bell pepper and sprouts. Add black pepper and I was done. Just a simple salad but, from the reactions of some coworkers, it was exotic. This was because their lunches were fast food only. And I won't even tell you how my "peasant lunch" (hearty soup, cheese, fruit) blew their minds
great content
Your recipes, more than anyone’s, are my favorite to make. I always want to make anything you post.
Menu BESAR tuh

so the zuchinni noodles are raw?
My kid hate soggy fruits and veggies i don't know what to do. Is there any lunch box that keeps the veggies and fruits fresh and cold? Cold as it is from refrigerator? I add apple, cucumber, olives, grapes but he brings it back and says i don't like it warm and soggy😒

Stellar video. Im going to try them all❤
❤❤❤❤
The lids on the Bento boxes are nearly impossible to remove. I bought 2 sets and cannot stand them. Pretty but not functional on any level.
The bento boxes are already pretty big, so adding ice packs to it would make it really uncomfortable to lug to work. These are a major pass
Loved these recipes! ❤
I'm hungry.
Add 1 grated carrot to that tuna salad. Yum!!
I'm Always Hungry after watching Lisa's videos!!!
Wish the boxes weren’t so expensive.
Most of these meals are like 200 calories…
Really love your work. Great preparation 🎉 must try. Love from India
WHY eat raw onion when you're at school or work? You're gonna gross everyone out with your onion breath
Well that's time I won't get back we all can boil an egg!
Everything Looks yummy!
awsome ideas, happy for sur. maybe teach those kids how to use a knife propperly? cutting with 2 hands and more pushing than slicing is wayting for a incident 😉
The Humus nobody talks about adding meat to the blend…becomes an award winner
No, we are not used to eat that food. It looks amazing but I am so sorry ..feta cheese? It is not too salty? Pesto sos? Hmmm…not everyone likes that combination…
Thank you for your hard work
The salad looks amazing 😍
I justhave one general question about the salatwith onion. Is this meant to be stored in a fridge until it gets eaten? I thought uncooked onion can be dangerous to store?
I know I’m late to the party but I love seeing how you bond with your niece and nephew❤️ they have a great aunt!!!
That melon ball salad looks very interesting. I've never seen something like that before.
Sorry if this asked/answered in another comment – what would the recommendation for cooling/ice packs be for these lunches?
So cool LISA
Could you be anymore spamvertisement? Seriously. I love bento boxes, but you made this seem like it was a late night advertisement. Just no. After hearing the rest of this video. I can't even. This is not even worthwhile. My ears want to just bleed and my mental state feels your kids should blink twice if they're okay.
Nice idea❤❤❤❤
Just imagine showing up to school everyday with these lunches that look fancy- instead of the greasy pizza-
Makes me so sad to see kids this age, young adults, so lacking in basic manual dexterity and knife skills. Please start teaching kids young and give them daily opportunities to become competent at basic tasks. I started learning to use a knife at 4, my kids did too.
I love your meal prep videos ❤
