Instructions

  1. Fill each compartment of a Bento or lunch meal box with the various items.

 

Tips: 

  • For ingredient ideas, think of variety and color – savory, sweet and crunchy foods!
  • Include all the major food groups – protein, fruits, veggies, dairy and grains.
  • Add a favorite dip, such as guacamole, salsa, hummus or nut butter!
  • Separate crunchy ingredients from fruits and veggies to prevent sogginess.

 

Simple Swaps:  

  • Use leftovers! Let your imagination go wild!
  • Take short cuts with store-bought items like pasta salads, hard boiled eggs or stuffed grape leaves.
  • Use fresh, canned and dried fruit as your sweet treat.
  • Vary your proteins – cheeses, nut butter, leftover meat, edamame, roasted chickpeas or beef jerky.
