Preparing the same lunches for a whole week can become mundane and uninspiring. Consuming the same meal repeatedly can make eating feel like a tedious task. Enter Bento boxes—they are a fantastic way to inject some fun back into your lunches. These meal prep options divide your meal into different sections (essentially adult lunchables!). The basic concept typically includes protein, carbohydrates, and a serving of fruits or vegetables. This structure allows you to vary your sides each day, offering a variety so you don’t have to eat the same meal repeatedly. For instance, have celery and ranch as a side on one day and an apple with peanut butter the next, while keeping the main portion consistent.
If the idea of your food touching makes you cringe, consider investing in a Bento box with divided sections. Alternatively, you can simply place everything in your preferred meal prep container and you’re good to go!
