Get All Bento Into Shape

The Bento box (aka laptop lunch box) has been touted recently in several media outlets as a diet-savvy tool. Essentially, the Bento box is a food storage container with several various-sized compartments. The Bento has long been used in Japanese culture for takeout or box lunches. When you think about it, the Bento has several built-in qualities that support healthy eating habits. The sectioned compartments take the guesswork out of portion sizes and help you get a healthy mix of food. Try to fill the compartments with all the colors of the rainbow for a good nutrient balance.

Not only that, but the Bento is also a great reusable alternative to plastic baggies, brown bags and other disposable packaging. It keeps all your different tastes from mixing. And a single box means fewer dishes to do at the end of the day too! Bringing homemade food to work is a great way to save money and your health, so stash your leftovers in one of these!

We recommend fruits and veggies over crackers and chips!

This plastic storage container has three sections for snacks and a separate compartment over the top for a sandwich or utensils.  

These small snack containers even keep your food cool until lunchtime with freezable gel. With the 3-cup capacity, you’re well on your way to your daily recommended vegetable servings. Hint: measure out the capacity of the reusable plastic containers you already own once and you’ll always have portion sizes under control.
