Discussion Bento Box Recommendations

193 Upvotes

This gets brought up frequently, so I thought I'd make a stickyed thread for it. Please post brands or resources you'd recommend to others looking to start prepping bento boxes.

I think Monbento and Bento Haven are good places to start, but what do you think?

Trying to get my 6y/o niece into bentos

Trying to indoctrinate the next generation into my hobbies lol. I got a cute kid friendly bento book from the library (Everyday Bento by Wendy Thorpe Copley) and brought it over to show her hoping she’d pick one and we could make it together. She picked a rainbow themed bento so I chopped the fruit and she arranged it into a rainbow. I also helped her make the yogurt fruit dip in the little container. The book called for a roll, which we didn’t have but we did have some homemade sourdough. And instead of lunch meat I rolled up a piece of turkey bacon for her. She brought it to school with her today, I’ll have to get her review of the meal when I pick her up.

Soboro Bento

Hi,

I am a single dad desperately terrible at cooking.

Today I made a Soboro bento for my 13yrs son so that he might go to school.

It looks awful, but it tastes good for sure.

..... Probably

Left side (Lunch bento) Right side (Dinner Bento) I have a very long shift at work today, so this morning I made this 2 layered bento, I'm working a double shift so I made sure to pack lunch and dinner in one bento! Like I said before I'm a simple eater, I made sure to keep the lunch bento light so I can have room for dinner later on. I don't leave work until 12am so I'm sure I'll be hungry by then, if not then I have another bento for tomorrow! 👍🏾
