I’m a huge fan of little containers filled with different foods so you have a variety of good eats. I love bento-style lunchboxes where the foods are separated. This way, they don’t run together, get soggy, or blend until you are ready. Especially if eating a salad for lunch, you can divide the dressing from the vegetables and the crispier foods from the wet foods. When you’re ready to eat your meal, you mix what you want, and you have fresh food at your fingertips.

I was thrilled when Bentology offered to give me one of their latest and greatest Bento Sets.

The classic 6-piece set has a big container for the main entrée, 3 smaller containers for sides, and 1 mini container for dessert. They all fit nicely into a lunchbox with a compartment for your silverware, too. The container sizes make portion control easy because you can only fit so much food into each one. These lunchboxes are great for adults and kids. I’m a fan!

After being inspired with my new lunchbox, I made 10 delicious bento lunch ideas for you to enjoy as much as I do. Whether you are eating your lunch at work or going back to school, these lunches are delish.
