Bento Style

Bento lunch boxes are growing more and more popular from making neat lunches for your children to being able to control what you eat yourself to eat healthier. I love that this has 4 locking clips as well as a silicone seal which keeps everything in its own compartment.

Our family uses these for snacks for the kids when school is in session, on weekends, and during vacations. These are great to plan out snacks or lunches for the week as well. With this lunch box you get one lunch box but they are so nice because of that seal that keeps everything where you put it.

If you microwave in these make sure the latches are not locked and the top is turned sideways to vent.

We give this Bento lunch box a big thumbs up,

The Sunsella Bento Lunch Box can be found on Amazon.

Yummi Pouch

Are you looking for a new way to go green a little more? You might want to check out the sandwich and snack bags from Yummi Pouch. They come in 3 packs and have several designs to choose from. I really like that they have a zipper so that my children's snacks do not fall out and there sandwich stays put together between home and lunch time.

These can be used for school lunches, picnics, work, etc. We put everything from sandwiches to snacks inside of the Yummi Pouches. To clean you can wash in your washer in cold water and hang to dry. We put ours into a delicates bags so we can find them quickly and save them from the dryer. We give these a thumbs up for going green.

Bento box dividers

These little gems have so many uses from baking, making crafts, chocolate concoctions, sorting items, to making lunches look awesome and exciting.

You get 2 of each color in red, blue, green, pink, orange, and yellow. These look super cute in the bento style boxes I reviewed a while back.

The girls love grazing more than eating a whole meal while they are out and about so this works great for day camp, car trips, and playground runs for us.

I can put a little of this a little of that and they will be happy because they have an array of delectable morsels to choose from.

You can find these little muffin liners on Amazon.


Silicone Lunch and Bento Box Dividers, 12 Pack of Vivid Colored Lunch Box Dividers

Take that square bento or lunch box, and divide it just however many times you please! Using the Cornucopia Brands silicone bento and lunch box dividers you can divide a square lunch box multiple times and keep food apart.

You can also take a common 3 compartment bento style lunch box, and add few of these to the large square compartment and get additional divided portions.

Many customers use these dividers as muffin baking cups as well, which is 100% safe and does work, in that we use food and high temperature safe BPA free silicone to construct these dividers. You can use these to bake, mold chocolate, freeze ice or homemade popsicles, among other activities. Although our dividers are slightly different in that they are a tad shorter in height than other molds specifically made for cupcakes, they do still work very well for cooking.

Do these activities and more:

-Divide meal prep containers

-Store dressing and oils with your salad

-Portion nuts, chocolate, and snacks for weight loss

-Make your children a beautiful lunch

-Pack sauces safely and avoid mixing with other foods

-Turn plain square containers into bento boxes with multiple storage portions

Bento Style Lunch Anyone?

The first time I saw a Bento box was in the movie Breakfast Club, and then again at my old friend's house, she was Asian and this is how her mother packed her lunches. Now with Bento Style lunches being all of the rage and a really fun way to get your children to eat healthy, try new eats, as well as having a well balanced meal, this might be something you could do to liven up your child's lunch.

Love the colors although my daughters were wondering where the pink and purple colors were so maybe Sunsella and other companies will come up with some that are more geared to colors children like hint, hint.

I like how there are different size compartments so you can have food that doesn't touch. I have a daughter who doesn't like her food to touch at all and this helps with in that department. My girls also like to help plan their meals.

Our children do eat lunch through the school most days but there are days that they have field trips, do not like the options or just want to take something a little extra special from time to time. I am not really good at making the lunches really cute, being a mom with Fibromyalgia that is just a bit much to ask, but just being able to separate the food and add color to the box amps up the love of what is provided enough for my girls to gobble their lunches down.

I use silicone cupcake liners to section off bigger spots for fair like snacks. Grapes, crackers, cheese, dip, etc. There are tons of ideas online, so making a lunch that is both fun and nutritional is only a search away.

Don't forget your lunch bag

Having a nice lunch from home is sometimes what kids need to feel a little extra loved. I know from time to time my girls like to take lunch from home, but most times they are happy with what is available at school, although from their point of view the food is getting worse so who knows in the next few years we might be sending homemade lunches more often if not everyday.

Even if your children eat lunch in school they made need a lunch bag for either a field trip, or even to carry their snack in. My 3rd graders class has two snacks a day so I want to make sure her drinks stay cool, so they are refreshing when she gets to have them.

These are simple bags available in several colors and if you have some fabric paint you can let your child decorate their very own. Instant unique lunch bag (don't forget to snap pictures).

Even though this says children's lunch bag it is roomy enough to be pulled off by an adult as well.

Big Size Insulated Lunch Bag / Cooler

This Big Size Insulated Lunch Bag / Cooler is perfect for a tailgating party, a day at the beach, or to tote frozen food home from the grocery store. My husband loved how big this was and knows it will fit our needs. We live quite a few miles from the nearest shopping area so in the summer it is always a chore to get all of the food home safely. Now we don't have to worry about that, of course with how we shop we need just a few more of these but for most families one would be more then enough for your frozen and refrigerated products.

Insulated Lunch Bag

This bag is perfect for a small day out with children or for a man who works long hours at work. It has a nice side expandable rope that can hold a half gallon of drink with no problems or if you are going on a picnic you could put the blanket in this spot. 

This would also be great to bring home three ice cream half gallons from the store during the summer. The main reason we don't buy ice cream far from home during the summer is that we live rural so by the time we get home we would have soup. It just makes it home from the nearest store ready to serve up as it is.

Hango Lunch Bag Set

We were very lucky to be able to check out the Hango Lunch Bag Set in Pink. I couldn't find it anymore in Pink but they do have it for sale in Black, you can find the link below. They are really pretty, durable, and the zippers really make them look expensive and more like a handbag then a lunch bag.  

When you receive your set of Lunch Bags they come in this great Drawstring Canvas bag which has a bunch uses alone. My Husband was impressed with this right away, except of course he would rather the black set shown below for himself. 

Soon as I opened these Lunch Bags I didn't think of putting lunch in them. I thought of a train case that you put your makeup and overnight essentials in. Yes they are that nice. I am very impressed with them and even though they are lunch bags in our home they have turned into makeup bags. Now I don't have to worry about my makeup melting in the heat during the summer. 

You can purchase on Amazon.
