Bento love

After Christmas, one of my favorite places I went for post-holiday deals included The Container Store. Shocker- I know. Anywho, while I was there I picked up what might be one of my favorite new items for work day lunches. The Box Appetite.

Squash, lemon-pepper tilapia, spinach, string cheese & a mixed fruit, sesame ball.

Microwave and dishwasher safe, this little contraption cuts down on the many sizes of awkward containers I usually have to stuff into my purse. Plus, it's great for making sure you have the right portion balance. The bento-style box includes a fork/knife, sauce pot (which I sometimes use to stash a sweet treat) and separate container if you need to heat something up by itself. Another great fact- they're BPA-free so no need to worry about the materials making you sick!

All together.

I have two so that I can make lunches two days in advance. I would recommend these bad boys to anyone! Here are a few more styles and some advice for how to make a healthy yet delicious bento combo for your reading enjoyment.
