    Usually in these kinds of videos it's like, "You can reuse this ingredient... to make almost exactly what we made with it the first time!" I love how you made REALLY different things with the same ingredients

    This is literally the ONLY bento box video (and I've watched waayy to many) that has balanced meals that are simple enough to recreate on a budget and tight time schedule, but complex enough to make the taste buds dance. THANK YOU!

    @MrNioMoon 7 ปีที่แล้ว +171

    I watched A LOT of bento box videos, but I just have to say this one is my favorite; because not only did you make it realistic to make, but I would actually eat all of them.

    how does hot for food not have millions of subs already?! it's videos like this that really make this channel amazing. thanks Lauren for all that you do!!

      by bun let's keep sharing them hopefully that helps💕

    • @TheTastyVegan
      @TheTastyVegan 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Completely agreed, but they probably will sooner than later. Veganism is just growing so fast and their videos are so good😁 Hopefully we can join them there one day, we put a lot of effort into our recipes too😊

    @sarahseguin4199 7 ปีที่แล้ว +190

    I love that you repurposed the leftovers. I always make too much and then have to do a fridge clean out later on. These are great Lauren! 💙💙

    Those nori rice rolls are legit genius! Thank you for your amazing ideas!

      @kaitlin5304 7 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Molly Plenty you'd be surprised as what's passed off as food these days. Especially the crap that's aimed at kids.

    I have never seen a better "bento box" video... seriously creative. Usually these videos are so boring but you are AMAZING

  • @NinaSowah
    @NinaSowah 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love how you used the same ingredients for multiple recipes. As a student on a budget with limited time for grocery shopping and cooking, this makes it easier to try new recipes

  • @Katy-xl6ep
    @Katy-xl6ep 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    the re-purpose aspect of this should be mandatory for all bento inspo vids. thank you!!!!

  • @user-kh9ki3kq8m

    Looks soooo good. I've been taking fast food for lunch every day and I need something fresh finally

  • @treeboftw1
    @treeboftw1 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your recipes are always so realistic, so achievable. It's refreshing to find these ideas when TH-cam in inundated with vegan recipes that take 62839538 hours to make and a bunch of ingredients you end up only using once. The fact that you re used your leftovers in each subsequent box is brilliant. Thank you so much for this!

  • @SilverLOve3
    @SilverLOve3 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I want you to know that I took a little break from this channel because I have been having terrible morning sickness and literally could not watch people making or eating food but I'm feeling a lot better today so here I am. I missed you. 🤗

    • @jehold2010ify
      @jehold2010ify 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Loren Hill I feel you. I'm sure your morning sickness is better by now but I have such a hard time watching people cook and eat mushrooms. I've always loved mushrooms too.

  • @adrianlamb5356
    @adrianlamb5356 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm not a vegan but when I'm overstocked on veggies, your channel is the greatest cookbook

  • @knittysixx5106
    @knittysixx5106 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really like the way you use one pre prepped food for multiple different meals.

  • @immaskinnywhitebitch
    @immaskinnywhitebitch 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    My favourite thing about these recipes is that they're not noticeably vegan. I honestly forgot they were vegan until you said vegan chocolate chips! Lots of vegan food videos make it feel like we are limited to certain foods or were trying to make fake omnivorous recipes. This video is awesome because all the recipes are delicious in their own right!

  • @applefalltree
    @applefalltree 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is why we ❤️ you. Once again Lauren, keeping it real. Affordable bento boxes AND repurposing leftovers. I've watched so many of these and thought "Todays the day I'm gonna cook just enough rice to perfectly fill one of those measly tins" and then 🍚🍚🍚🍚🍚🍚🍚 😝

  • @LaaLaaLandoOoAlways
    @LaaLaaLandoOoAlways 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Usually I make a huge batch of soup that lasts all week but this looks so good!!! Not that much harder and tons of variety! I will be trying this soon thank-you so much!

  • @bethsummerfield9855
    @bethsummerfield9855 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    These are ALL so creative! Unlike any other back to school ideas I've seen before. Thanks for all your hard work to make this for us!

  • @JackyTheGreat123
    @JackyTheGreat123 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hot for food is such an underrated channel. All these other "bento box" and vegan recipe videos are basic af and they're the same recipes over and over, but you guys are so creative!

  • @arantxadelgado6708

    LITERALLY thought yesterday that i am bored with my food combos I have been making the past year and that I wanted to switch things up. I am SOOO HAPPY with this video, everything in here I love to eat!! thank you so muchhhh Lauren! 💗🔥🙏

  • @graderav1543
    @graderav1543 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much for the video! This next part might be a little personal, but:
    I have anorexia, and watching healthy foods videos makes me want to recover and better my body instead of destroying it. I'm so grateful :)

  • @lunarsugar
    @lunarsugar 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    The amount of forethought that went into the theme of repurposing ingredients was so appreciated. It's such a genius "Recipe?!" sort of concept. That's how daily cooking is, in the real world, yet I imagine it takes a lot of time to plan out and execute in video form. Meanwhile, John, some of those camera shots and angles were just to die for. The clean aesthetic that you guys have gone with can be unforgiving if not done well, and HFF makes it look effortless. Thanks for making me more vegan. :)

  • @way108
    @way108 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Best ideas ever!!!!!! I koooove the fact that you are able to carry over the ingredients to other dishes. This is how people generally cook meals through the week honestly.... especially fresh veggies we try to use them up before the week.

  • @HealthistaTV
    @HealthistaTV 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    These are great!! lots of different combinations so you're never going to be bored. Bento box number 2 is my winner.

    @heatherharris6775 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lauren, you're a genius! Thank you so much for linking ingredients to each lunch idea. Thinking of this when you're tired and have young children isn't always easy. I would love this same idea with kid-friendly lunch ideas. Thanks so much!!

  • @deannanguyen6065

    This is, by far, the best meal prep/lunch box ideas I have ever seen. I will do these for my even if I'm not at school to be honest. Looks to good not to be eaten by moi. Plus, I will totally prep these for my boyfriend who studied, since he likes to enjoy my "vegan preparations". Thanks for the ideas, it will help me a lot to show him, once again, that plant based is so good and so versatile. Thank you so much for sharing! =) This channel is the best, seriously.
