Hi guys! Make sure to watch until the end to see our bloopers - ha! 😂 If you'd like to see more bento box ideas in the future, make sure to give this video a thumbs up and leave a comment with what you'd like to see in the next video! xo - Lisa
didn't see anyone add a timestamp for each lunch so imma do it 1:59 greek salad lunch (with hard boiled eggs, hummus, and celery) 5:01 zucchini noodle caprese (with baked chicken and fruit) 7:47 tuna salad sandwich (with plantain chips, cucumbers and fruit salad) 10:58 smoked salmon pinwheels ( with watermelon/cucumber salad and macho pistachio balls)
you just have to wake up a few more hours earlier to get prepared for school then have time to pack your lunch. I recommend making the lunch before you go to sleep then put it in the fridge
I'm happy to see that Japanese "bento" box is introduced, as I'm a Japanese living in North America. With the bento box concept, the lunch can be more nutritious and fun to eat. Your video is so inspiring as always. Thank you!
Downshiftology Do you need to place them in the fridge if you prepare the boxes the night before (for those who don’t have time to arrange the food early in the morning)? How do these boxes work in keeping food warm or cold throughout the day if you’re gone long hours and don’t have a fridge or microwave around?
Lisa you have literally transformed my life, I have been eating solely your recipes since I found out I have Chronic regional pain syndrome, which I am desperately trying to overcome. My body feels so fresh and I actually smell like pineapples hehe ❤️ Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing and sharing your story too, your a light in my life. (Love the kids and your laughter) ❤️
🙋🏼♀️ I’ll take that kitchen and Lisa for all the prep 😋... and I promise to do ALL the cleanup 😆😉. Great video Lisa, Nicollette, & Nathan (pls forgive me if the spelling is incorrect) these are awesome meals & snacks.... thank you! 🤗
This was fun to watch! Please do more bento ideas. Being on the go, I’m always looking for more meals that can be enjoyed cold, no microwave needed. Plus, it looks like bento boxes can be great for those who can benefit from portion control! Thanks for another great video!
Great! Another video to share with my 16 years old son. Last week I shared one of your videos with him, and he cooked the boiled eggs, and prepared carrots and celery sticks for snacks. Today, we cooked together the sweet potatoes slices on oven and broiled eggs, and baked chicken. These has been an opportunity to do something together with my son, while we both learning to eat healthier. Great job! For your nice and nephew! 🙂 Thank You for sharing such amazingly delicious recipes!
I study after work. So I decided to meal prep and have breakfast and lunch at work. I bought a couple of bento boxes. I get home and I have nothing to but a little nap and study as many hours as I can, until night to prep them for next day. A real time and "focus" saver. Thank you for the recipes. I already was a little tired of mine and rice.
I don't understand why people dislike her videos, her videos are so amazing and they help people make healthy recipes for a diet btw where do you get your noodle maker thing? I wanna make zucchini noodles.
I love her videos in general, but this one was just not for me. The ingredients are not ones that I would use. I admire her tenacity and effort to grow her own herbs and make some of her own sauces, I just don't have the time!
@@shannontrent3702 I never understand why people give attention to the people who dislike a video. This has more than 1 million views and less than 800 downvotes. That percentage- and those people- are insignificant.
Lol 😆 Didn't even see the like or dislike as in look at them Just watched video and YUM 😋 And I read a few comments to get some variations with food ideas This has always been a great channel with great information ...healthy and delicious Guess it's not for everyone But yep i definitely enjoy this channel 😊 ☺️ ☺️ ☺️
Good nutrition is an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle. Combined with physical activity, your diet can help you to reach and maintain a healthy weight, reduce your risk of chronic diseases (like heart disease and cancer), and promote your overall health.👍
Bento boxes are actually my Ideal meal prep because I’m always on the go. When I’m going to work, I prefer to have something but room temp or cold and ready to eat like a veggie wrap or hard boiled egg with salmon and avocado. I like how the egg with celery looks
I love seeing your guests!!! I am a middle school teacher whose district is starting school 100 percent digital and I can't tell you how much I miss seeing the kids in person!
Oh wow, I would eat all of them. They look so fresh and good! ☺️ I’m glad I found you. 🤗 My first time visiting your channel after watching some videos about lunch boxing in America from TH-cam suggestions. I was in total disbelief about what grown-ups pack for their kids. 😱 Chips, chocolate bars, cake, donuts, popcorn, fried food, sugary drinks…all in one box for one „meal“ - every day. Nothing wrong with treats from time to time but that amount, especially for little bodies…🥴 I think your food would be liked by both kids and grown-ups. 😊
It is such a blessing to have your niece and nephew helping you create this video. I always love when my nieces join me in preparing meals for the holidays or any other occasion. Once again thank you for the great Bento Box ideas.
These quickly became my favorite. Had it for almost a year. I use the small bento set for work. 1 box for breakdast, a bread with butter/a cheese and berries. 2nd box for lunch. I pack usually salad in tight, use the slider for meat and pour it out in a larger bowl I keep at my desk. Thankfully the laptop backpack i have has an insulated compartment for food. A small icepack works perfectly.
I loved this so much. I'm a aunty with no children of my own, and I love hanging out with my nieces who are now 29 and 23. I'm deff going to try some of these great lunch ideas.
It's so great to see you encouraging your niece and nephew to learn how to make easy and delicious food from such a young age! This was such a heartwarming video your generosity and food creativity were such a treat to see thanks Lisa!
Watermelon, melons, and grapes go really well with that combo too! Recipe: Watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, grapes, fresh mint leaves, crumbled feta, olive oil, lemon juice, and a bit of salt!
Hello, thank you very much, you don't know how your recipes have helped me, from the simplest like peeling eggs to the most difficult, I can't get enough of your recipe for sliced bananas in the oven.
I ordered the cherry blossom design last week and received today. I meal prepped on Sunday and can’t wait to use my box for lunch tomorrow. Thank you, Lisa, for the great recipes...and for the discount code!!❤️
What I like the most in the video is making food together. Bento box means pure love that mom has for her child, so that love reflects on her childs nutritious meal, while the child enjoys even the feeling of waiting to open the bento at school. Making meals together reflects love and care, so I am sure that all of these recipes taste great. Big like and thanks for sharing and providing new ideas.
Thank you Lisa, 🙏🏻 today’s video was even better than the usual with those helping extra hands😉. I enjoyed it and specially the bloopers. I would very much appreciate seeing a keto meal prep if it is possible. Plus if u can give a keto bread recipe since I started the keto diet 3 weeks ago and I am hunting recipes on the net. ❤️
Awesome. I really do appreciate when I see videos like this because it inspires me to eat wealth. Especially, when I see the younger generation eat their vegetables. I’m borderline diabetic and was told by my doctor to eat this way. This video really is encouraging for me to appreciate food when you eat in moderation. Thank you! Thank you!
I think it is really nice that your niece and nephew helped you with the boxes and i love your nephews enthusiasm and love for the food how he takes his time and to me you guys are very nice people i liked the video and keep on doing these things with your family its so nice.
Thank you so much for posting this. I've been looking for new ideas for work lunches for me and my husband. So this video was just what I was looking for. I also love Bento boxes 🍱❤ their products are so great.
The traditional Japanese bento consists of staple rice topped with dried bonito flakes and nori seaweed, and as side dishes, vegetables cooked in a soy sauce base and pickled plums. Sometimes fried food is added. Today, however, many Japanese eat sandwiches or cup ramen for lunch. Lunch is only given to them for about 50 minutes. But when I think of bento, I think of my late mother.
That was great Lisa! And you niece and nephew are adorable. I didn’t realize they were so big! Time has flown by! Use them again, they are fun! Thanks for the great recipes 🤗
Dealing with major food aversion, orthorexia, and a histamine intolerance, which is all apparently just the story for me when pregnant. Trying to eat both cleanly and flexibly, but I can make a whole meal, sit down with it, and want to die rather than eat. Saving this for when my brain and body return to normal, and I can enjoy eating well and varied again. Looks so good.
I recently bought one of these bento boxes! This video is great and gives me some ideas on how to pack a nice healthy lunch! Would totally love to see another video like this in the future! :)
Excellent video! We are both in our 80's and are all about healthy aging. We continually strive for a strong body & a calm mind. Keep up the good work!
Hi! I need to say all these compartments are really amazing. I got into this idea just before I signed up for Teachers Programme. I went back to school to train in a rigorous program the past few years and I started to pack a lot more food like this. Well the spinach and all those greens really were spot on because of all the time spent sitting with a computer puts the eyes through a lot and all that lutein and amazing nutrition really helped me work and stay productive!
Thank you Lisa for this bento box serie, I am sure it will be another hit! Your choice of recipes is perfect for this summer and it’s pa eked with fresh fruits/ veggie I love each and every meal and will sure try them this weekend I also love the help from your niece/ newphew Stay safe!
I looooooooove this video for many obvious reasons: great helpers, beautiful Bento boxes, colorful, delicious and healthy recipes ideas. Thanks soooooo much!
Great lunch ideas, good wholesome food. Thank you Lisa, you transformed my relationship with clean eating. I loved your niece and nephew's input and hearty laughter at the end bloopers. 😁
For the first time I've seen this, it's just amazing along with you Nathan and Nick are great together, you're teaching them in a great way .. and the dishes are awesome .....
This is so great Lisa to see you cooking with your neplew and niece. You should do that more often. And the recipes look, and I'm sure ARE, very delicious with lots of varieties and colors.
I'm about 90% vegetarian so I eat salad often. My go to, before I retired, was romaine chopped salad or iceberg lettuce with bleu cheese dressing. The only items I added were cucumbers, carrots, a little green bell pepper and sprouts. Add black pepper and I was done. Just a simple salad but, from the reactions of some coworkers, it was exotic. This was because their lunches were fast food only. And I won't even tell you how my "peasant lunch" (hearty soup, cheese, fruit) blew their minds
70 g (about 3 cups) fresh basil leaves 40 g grated pecorino or parmesan cheese 40 ml extra virgin olive oil pinch salt 3 cloves garlic squeeze lemon juice optional Mix and enjoy ;)
Omg she has over 1 mill and she responds to her comments, most ppl after 1 mill don't react to the comments but she does! It's so amazing and her videos are so amazing, I wish I could make a channel like hers but I'm too young and I don't have much food 😂, and I love how she makes healthy recipes and I really need it because I wanna go on a diet, great job! Keep it up 💗!
Thanks so much for your kind words! And I always say you can do anything you set your mind to 😊 Hope you can give some of these recipes a try and let me know how you like them!
Nobody ever shows the bento boxes at lunchtime after they've been tossed around in yout kid's backpack all morning. I worry that the plantain chips will be soggy and full of tuna-mayo juice. I'd really like to see an open your bento box lunch video.
@@rachelselby5469 uh, are the hundreds of thousands of Japanese school children who've used bentos for lunches not enough for you or the hundreds of thousands of Japanese parents who make bentos? If your kid is not capable of treating their lunch pal with respect that's on that you and your child.
@@rachelselby5469 yeah because they don't go to school with their kids. Why would a food blogger do a bento opening like that? Look up the history of bentos and bento culture. There is a bbc report that literally goes over how making beautiful bentos is a part of how you are viewed as a parent. Moms will literally take classes so they can make beautiful bentos. Mari's Kawaii World also did a video on bento and the competitive bento culture in Japan. There is also the culture of Japanese children being extremely independent. They do not throw around their lunchboxes unless they want to get in trouble.
@@rachelselby5469 the children in the bbc video have beautiful open bentos. Idk why this is so hard for you to grasp? Bentos are tightly sealed so there is little room for the food to move.
Gonna try some of these tomorrow! You three made everything sooo aesthetically pleasing! I never thought of how important the visual aspect of food is!
Thank you so much!! I am from Hong Kong. Your lunch boxes' ideas are so practical and nutritious. These are exactly what I am looking for. I can't wait to start making them.
Ppl make there lunches look so neat.yet im here just being a weirdo snd just throwing stuff in bags and conatiners plus buying snacks at school since our highschool sells snacks..plus my portioning is so bad XD...
Love your salads and dressings. Going to try all of them. Got to see you smile so much more today. You have a beautiful smile. Making food with family always makes things taste better as well.
I love that you included your children! I am trying to lose the baby weight and I hope to get my daughter started with healthy meals and a healthy lifestyle. So I love these recipes.
I love the greek salad. I did substitute green olives, and always take out the onions(since I do not like onions), and sometimes omit the tomato. Regardless, I always make this recipe when I'm in need of a veggie, but feel lazy, or don't know what to make.
I made your Greek Salad for my daughters birthday last night. We all liked it and it is now on my “go to” list . Thanks for the simple healthy recipes, I love your channel!
Wow I never would have thought of combining blueberries and honeydew 🍈 with olive oil and mozzarella but it sounds good! I love meal prep videos like these because they show us Ingredients were already familiar with but give us variety
You got yourself a new fan! THANK YOU I was looking for inspiration to decide if I should buy a bento box, and I've got my answer. I'm off to my last year in college and I have lots of work to do, I will FOR SURE be making all these amazing recipes, thank you for making these videos.

What is tikini. Is my spelling correct
maricris venzon tahini. Sesame seed paste
@@maricrisvenzon4462 tahini is sesame seed paste. You can find one homemade recipe on Lisa's channel as well

Just imagine showing up to school everyday with these lunches that look fancy- instead of the greasy pizza-
you just have to wake up a few more hours earlier to get prepared for school then have time to pack your lunch. I recommend making the lunch before you go to sleep then put it in the fridge
@@giovanna1085 Seems like more of a $$$ thing than a time prep thing honestly.
@@ChappersLaNoCry cooking food is usually much cheaper than eating out
@@giovanna1085 That’s what my mom did when I was in elementary. I’d show up to school with my boujee, yummy lunches in my cute box and bag LOLLL

I'm about 90% vegetarian so I eat salad often. My go to, before I retired, was romaine chopped salad or iceberg lettuce with bleu cheese dressing. The only items I added were cucumbers, carrots, a little green bell pepper and sprouts. Add black pepper and I was done. Just a simple salad but, from the reactions of some coworkers, it was exotic. This was because their lunches were fast food only. And I won't even tell you how my "peasant lunch" (hearty soup, cheese, fruit) blew their minds
😂😂😂 loved the blooper fun at the end! Another great option for lunches. Thank-you Lisa
Haha thanks so much Deborah! 😊 Hope you enjoy these lunches.
Your recipes, more than anyone’s, are my favorite to make. I always want to make anything you post.
Do you have a pesto recipe for people with nut allergies? Also love that you included your niece and nephew, this was so fun to watch!
70 g (about 3 cups) fresh basil leaves
40 g grated pecorino or parmesan cheese
40 ml extra virgin olive oil
pinch salt
3 cloves garlic
squeeze lemon juice optional
Mix and enjoy ;)
@@letstalkkennel Thank you so much for this! This is awesome!
I used this Greek salad recipe but added chickpeas for a filling summer meal. Thank you for all of the great recipes.
Gosh these meal prep videos are the best!!! I know it's a lot of work but they're soooo good 🤩!!! Thank you Lisa and thank you to your helpers!!😊😍
Yay, glad you love them 😊
I am sooo glad i stumbled on this channel. This is just what i needed to revamp my eating style.
That's so fantastic ideas for lunchtime!! Here, in Peru, there is a similar chip, but we call its "chifles" and it is made with green bananas.
Loved these bento box recipes! Your niece and nephew did a fantastic job and it looks like they had a fun day with their aunt!
Thanks so much! 😊
Adorable helpers. Can’t wait to try these out! Thank you.
Omg she has over 1 mill and she responds to her comments, most ppl after 1 mill don't react to the comments but she does! It's so amazing and her videos are so amazing, I wish I could make a channel like hers but I'm too young and I don't have much food 😂, and I love how she makes healthy recipes and I really need it because I wanna go on a diet, great job! Keep it up 💗!
Thanks so much for your kind words! And I always say you can do anything you set your mind to 😊 Hope you can give some of these recipes a try and let me know how you like them!
Downshiftology np! You really deserve it!
"12 to 14 minutes" ... For hard boiled eggs? Are you intending they be used as some sort of projectile, because they'll certainly be hard enough
WOW. I’m shook. I love the easy/delicious/ingenious nature of all your bento box ideas!!!
I love these bento boxes! Your recipes are always on point, fresh, and healthy.
when should i prepare ? The day before the school or in the morning? Does that enough time to do so if I make lunch box in the morning?
Love all your videos. Thank you.
Nobody ever shows the bento boxes at lunchtime after they've been tossed around in yout kid's backpack all morning. I worry that the plantain chips will be soggy and full of tuna-mayo juice. I'd really like to see an open your bento box lunch video.
Then don't put them together until your child understands how to carry a lunchbox?
Then raise your child to be less chaotic?
@@rachelselby5469 uh, are the hundreds of thousands of Japanese school children who've used bentos for lunches not enough for you or the hundreds of thousands of Japanese parents who make bentos? If your kid is not capable of treating their lunch pal with respect that's on that you and your child.
@@rachelselby5469 yeah because they don't go to school with their kids. Why would a food blogger do a bento opening like that?
Look up the history of bentos and bento culture. There is a bbc report that literally goes over how making beautiful bentos is a part of how you are viewed as a parent. Moms will literally take classes so they can make beautiful bentos. Mari's Kawaii World also did a video on bento and the competitive bento culture in Japan. There is also the culture of Japanese children being extremely independent. They do not throw around their lunchboxes unless they want to get in trouble.
@@rachelselby5469 the children in the bbc video have beautiful open bentos. Idk why this is so hard for you to grasp? Bentos are tightly sealed so there is little room for the food to move.
I love all of these recipes & I also love that you include the kids in.
I am a mom on a mission. Thanks a lot 🌹
This was just too cute, and perfect recipes as always🥰🥰
Gonna try some of these tomorrow! You three made everything sooo aesthetically pleasing! I never thought of how important the visual aspect of food is!
I've never heard of melon &’ mozzarella I would love to try it out.
So refreshing and a fun way to incorporate melons into a salad type dish. 😊
@@Downshiftology in italy we make a lot of melon, mozzarella and prosciutto, also very interesting
Thank you so much!! I am from Hong Kong. Your lunch boxes' ideas are so practical and nutritious. These are exactly what I am looking for. I can't wait to start making them.

Where was this when I was a kid my mom just gave me a sandwich with a little bag of chips #thestrugleisreal 😖
Haha! And it was so good too! I pack my kids fancier lunches and sometimes they just want a sandwich and chips, like their friends. LOL.

Absolutely amazing! Love the inclusion of all types of melons in your salads!
I know I’m late to the party but I love seeing how you bond with your niece and nephew❤️ they have a great aunt!!!
Your family brings out your inner light☺️
I love the greek salad. I did substitute green olives, and always take out the onions(since I do not like onions), and sometimes omit the tomato. Regardless, I always make this recipe when I'm in need of a veggie, but feel lazy, or don't know what to make.
I made your Greek Salad for my daughters birthday last night. We all liked it and it is now on my “go to” list . Thanks for the simple healthy recipes, I love your channel!
Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed that recipe Colleen 😊
Ive started making the Greek salad (omitting the onions, and with some substitutions), as well as a soft boiled egg for lunch!
Wow I never would have thought of combining blueberries and honeydew 🍈 with olive oil and mozzarella but it sounds good! I love meal prep videos like these because they show us Ingredients were already familiar with but give us variety
You got yourself a new fan! THANK YOU I was looking for inspiration to decide if I should buy a bento box, and I've got my answer. I'm off to my last year in college and I have lots of work to do, I will FOR SURE be making all these amazing recipes, thank you for making these videos.
