Bento Boxes 


Bento boxes are common in Japanese cuisine. Traditional bento consists of rice, fish, or meat.  They encourage healthy eating and can be waste free lunch. No more plastic bags or throw away containers. My picky eaters enjoy eating out of bento boxes because they can see all their food out in front of them & it separates how they want it. You can have different themes in your meals each time you use bento boxes from fruit, snacks or taste of Asia. Find a company or store that makes bentos for kids that have plenty of spaces, dishwasher safe & can lock/close for transport. Let your child request what to fill in their bento or help create healthy meals with you. If you don't have a bento box yet you can also try small muffin pans for bento like fun!
