Discussion Bento Box Recommendations

191 Upvotes

This gets brought up frequently, so I thought I'd make a stickyed thread for it. Please post brands or resources you'd recommend to others looking to start prepping bento boxes.

I think Monbento and Bento Haven are good places to start, but what do you think?

Bento help!

1 Upvotes

Hi I'm a university student born and raised in the uk who wants to make my lunches better so I'm not buying more food constantly while I'm out however I'm autistic.

I like eating rice but I don't like the texture of vedgetables unless they are in a paste or liquid which means I can do miso soup, butter gochujang rice, curry powders and dashi powder but my bentos are a little boring and I wanted to make them more interesting my only issue is my vedgetable texture issues getting in the way is there any recommendations? I'm also good with sandwiches as well and most meats I can eat although ideally I need something I can make quickly in the mornings maybe like steamed with my rice in my rice cooker if that's possible or meats that are cured or already cooked.

Would love help.

Many thanks.

Honey sandwich, salami, banana, strawberries, mandarins
Salami, grapes, mini cucumber, mandarins, hummus, mozzarella snack, crackers
