How far in advance can you make a bento lunch?
Since you’re using the leftovers that you have, you’ll be able to make it after that. I also think that you can meal prep a day out or so to put you ahead of the game.
You can always do certain steps for this breakfast leftovers bento lunch ahead of time to save time later down the road. Chopping and washing the fresh fruit and having it ready to add to the bento box is a great idea as well.
Important Tips for this Breakfast Leftovers Bento Lunch Idea:
A big thing to remember if you’re adding fresh fruit to any bento box is that you need to be sure to have it separated from other parts and areas of food. You don’t want the fresh fruit juice soaking into your other food items or it could cause a big soggy mess.
Dried fruit is also a great food item to add to bento boxes as well! Don’t forget the nuts!
