What fruits and vegetables go in a bento box?

When creating a bento box, there are endless possibilities for what fruits and vegetables to include. From crunchy carrots to sweet strawberries, the options are vast, and the choices ultimately come down to personal preference.

To ensure a well-rounded meal, including a mix of colors, textures, and flavors is essential. For example, some ideal options for a bento box include grapes, cherry tomatoes, snap peas, sliced cucumber, and mandarin oranges.

Can you prepare bento the night before?

Yes, you can prepare a bento the night before! Preparing your bento boxes the night before can save you time and stress in the morning.

Being able to assemble and pack your lunch the night before means you don’t have to rush to make something in the morning or spend time deciding what to pack.

Some ingredients taste better after sitting in the fridge overnight, allowing the flavors to meld together. Just be sure to properly store your bento in an airtight container in the fridge to keep it fresh.

With some preparation, you can enjoy a delicious and nutritious bento for lunch the next day without any extra hassle.
