Bento boxes are great tools for helping to control portion sizes. The vegetable portion of the meal should always go in the largest portion of the bento container. We always strive to make half of our meal vegetables or fruit and working with a bento box makes this so easy to see and do. Bento boxes are also great for packed lunches for school or work.

This bento is an easy and balanced lunch you can prepare ahead of time. It is filled with fiber, healthy fats, protein and vitamins and minerals to fuel your day!
