Saturday Morning Roundup – Bento Lunch Ideas

What is a Bento Lunch?? -you may be asking yourself

A Bento Lunch is one that is compact, balanced, and usually visually appealing. To me, it’s a fun way to get your kids more excited about taking lunch to school.

Skip the brown bag, and opt for a more eco-friendly lunch tote. I am also extremely excited to ditch the plastic baggies!

Hello money saver!

I just bought my kids their own package of Easy Lunch Boxes 3-compartment Bento Lunch Box totes off Amazon.

I also purchased the same brand (Easy Lunch Boxes) Insulated Lunch Box Cooler Bag that fits the totes. They come in a variety of colors.

Ok, so now that you have the gear… you might be looking for some inspiration??

Well you’re in luck!  For this Saturday Morning Roundup I have searched for some sweet Bento Lunch ideas all over the web, and there are SEVERAL. Here are some of my favorites…

**I highly, highly encourage you to click through to these wonderful blogs, or photo galleries I have listed here. Some of them are blogs that are strictly dedicated to Bento Lunches! So many great ideas out of these talented peeps.**

Either way, I get to save some money, and call it eco-friendly all at the same time.

Win-Win!
