Hellobee

We typically pack a Bento like lunch (ham and cheese)!

What fun!

My daughter always has a bento for lunch!

I usually pack leftovers.. trying to make them healthier!

We usually have a “snack lunch” as the kids like to call it! Much like a bento…. just a few bites of a bunch of different things! Fruit, nuts, veggies, hummus, meats, cheese, yogurt, etc…

love these!

I actually don’t use a bento. We use the rubber maid containers because the ice packs snap onto them, and fit nicely into my son’s lunch pack. But I’m thinking of going the bento route for kindergarten, so he doesn’t have multiple containers to open.

We love doing Bentos – I find they make packing lunch or snack really easy. No more baggies! With K starting this year, this would be a great addition to our bento collection (of 1 bento box….) We do a protein, 2 veggies, a fruit and sometimes yogurt in her lunch.

We’ve been using yumbox and we love it cause of the wide variety I can pack in there

We usually pack snacks more than lunches, since our daycare provides lunch. My little on starts kinder next year and I’m already worried about lunch. I’m going to guess I pack super awesome, healthy, yummy snacks every day! hehehe, one can hope, right?

DS will be starting school this August and I look forward to packing him lunches of quesadillas, strawberries, yogurt and mini sandwiches!

We typically send a combination of lunch items that need to stay heated and items that need to be refrigerated or can stay at room temperature. Therefore, we generally need to use multiple containers. The OmieBox would really streamline things!

I love using bento boxes for myself and my husband, too…and love that this one has a thermos too!

I almost always do bento-style lunches for my LO if we’re out and about that day! For some reason we never have bread so I’m not much of a sandwich packer.

I love doing bento style lunches for DD.

I’ve had my eye on a couple different bento boxes, Kindergarten is coming up fast and I think this one would be great for packing lunches!

I love packing a sandwich and fruit in a bento box.

I’m thinking of a bento box for when my husband is at home with DS so he gets a real meal instead of snacks haha.

I usually pack yogurt and granola or peanut butter sandwiches since those are the trusted favorites, I like to mix it up, but my kids don’t!

Kimbop and fruit

I pack a bento box lunch (today’s example: blackberries, corn, plain yogurt with syrup, cream cheese/jelly sandwich cut up, and gold fish).

We pack our kids bento boxes (usually with leftovers and fresh fruit)

Haven’t started packing lunches regularly yet so when I do it’s usually cheese sticks and pouches- boring but her favorite.

Looks awesome!

I send ritz cracker sandwiches and fruit almost every day for my *extremely* picky eater!

I send her a lunch in a “Easy Lunchbox”. She gets half a sandwich, cheese stick, granola bar and fruit. Sometimes a bit of chicken. Also, often mashed potatoes.

Leftovers!

We often do homemade lunchables or some type of pasta!

Man, I pack whatever is in the fridge so it would be so useful to be able to pack liquids!

I almost always use an Asian-style bento thermos to pack hot lunches, so I would love an Omiebox. I was going to buy one in September, but they were backordered!

I have used so many ideas from Hellobee for my older daughter’s lunch, and now that the 8 month needs her lunch packed I’m combing through the archives. We do a combo of fruit, vegetable, starch or whole grain, and a protein or dairy, and sometimes a Horizon whole milk box. The baby gets a fruit and a veg, then something like a quinoa or Greek yogurt muffin or sweet potato.

I’ve been sending bento-style lunches in our YumBox. I’d love to try the OmieBox.

Simple ones! Veggie (cucumbers, carrots or bell peppers); fruit; bagel with cream cheese or sandwich/crackers with sunflower seed butter. Sometimes yogurt with blueberries!

I am always looking for new ways to keep lunch fun and interesting for my picky eater. Bentos have made packing lunches – and keeping foods separate – so much easier.

I pack turkey wraps, sunbutter and jelly sandwiches along with fruit and a small treat.

I always pack lots of fruit, veggies with hummus, rice cakes, etc!

So cute! Usually fruits and veggies, string cheese and crackers

I don’t have to pack lunches for school yet but this will definitely come in handy this fall when I do! In the meantime it will be great for visits to grandmas house with ham & cheese wraps, fruit, hummus and chips!

Rice balls, tomatoes, strawberries

I’m not too creative- an assortment of veggies, slices of cheese and either black beans or natural lunch meat. A bento box might spur some creativity!

A regular bento box!

Mac and cheese, apple slices and a pack of nori.

Leftovers, fruit and veggie pouches, cheese sticks, yogurt tubes, fresh fruit

I pack things that are convenient to throw in a bag or backpack – like a can of soup and piece of fruit. I have wanted to try doing my lunch bento box style for a while!

I cook in bulk and freeze so we’ve always got something healthy and tasty on hand- quiche, apricot chicken, korma chicken, meatballs full of vege, or satay for when we’re at home. I give her what we eat when I can but eating at 5pm just isn’t possible so she gets leftovers the next day too.

We pack leftovers right now for daycare but anticipate that changing with kindergarten next year!

At home we use divided plates and tend to have a sandwich, fruit and a vegetable.

I used to pack one for myself but when jack’s a little older I can’t wait to pack one for him too!

Wow, these boxes are really cool!

This looks awesome!

i paxk bentos, with pasta or grilled cheese or pizza as a main course and sliced fruits abd veggies

DS gets a sandwich and yogurt but DD likes to bring hot stuff in her thermos! I love the OmieBox since you can have hot and cold in the same container – how cool!

We do a lot of hummus and pretzels, or bagels. With other snacks too!

Daycare provides food for our kid now, but if the future I plan to send leftovers!

This is awesome! Perfect for my daughter’s school lunches.

leftovers

Usually leftovers or a sunbutter and banana sandwich – plus a fruit and a veggie.

My son is starting preshool in 2 weeks so this will be great for him! Now I will be able to pack both hot and cold food options for him.

I usually do some sort of vegetable, fruit, a yogurt or cheese and plantain chips or crackers.

I tend to pack the same two sandwiches (almond butter and jelly or turkey and cheese) over and over again but I feel like the omiebox would get me to be more creative!

leftovers!

I generally pack a hodge podge of stuff, but always include, fruit, veggies and chips.
