Bento Box Recipes

Written by on in Breakfast, Lunch, Recipes

Here are great Breakfast & Lunch Recipes you can take to work. Just prepare these recipes at night and freeze them, so you can enjoy affordable healthy breakfast and lunch at work. Bringing home-made meals at work helps you achieve a consistently healthy lifestyle.

For the breakfast recipe, we have a simple but healthy fruit parfait. This is a great and healthy way to start your day. It’s very easy to prepare and you can chill it overnight and take it on the go next morning.

You can choose your favorite fruit for your ingredients. We like Raspberries and Blueberries combined with Greek Yogurt and Chia Seeds. This recipe has a balanced amount of sugar because we added Chia Seeds which is also a great source of antioxidants and fiber. Greek yogurt will give you the protein that you need for the day combined with the naturally sweet flavors of Blueberries and Raspberries.

For the Lunch Recipe, here’s a light, easy and nutritious bento box recipe. This recipe is totally doable in any skillet or frying pan. But what we love the most in this recipe is it can be a full meal and you can modify the ingredients to have a variety of meals for the entire week.

You can replace the sweet bell peppers with Brocolli, Carrot, Sweet Corn, or other vegetables you may like. Feel free to adjust and use whatever vegetables you have on hand. Take care to not overcook the vegetables. We choose Quinoa because it is considered as Superfood. This whole-grain healthy ingredient is a great help to boost your energy levels with iron and magnesium, and it’ll keep you full the entire day.
