Because I love to meal prep, I also chose salads, snacks, and other recipes that are durable and can be meal prepped, saving you time in the kitchen throughout the week. It makes for fast bento box assembly!

I love these lunch ideas. I am retired and live alone and often when meal time rolls around I have no tasty plan and end up at the drive through or skipping it altogether. Thanks for these great ideas to have on hand in the fridge.

Wonderful! Would love a few more ideas like this, maybe some dairy free as we have limited to only grass fed organic dairy and only 1-2 servings a day. These all look amazing, and I’ll try some of the ones I’ve never done before.

Big fan of this video, but unless you’re working alone, you shouldn’t bring garlic to work.

I'm happy to partner with Monbento on today's video. Thank you for supporting the brands who support Downshiftology!
I like the meals, but I wish there would be warm meals options, not just salads. I don't like eating just cold meals. Regarding bento box, it looks pretty nice, but I would not use plastic to package my meals. Why don't make bento box with glass containers inside? Also some nice handle for bento box would be much better then just elastic.

@air2earAwesomeee❤
@shwetadornal2593I'm about 90% vegetarian so I eat salad often. My go to, before I retired, was romaine chopped salad or iceberg lettuce with bleu cheese dressing. The only items I added were cucumbers, carrots, a little green bell pepper and sprouts. Add black pepper and I was done. Just a simple salad but, from the reactions of some coworkers, it was exotic. This was because their lunches were fast food only. And I won't even tell you how my "peasant lunch" (hearty soup, cheese, fruit) blew their minds
@cynthiaoconnor7185great content
