What's in my bento box #02

It's time to share another bento box with you! I usually use left overs from dinner to fill my box, like this time. Every time I open my Bento Box at work it feels like a little party!

In the first box I had a my lunch: a small salad with grilled chicken shreds, tomato, carrot and roasted pine nuts, I also added some extra smoked salmon, because I could use some protein and we had some left after we ate a pasta with salmon.

In the second box I had my snacks. Parmesan edamame, 1 slice of banana bread (cut in two, so it fits the box), some cherries and strawbarries and 2 kelepon (sweet indonesian snacks).

What's in my Bento box #01

After my review of the MonBento lunch box I thought it would be fun to share what's in my Bento box. I took this with me to the office for lunch and for snacking.

In the bottom box I have my spinach and salmon salad and I added some Parmesan Edamame, sprouts and some pine nuts in a separate container, so they'll keep their crunchiness.

I keep my snacks in the top box. Some coconut pieces, a boiled egg, kelepon (indonesian sweet snack) and a bit of fruit. Cherries and strawberries.

It takes some prepping, but it's fun to open this at the office at lunchtime, it's like a little party in your lunch box!

Review: Monbento Lunch box + accessories

Years ago I started making Bento Boxes (Japanese lunch boxes) and I really liked it and I'm not really sure why I stopped doing it! Bento boxing perfectly fits in my healthy lifestyle, since it's perfect to prep my meals in. Last weekend this Monbento lunch box came in the mail and immediately prepped monday's lunch in there!

I got the original white and grey double lunch box!

Let me tell you more about this lunch box!
The first collection designed by monbento®, MB Original is the ideal format for lunch at the office, picnics and TV dinners.

Consisting in two airtight containers, a food cup for MB Original in color of top container or a divider and a wide elastic strap, foods stay in place and arrive intact.
Similar in design to its predecessor, the new version has many new features. Made in stronger high-quality plastic with a "soft-touch" finish, the new lunchbox combines sturdiness and style.

To vary your meals and open compartments more easily, the intermediary lid has also been improved and is now 100% airtight ! And because ease of use is an obsession for monbento®, the new MB Original is now fully microwave ready (thanks to a little silicone cap in the intermediary lids) and dishwasher safe.

CHARACTERISTICS :
Microwave-safe
Dishwasher-safe
Hermétique
Airtight

Food grade

COMPONENTS :
2 containers, 1 lid (material PBT)
2 intermediary lids (material PP)

They fit in the box perfectly!

A little extra: Silicon cups, you can add them as an extra container and in the big one you can bake stuff (like banana bread) that'll fit perfectly in you lunch box!

I got my Lunch box plus accessories from www.monbento.com, but for the Dutchies, they're also sold on Bol.com!
