13. Salad
In case your youngster is a salad lover, the bento field makes packing a salad tremendous straightforward! Within the image, I added lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber slices, carrots, and a few leftover shredded rooster (I like to cook a whole chicken or grill chicken thighs and maintain the meat within the fridge for lunch). In a dipper container, I added homemade ranch dip (homemade vinaigrette is one other nice possibility!).
- Fundamental: Combined salad with lettuce, carrots, cucumber, grape tomatoes, shredded grilled chicken thighs (leftover from dinner) with cheddar cheese, cubed bread, and salami skewers
- Fruit: Grapes
- Veggie: Salad
- Crunch: Stonyfield YoKids Natural Strawberry Yogurt
14. Rooster and Rice
Instant Pot chicken and yellow rice or Instant Pot Chicken Fried Rice are two of our favourite weeknight dinners. And the very best half is that they make numerous leftovers for varsity lunch.
For those who’re utilizing the Omielife bento field, with the built-in thermos, add the rooster and rice to the thermos within the morning (after reheating). For those who’re utilizing a unique bento field, add the rooster and rice to a separate thermos, then fill the bento field with a fruit, veggie, and crunch.
15. Selfmade Rooster Nuggets/Tenders
Are you noticing a pattern right here? Leftovers are your greatest pal in the case of packing a simple and wholesome lunch!
Make homemade chicken tenders for dinner, double the recipe, and stash the extras away within the fridge for a simple lunch. Serve the rooster tenders with homemade ranch dip (or ketchup), add the meat to a tortilla for a wrap, or high on a salad. Serve the rooster tenders at room temperature with an ice pack for security.
Fundamental: Homemade chicken tenders with homemade ranch dip
Fruit: Clementine slices
Veggie: Sugar snap peas
Crunch: Einkorn banana muffins (made in a mini muffin pan)
