One of our favorite things to eat on busy days is burrito bowls that we can throw together. Burrito bowls take little time to prepare and we can take a day to prepare them and then eat them throughout the week.

Bento box lunches work the same way. We prep them ahead of time and then keep them in the fridge until we can enjoy them. You can make these lunch box bento recipes beforehand and then reheat them when you are ready.
