Just wanted to let you know that watching these videos with my kids has convinced them to try loads of new foods (because mom's opinion on what's delicious just can't be trusted. *eye roll*) and they love the stuff we've tried.

Thanks!

[miekzand]

What a timing! Just sat down to make my week plan and I always use your ideas haha. They impress my coworkers every time. Also got a bento box last Friday, so super excited to actually make m in the box. Thank you so much for the top notch content

[sunnyfilms_]

I guess this is a signe for me to stop having cup noodles everyday and rather have a balanced lunch 😅😂

[ABisdoingjustfine]

I adore your bento-box videos! They're what got me hooked onto your channel, and I love the different ideas you come up with. I used to have an ED, and not eating at school/work was the easiest thing to do. Your bento boxes make work lunches sexy, and make it more exciting -- something to look forward to everyday. :) A lot of your wraps (from your previous videos) have become a staple in my lunch box. :)

[jpeachyu]

I always like how you make doing it yourself look not so hard. You have so much more control over ingredients when you do.

[jabberwalky]

What a great video. I love how you plan out your meals to maximise variety but also cut down on food waste. Each recipe sounded tasty and I am going to try them out next week. Thank you!

[gustavogomez]

[さかぐちようこ]

[AsmitaAgnihotri]

Always looking and waiting for your videos ❤❤❤

[racketmuseum]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, you have truly inspired me.

[londonrice]

Omg and these are super kid/school friendly with few mods 😭 thank you so much for posting this!! 🖤

[fiqra]

Your videos are so relaxing Jess. Always look forward to them! I love how simple the recipes are and how you make different meals out of 2 main options. Absolutely genius! ❤️

[alaska.docafi]

Me encantan estos videos de ideas de bento box veganas....podrias hacer mas ideas como estas??porfavor, me vienen muy bien para llevar al trabajo.gracias!me encanta tu canal

[mariannescheesepulls]

These look super delicious, the only downside is that if you put 2 different foods in the same compartment, it will affect the texture. For example, it’s 109% sure that on Tuesday, those chips got soft after being stored with bread (bagel)

[harinihari]

"Falafel are only option for vegans to eat outside " girl u must ur Indian vegetarian food 😋

[melissadjz]

It looks very tasty but unfortunately, cucumber tomates eggplants are not very seasonal ! i will wait spring for trying :)

[chantellesimons]

Thank you! This is great because I'm not allowed to take anything with nuts in at work, so I really struggle to find any recipes that don't need, or I could substitute in/I can just leave out the snack bar! I hope to see more of your videos with ideas not using nut based products, I can eat them at home, but I love finding your work lunch ideas!
