If you’re a parent, then you know that kids lunch boxes have evolved significantly from the bulky contraptions of our youth. Modern bento-box-style containers offer separate compartments for various foods and even come with built-in utensils. As a parent, I meticulously prepare my kids’ lunches daily, but when it comes to my own meals, I often find myself snacking on leftovers from old takeout containers.
With a desire to prioritize self-care and self-respect, I decided to invest in a Bentgo Salad Container for myself. This adult lunch box, currently on sale for over 25% off for a set of two until July 15, rivals the ones that my kids use.
Bentgo Salad Container – Set of Two — $22.00
- Multiple compartments for toppings, dressing, greens, grains, and more
- Built-in fork for on-the-go use
- Dishwasher safe
- Rubberized seal and locking clips for no leaks
- A bit bulky for throwing in your bag on-the-go
Let’s start from the top. The lid consists of two pieces: a solid base with an attachable fork and a clear cover. Below, you’ll find a tray with four compartments for toppings, dressing, and a central space for dips. The bottom compartment is ideal for storing greens or grains. Simply add your ingredients, drizzle the dressing, close the lid, and shake for a restaurant-level meal packed in your adult lunch box.
Although I mostly work from home, having a designated adult lunch box in the fridge has transformed my lunch routine. I no longer wait until 3 p.m. to eat, as I now have a beautiful meal waiting for me. I’ve even discovered that the container is versatile enough to store various leftovers, not just salads.
