Yay for bentos! Fun lunches should be for adults just as much as kids 😍 Are you headed back to work or school? Anyone still stuck at home? I hope you’re all safe and well!! ❤️

My university is closed so everything is online. I thought “oh it’s ok I will make lunch when it’s lunch time” ... turns out making food takes time and that is something I do not have between classes haha so these are perfect for that, I can prepare them in advance and leave them in the fridge! Thanks for sharing :D

I am back to work after maternity leave and was feeling overwhelmed with getting lunches packed for myself plus taking care of an infant and toddler. These are perfect. I have been spending 10-12 dollars on take out salads from restaurants and by the end of the week I am at 70 ish dollars on lunch for 1 person! Thank you for this- JUST what I needed- great ideas and inspiration to try better next week.

Appreciate how the salt and pepper were made everytime💕

i feel like this channel is so underrated. like the filming, the editing, ur personality - ALL AMAZING!!

Alyssia! Your videos are not only yummy, but your advice and personality is what keeps me coming back. Thanks always for great informative content! Stay safe! Take care 🙂

Wow, I have so many things to say! First, congrats on grad school! Second those churro bites look amazing - I love the vegan recipes and suggestions! Lastly, thank you for putting captions on all of your videos - it really makes it accessible and fun to watch. Keep up the amazing work!

Thank you for always including vegetarian recipes!

You've helped me have a better relationship with food. I don't like to cook, so it's easy to get into a rut. I stop putting any effort into planning or prep. The relationship becomes unrewarding. Those are the times I start to eat junk. Little things like a wavy cutter seem "extra", but honestly it feels great to open the container and see someone took time to make it special. Your videos keep me inspired to nourish myself & family. TYVM

Lol you said the "take what you want, leave what you don't" thing that love. 🤣🤣🤣 And I said to myself, "I'm taking it all!"

Thank you for your honesty about food anxiety! Easy to get swept up in the "health/fitness" community

I neeeed those churro bars now! They look so good. I'm so happy to see your shift to less rigid eating - I was honestly watching less of your content because of the heavy focus on "healthy foods." But I always loved your creative recipes and am so happy to see this personal transformation for you - losing the guilt around eating has improved my life so much and I hope it does for you, too!

I'm gonna try PB dip for today snack. Thanks for sharing : ).

You brought back the screenshot recipe option!!! Thank you! You're the best :)

I have always loved your BENTO lunch boxes meals, I made them for myself and now teen daughter when she was in grade school! So glad you are doing them again. Because teen daughter has been wanting those bento box lunches again!

Homemade lunchables are the best! Great ideas! Thanks. My kids would totally love these, as would I.

I just had the egg salad for lunch with lettuce wraps, so delicious!!!! Will be a lunch staple most definitely.

These look delicious, I cant wait to try the recipes! I'm not a big fish eater but I still want to try the tuna salad to see if I'll actually like it and start eating more fish

The recipes, the sub ideas, the editing - all immaculate!! I wish id come across your channel sooner!

I always forget how much I love tuna! I have a bunch in my pantry, I’ll have to try that tuna salad!

Great ideas!! Never thought of adding pecans to tuna salad. It's kinda like Waldorf salad. I'm going to try it! ❤️

Love these ideas!! Especially the churro bars 😍 can’t wait to try!

What an impressive bento box, Alyssia. What makes bento boxes really creative? Stay safe, sweetie.

Great ideas! Really needed some hefty and healthy snack ideas for starting my office work, my body burns through carbs like you wouldn't believe. Dunno how much people would like it but a high fiber snack videos would be really neat

I looove egg salad pitas

Thanks!!! I need lunch ideas!!

Love to try the churro bars looks yummy everything looks great

Thanks for the inspo, Alyssia! I've been looking for to-go lunch ideas for work! Also, just want to mention that your filming of the food prep was incredibly satisfying. 😊

The taco bites stole the show 😂😂 I’m such a big kid

These all look great! I'm helping with distance learning w my grandson, so I'll be packing some of these goodies!

Alyssia, I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm super excited to make them!!! We are going back to in-person work next week, so this video is perfectly timed!!!! Love your content!!!

I have a super easy dip recombination for you!! Equal parts mayo and sour cream (or mayo and greek yogurt) then shake in some Everything But The Bagel from Trader Joe's. It's awesome by itself but sometimes I switch it up and add some dill or black pepper. You got me started on EBTB so I think of you whenever I make it 😊 Awesome with veggies or fries if you're feeling sassy.

You’re such an amazing person & you deserve many blessings. ❤️

Will definitely try these ideas out!

I am seeing your video for the first time. I love that you made statements reference foods. I struggle with over eating and try to be mindful about the subject. Thank you for being so very open and I cannot wait to see more.

That part about food being easier to consume by just changing the appearance, that's 100% true for me. I sometimes don't feel like cooking so I keep some meal replacement bars around for these moments, but I struggle to finish a whole bar if I just bite down on the whole bar. What I tend to do is just chop it up in tiny cube and put it in a bowl. Doing that makes it feel more like a snack and easily have me finish the whole thing when I can just pop it piece by piece into my mouth.

I love the peanut butter dip. I have to let my grandchildren try it with gram crackers.

Hope grad school went well. These are great! Got here from Pinterest and you have a new subbie in me!😊

Ooooh, I’m definitely adding pecans to my tuna salad. I only eat Ritz crackers with my tuna mixes. It’s the buttery taste for me. 😋

Your bento box videos are one of my favorite ones ,besides the grocery hauls. Thank you for these videos and having good vegetarian ideas also in the videos .

I already bought your bento book and love it. In the video, these look even better as they are like adult Lunchables!! Very excited to try these out, thanks for being so innovative! These recipes are right up my ally :)

Girl! I did not know that you were doing the grad school trek too :) Welcome to the study club! I LOVE bento boxes for adults. Hope you won't mind if I throw your vid up on a recommended list? I hoard good informative reference videos like a squirrel hoarding nuts

I use my pastry blender to easily chop eggs it works great.

Your bento box videos are my favorite!! I always get SO excited when you release a new one!

Please make more adult bento boxes!! I really love the inspiration and these videos are great! ❤️ and you are very much inspiring. I have a fear with food too but which tends to happen in overcompensating or overeating. And the struggle is real so thankyou for your honesty!

Awesome video!!! I'm actually starting a masters degree too, so these tips are really useful for those long days on campus and away from student accommodation! (I'm in Zurich, so it's imperative I do food prep because eating out is EXPENSIVE here!)

PLEASE….do more lunch bento box ideas!!

You're like really extra and I like that. EDIT: So this was the first video I've seen from your channel and when I finished it I thought it was fantastic. You speak really well and seem to have a great relationship with food and presentation. Subbed.

Wow I just found ur channel as I was looking for lunch ideas for work. You are awesome and great recipes. New subscriber here

My fav bento box lunch thus far. I'm definitely trying this out.

The crinkle cut veggies look nice yes, but it really improves the mouth-feel too IMO!

I've never had pickle juice, being in the UK, but I make tuna salad with salad cream instead of mayonnaise, which I imagine has a similar end result. Thanks for making this actually edible, rather than smothering a few pieces of cardboard in hummus.

These are absolutely INCREDIBLE lunch boxes! Love the peanut butter dip and taco meat the most, but they all look so good and healthy too!

All hail the bento queen!

So many simple and customizable recepies. Thank you

I have watched you for years. You are nearly at a million subscribers! Yay! And grats on grad school!

I wish I could hit the like button 100 times! Thank you so much for sharing and giving good advice about food! 🙂😋❤️🙏🏻

These lunch ideas are great! I really like each of them! Your journey to healing regarding food is inspiring! I try to focus on protein and incorporating veggies and fruit, while limiting sugar as much as I can.

Those churro bars- oh man, you come up with the best recipes!

Thanks for the ideas!

These bento box ideas are amazing! As an adult at school myself (as a teacher), I always struggle for lunch ideas. So these will help out enormously. I’m not a fan of tuna, so I’m going to try the tuna salad with salmon instead.

This is such a great idea!! I gotta try that ranch dip! Looks delish! I need a go to ranch for sure

I must say,you are good at cooking. I was very impressed with your cooking. It looks appetizing👍

Congratulations on getting into grad school!!!! Best of luck to you!!

Thank u so much the bento boxes r my favorite videos along with slow cooker or instant pot meal ideas 😊

Great inspo!! Thank you!!

I always love bento box videos and this one is no different

Hi Alyssia, great bento box ideas, very creative.... Congrats on Grad school... Good Luck 😊

I LOVE you bento videos i think ive watched them all! Some more than twice

Love your channel!! These ideas are awesome as usual 😀. Enjoy graduate school!! Your energy is amazing and keep me waiting for your videos to post!

I remember your bento box new year seria which was absolutely amazing and I couldn't wait until a new video would come up every day. Bento boxes rule! 🌺😍

Love these adult bento lunch ideas!

All of these look so good. What is your advice on re heating a bento style box like this?

Ooh the chopping of the boiled egg is such a great idea lol, love it I have to do that for sure. I have an egg slicer, those things are great. Love these bento box ideas ❤️

Churro bars look super yummy. Will definitely make these.😋

I have to agree that the quality of the tuna in tuna salad really makes a difference. I'm lucky enough to live about 2 hours from the coast, so I have had tuna salad made with home canned fresh-caught fish, and it makes all the difference. It actually tastes like tuna!

WOW! The ying & yang salt & pepper was somethin

Is no one gonna talk about the yin and yang salt and pepper? That was so cool

I’m so excited to try those churro bars! I have a wheat allergy and was really excited to see you used oat flour! Yay!

The churro bars look great. Definitely trying them out

So excited!!! I always Love your bento boxes❤️

These are great ideas. Thanks a million. I love bento videos

Regarding people who have trouble with too much fish. I find that I can merge egg and tuna salad together, or even tuna and potato salad.

Another keto friendly lunch that goes along these lines is buffalo chicken celery. Mix shredded chicken, greek yogurt or mayo & buffalo sauce & eat it with celery sticks.Yummy.

YAYAYAYAY welcome to the grad school family!

omg they all look sooo good ! best bento boxes video 😍

Loves those snap shots!!

For any fellow aspiring vegans, some good replacements for the ingredients in these recipes are: -Lightly crushed chickpeas or soft cooked lentils for tuna -Soy or coconut yoghurt for greek -TVP or soy crumbles for beef/taco meat -silken or a softer tofu for eggs (add turmeric for colour and black Himalayan salt for an eggy taste) -A few options for the cheese cubes could be vegan cheese, olives, mixed nuts (or just salted cashews, since they'reby far the creamiest nut), or anycreamy/salty/savoury snack you might like That's all I can think of right now, but I just figured I'd post something about this since I know I used to struggle to come up with things to replace meats and animal products with when I first started.

All the best with grad school. So proud of you😀

Yum these look great! very tempted to try these for lunch tomorrow, thanks for the awesome video!

Great video, lots of fun lunch ideas.

I used a potato masher to do my eggs x

Congratulations on Grad school!!! And I LOVE your necklace!!

It is my last semester in Community College. Graduating this Winter. So YAY me I guess. How is your education going Alyssia? Hope you are getting good grades! Good Luck To All Us The Students

When I finish off pickles in a jar, I save the juice. It is great for salads like this, but it also great added to Pasta Salad. I’ll usually end up making Mayo hearty based Salads like that/this that store for a few days and that’s all we’ll eat. Sometimes I’ll freeze it in ice cubes then pop them and store them in a jar because they’re nice for cocktails & Bloody Mary mocktails

Wow all boxes sound so good 😍

Almost at 1 million! Woot!!

Can’t wait to try those churro bars! Always looking for gf baked goods. This video has so many great ideas.

1:55 may be it's just me but can someone tell me how she makes the salt n pep yin and yang??

Awesome. I’ve been wanting ideas for lunch that does not require a microwave. Good idea with the horseradish. I have some leftover from a recipe that I had NO idea what do with. Congratulations on graduate school! I enjoyed grad school. It was the only time in my student career that I got straight As.
