If a good video makes it easier for you to recreate tasty recipes for your lunchbox, you are in for a treat this week. We've poured through tons of YouTube videos to find five delicious gems that are worth your time and attention. Each video is less than six minutes long, and we promise, you will want to watch them all to help mix up lunch for your entire family this week.

We're super excited to share a delicious, plant-based recipe this week from one of our new partners–Healthy Grocery Girl. This easy & healthy lunch salad is packed with whole-grains, probiotics, protein and good-for-you greens! Check out the video to see how to prep and pack this recipe in your Bentgo Salad lunch box.

Let’s face it, most children are finicky eaters. So, when they find something they love to eat, it is easy to see why parents often surrender. But with so much processed, unhealthy food on the market, parents have to be more vigilant than ever about monitoring what goes inside their children’s bodies.

That’s where this list comes in. We know we might step on a few toes with this one, but we wouldn’t be doing our jobs if we didn’t shine a light on some of the nutrition-less foods that have become a staple in the American child’s diet.

We’ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but in the morning scramble to get out the door and on our way, eating a healthy and delicious breakfast can often become an afterthought. This week's recipe, taken from Bentgo Salad's free ebook Fun & Healthy Salad Guide, looks to change that by giving you a nutritious on-the-go option for making breakfast a priority. 

Instagram is full of quick and delicious meal ideas to keep your Bentgo lunchbox both healthy and interesting. But, we understand wading through all that content can be an enormous time drain, so we’ve done the hard part and rounded up five great ideas for you to try this week.

It’s not often we find a delicious salad recipe that is chock-full of wholesome grains.  But thanks to health foodie Lillian Tse of Beyond Umami, this week we are proud to feature a Cranberry Spinach Buckwheat Salad that packs all the essential nutrients you need into every tasty forkful.

Few salads do as good of a job at being both healthy and decadent as an authentic Greek Salad. With antioxidant-rich olive oil, iron-packed Kalamata olives, and the distinctive taste of feta cheese, Greek salad never disappoints—especially when you have an excellent recipe like the one we snagged from The Workout Girl.

Have you gotten into a sandwich rut when packing your lunchbox?  How about shaking things up by packing an onigirazu instead!  Onigirazu (pronounced “oh-knee-ghee-rah-zoo”) is kind of like a rice sandwich, and they’re currently all the rage in Japan.  Layers of filling sandwiched between layers of rice all wrapped in a sheet of nori (the same type of Japanese seaweed used to roll sushi rolls in).  You can add just about whatever fillings you want, which makes them super flexible while giving you an easy alternative to your usual sandwich.

If you are looking for a tasty way to incorporate a vegan-friendly recipe into your Bentgo Salad lunchbox this week, health coach Shannon Sullivan has a fresh, protein-packed Citrus Chickpea Quinoa Salad you should try. She shares all the details for prepping and packing this delicious lunch to carry with you on-the-go in her latest “What I Eat in a Day” vlog.  Check out the video and recipe below.
