Whether you\u2019re assembling a mishmash of leftovers, making a sandwich, or cooking something entirely different, packing a healthy lunch<\/a> every day can be a challenge. There are plenty of delicious make-ahead meals<\/a>, and having a meal plan will definitely help, but so will a good lunch container. We love using a bento box to pack lunch because it keeps foods from getting soggy, and it can also help you plan and pack a balanced, portion-controlled meal. There are so many styles and variations of this handy container out there, even just within the editor-favorite Bentgo line<\/a>. You can take your pick among microwavable models, salad<\/a> containers, and lunch dividers designed especially for kids. Sure, you could always use a classic Tupperware box, but many bento boxes are more compact and easier to work with if you\u2019re packing together different types of foods. Case in point: Our eight favorite options, which are listed below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
