Usually in these kinds of videos it's like, "You can reuse this ingredient... to make almost exactly what we made with it the first time!" I love how you made REALLY different things with the same ingredients
Malaika Joseph right?!?! I see these videos and I'm like that's a freaking snack ma'am or sir!!!! I like to eat and i would appreciate having some real food hahaha
how does hot for food not have millions of subs already?! it's videos like this that really make this channel amazing. thanks Lauren for all that you do!!
Completely agreed, but they probably will sooner than later. Veganism is just growing so fast and their videos are so good😁 Hopefully we can join them there one day, we put a lot of effort into our recipes too😊
I watched A LOT of bento box videos, but I just have to say this one is my favorite; because not only did you make it realistic to make, but I would actually eat all of them.
This is literally the ONLY bento box video (and I've watched waayy to many) that has balanced meals that are simple enough to recreate on a budget and tight time schedule, but complex enough to make the taste buds dance. THANK YOU!
I love how you used the same ingredients for multiple recipes. As a student on a budget with limited time for grocery shopping and cooking, this makes it easier to try new recipes
Your recipes are always so realistic, so achievable. It's refreshing to find these ideas when UA-cam in inundated with vegan recipes that take 62839538 hours to make and a bunch of ingredients you end up only using once. The fact that you re used your leftovers in each subsequent box is brilliant. Thank you so much for this!
I want you to know that I took a little break from this channel because I have been having terrible morning sickness and literally could not watch people making or eating food but I'm feeling a lot better today so here I am. I missed you. 🤗
Loren Hill I feel you. I'm sure your morning sickness is better by now but I have such a hard time watching people cook and eat mushrooms. I've always loved mushrooms too.
Usually I make a huge batch of soup that lasts all week but this looks so good!!! Not that much harder and tons of variety! I will be trying this soon thank-you so much!
Best ideas ever!!!!!! I koooove the fact that you are able to carry over the ingredients to other dishes. This is how people generally cook meals through the week honestly.... especially fresh veggies we try to use them up before the week.
I love that you made recipes that were able to share items. Such a time saver! I am not a huge fan of eating the same thing for many days in a row and love this idea.
Lauren, you're a genius! Thank you so much for linking ingredients to each lunch idea. Thinking of this when you're tired and have young children isn't always easy. I would love this same idea with kid-friendly lunch ideas. Thanks so much!!
Lauren could you make a kid-friendly supper ideas / week day meals video? I'm a mum to a 2 year old and my husband and I want to go vegan. It's hard enough to get her to eat anything substantial as is. Help!
Jordyn Rung Vegan dietitians and doctors have this information on vegan food guide for children! :) My son has been vegan since three and now he's eight. Best decision ever and we (including my hubby) never looked back! pcrm.org/health/diets/vegdiets/vegetarian-diets-for-children-right-from-the-start
Jordyn Rung UA-cam channel named Brown Vegan is a mom who went vegan and so she has some easy tips and meal ideas for families. So maybe look at her channel ua-cam.com/video/E3VafKtiGqM/v-deo.html
LITERALLY thought yesterday that i am bored with my food combos I have been making the past year and that I wanted to switch things up. I am SOOO HAPPY with this video, everything in here I love to eat!! thank you so muchhhh Lauren! 💗🔥🙏
Hot for food is such an underrated channel. All these other "bento box" and vegan recipe videos are basic af and they're the same recipes over and over, but you guys are so creative!
My favourite thing about these recipes is that they're not noticeably vegan. I honestly forgot they were vegan until you said vegan chocolate chips! Lots of vegan food videos make it feel like we are limited to certain foods or were trying to make fake omnivorous recipes. This video is awesome because all the recipes are delicious in their own right!
The amount of forethought that went into the theme of repurposing ingredients was so appreciated. It's such a genius "Recipe?!" sort of concept. That's how daily cooking is, in the real world, yet I imagine it takes a lot of time to plan out and execute in video form. Meanwhile, John, some of those camera shots and angles were just to die for. The clean aesthetic that you guys have gone with can be unforgiving if not done well, and HFF makes it look effortless. Thanks for making me more vegan. :)
This is why we ❤️ you. Once again Lauren, keeping it real. Affordable bento boxes AND repurposing leftovers. I've watched so many of these and thought "Todays the day I'm gonna cook just enough rice to perfectly fill one of those measly tins" and then 🍚🍚🍚🍚🍚🍚🍚 😝
So so so helpful!!! Thank you so much Lauren for all the healthy, vegan, protein and veggie packed meals! I'll definitely be trying some of these recipes.
Thank you so much for the video! This next part might be a little personal, but: I have anorexia, and watching healthy foods videos makes me want to recover and better my body instead of destroying it. I'm so grateful :)
I love it ❤️❤️❤️ Lauren, you gotta make more of bento box ideas! Anytime I watch hot for food I feel so inspired to cook and experiment. Thank you for existing, lots of hugs from Poland ☺️
This was a great video filled with good ideas for a prepped lunch! These are recipes I've actually never seen or would of thought about, so thank you Lauren for putting this together!
Can you hear me saying "L-O-V-E this". Especially that I don't have to reheat anything at work. Hey!!!!!! Thanks for caring to share (even if you thought it was a lot of prep work;) Lol!
this is absolutely amazing!!! these ideas are like cramming up my brain!!! first up i gotta get five of these containers...Fred Myer here i come!! omg the next six months of lunches are getting all lined up in my head...woo hoo!! I love that you can eat these cold or room temp and you don't have to carry heavy glass containers for heating...awesome AF
My gosh Lauren you are a genius!!! Such great ideas and with the leftovers and re-purposing them wow. Mindblown!!! I dont go to school but hey these will be great work lunches!
This is, by far, the best meal prep/lunch box ideas I have ever seen. I will do these for my even if I'm not at school to be honest. Looks to good not to be eaten by moi. Plus, I will totally prep these for my boyfriend who studied, since he likes to enjoy my "vegan preparations". Thanks for the ideas, it will help me a lot to show him, once again, that plant based is so good and so versatile. Thank you so much for sharing! =) This channel is the best, seriously.
This was great! I have watched lots of bento box idea videos and yours seem to be the most realistic with food I would actually want to eat. Also, wrapping your rice roll in rice paper? Genius!
Hot for food really motivates me to go vegan! It's been super hard for me cause I lack self control 😢 but I'm still trying! Love these recipes! 😁😁😁 I shall keep trying!
I absolutely loved this video! You really rocked it! Everything looked great and I loved the way you incorporated leftovers into the next meal. Please make more videos like this!!
Usually in these kinds of videos it's like, "You can reuse this ingredient... to make almost exactly what we made with it the first time!" I love how you made REALLY different things with the same ingredients
Vanessa Vanderzee agreed!!!
Finally, some one that packs enough food.
Malaika Joseph HAHAHA i laughed way too hard
Malaika Joseph right?!?! I see these videos and I'm like that's a freaking snack ma'am or sir!!!! I like to eat and i would appreciate having some real food hahaha
how does hot for food not have millions of subs already?! it's videos like this that really make this channel amazing. thanks Lauren for all that you do!!
by bun let's keep sharing them hopefully that helps💕
Completely agreed, but they probably will sooner than later. Veganism is just growing so fast and their videos are so good😁 Hopefully we can join them there one day, we put a lot of effort into our recipes too😊
I know, right ? Lauren (and John) are amazing
I ask my self the same thing every Wednesday.Tsk tsk
by bun I was totally thinking the same ! Like she shouldn't even have to remind everyone to sub & share on social media anymore they're amazing❤️
I watched A LOT of bento box videos, but I just have to say this one is my favorite; because not only did you make it realistic to make, but I would actually eat all of them.
This is literally the ONLY bento box video (and I've watched waayy to many) that has balanced meals that are simple enough to recreate on a budget and tight time schedule, but complex enough to make the taste buds dance. THANK YOU!
happy you likey :D
I love that you repurposed the leftovers. I always make too much and then have to do a fridge clean out later on. These are great Lauren! 💙💙
Those nori rice rolls are legit genius! Thank you for your amazing ideas!
Great video! Let's get those kids eating food to promote learning!
do kids not normally eat food?
Simnett Nutrition omgg i love your channel
Molly Plenty you'd be surprised as what's passed off as food these days. Especially the crap that's aimed at kids.
Simnett Nutrition "those kids" lmao.. HELLO YOUNGINS
Yes!
Wow that sweet potato risotto is genius! Sooo much faster than spending an hour over the stove.
I love how you used the same ingredients for multiple recipes. As a student on a budget with limited time for grocery shopping and cooking, this makes it easier to try new recipes
Your recipes are always so realistic, so achievable. It's refreshing to find these ideas when UA-cam in inundated with vegan recipes that take 62839538 hours to make and a bunch of ingredients you end up only using once. The fact that you re used your leftovers in each subsequent box is brilliant. Thank you so much for this!
I get so much food inspo from your channel! Love it!
Looks soooo good. I've been taking fast food for lunch every day and I need something fresh finally
So you basically made 5 healthy, affordable, zero waste AND very delicious meals? Good job!
I want you to know that I took a little break from this channel because I have been having terrible morning sickness and literally could not watch people making or eating food but I'm feeling a lot better today so here I am. I missed you. 🤗
Loren Hill I feel you. I'm sure your morning sickness is better by now but I have such a hard time watching people cook and eat mushrooms. I've always loved mushrooms too.
I have never seen a better "bento box" video... seriously creative. Usually these videos are so boring but you are AMAZING
Usually I make a huge batch of soup that lasts all week but this looks so good!!! Not that much harder and tons of variety! I will be trying this soon thank-you so much!
Best ideas ever!!!!!! I koooove the fact that you are able to carry over the ingredients to other dishes. This is how people generally cook meals through the week honestly.... especially fresh veggies we try to use them up before the week.
If only I was your child.. all the kids would surround me at lunch
I love that you made recipes that were able to share items. Such a time saver! I am not a huge fan of eating the same thing for many days in a row and love this idea.
I really like the way you use one pre prepped food for multiple different meals.
Lauren, you're a genius! Thank you so much for linking ingredients to each lunch idea. Thinking of this when you're tired and have young children isn't always easy. I would love this same idea with kid-friendly lunch ideas. Thanks so much!!
I love how all the ingredients were used in each box! It definitely helps when you're on a budget. Thanks for another great video!
These are ALL so creative! Unlike any other back to school ideas I've seen before. Thanks for all your hard work to make this for us!
Lauren could you make a kid-friendly supper ideas / week day meals video? I'm a mum to a 2 year old and my husband and I want to go vegan. It's hard enough to get her to eat anything substantial as is. Help!

Wooow, I am so impressed! These ideas are brilliant, good job Lauren!
the re-purpose aspect of this should be mandatory for all bento inspo vids. thank you!!!!
Hot for food is such an underrated channel. All these other "bento box" and vegan recipe videos are basic af and they're the same recipes over and over, but you guys are so creative!
These are great!! lots of different combinations so you're never going to be bored. Bento box number 2 is my winner.
This is probably my favourite bento box video ever. I love all the ideas.
You really inspire to waste nothing in my frig and to come with cooking ideas. Which I don’t like cooking btw but loving it now. Thanks
I love the whole repurposing thing. It's so efficient.
Favorite bento idea video ever! I love the variety and having leftovers to create the additional bentos. Great job as usual, Lauren.💗
My favourite thing about these recipes is that they're not noticeably vegan. I honestly forgot they were vegan until you said vegan chocolate chips! Lots of vegan food videos make it feel like we are limited to certain foods or were trying to make fake omnivorous recipes. This video is awesome because all the recipes are delicious in their own right!
I'm not a vegan but when I'm overstocked on veggies, your channel is the greatest cookbook
thank you :D
I love how you utilized the leftovers! Great idea and unique.
This is so amazing bc they actually look like filling lunches
Aahhh I loved how u repurposed the extra items to another bento box. It's very helpful!
This is genius! I love how you repurpose ingredients! Genius!
The amount of forethought that went into the theme of repurposing ingredients was so appreciated. It's such a genius "Recipe?!" sort of concept.

These are awesome ideas! Love that you repurposed the leftovers, I always struggle with that.
So so so helpful!!! Thank you so much Lauren for all the healthy, vegan, protein and veggie packed meals! I'll definitely be trying some of these recipes.
LOVE THESE SO MUCH! I can never figure out how to repurpose food leftover from a recipe, this is so many ideas I love it!! Thank you!!!!
I can't even pick a favorite. They are all just too amazing
Thank you so much for the video! This next part might be a little personal, but:
I have anorexia, and watching healthy foods videos makes me want to recover and better my body instead of destroying it. I'm so grateful :)
