    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

      by bun let's keep sharing them hopefully that helps💕

      @TheTastyVegan 7 років тому +6

      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😊

      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❤️

    @MrNioMoon 7 років тому +171

    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.

  • @kelseysmith7132
    @kelseysmith7132 7 років тому +65

    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!

  • @sarahseguin4199
    @sarahseguin4199 7 років тому +190

    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! 💙💙

      @kaitlin5304 7 років тому +13

      Molly Plenty you'd be surprised as what's passed off as food these days. Especially the crap that's aimed at kids.

    Wow that sweet potato risotto is genius! Sooo much faster than spending an hour over the stove.

  • @NinaSowah
    @NinaSowah 7 років тому

    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

  • @treeboftw1
    @treeboftw1 7 років тому

    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!

  • @christie9224

    Looks soooo good. I've been taking fast food for lunch every day and I need something fresh finally

  • @beebeeisland

    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. 🤗

    • @jehold2010ify
      @jehold2010ify 7 років тому +1

      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.

  • @17taylerjean

    I have never seen a better "bento box" video... seriously creative. Usually these videos are so boring but you are AMAZING

  • @LaaLaaLandoOoAlways
    @LaaLaaLandoOoAlways 7 років тому +1

    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!

  • @way108
    @way108 7 років тому

    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.

  • @dominiquegambino8512
    @dominiquegambino8512 7 років тому +66

    If only I was your child.. all the kids would surround me at lunch

  • @samshandrow6369
    @samshandrow6369 7 років тому +1

    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.

  • @knittysixx5106
    @knittysixx5106 7 років тому

  • @heatherharris6775
    @heatherharris6775 7 років тому

    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!!

  • @monique.shamirah
    @monique.shamirah 7 років тому

  • @bethsummerfield9855

  • @emily407
    @emily407 7 років тому +38

    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!

  • @JackyTheGreat123
    @JackyTheGreat123 7 років тому

    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!

  • @HealthistaTV
    @HealthistaTV 7 років тому +2

    These are great!! lots of different combinations so you're never going to be bored. Bento box number 2 is my winner.

    @tashamasha3501 7 років тому

    Favorite bento idea video ever! I love the variety and having leftovers to create the additional bentos. Great job as usual, Lauren.💗

  • @immaskinnywhitebitch
    @immaskinnywhitebitch 7 років тому +2

    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!

  • @adrianlamb5356
    @adrianlamb5356 7 років тому +1

  • @JudgeJeana
    @JudgeJeana 7 років тому

    This is genius! I love how you repurpose ingredients! Genius!

  • @lunarsugar
    @lunarsugar 7 років тому

    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, 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.
