Hello people!
Back from summer holidays and I struggle to put myself at a routine, get organized and ready to go to a gym. With small steps, I try to fight this feeling of laziness and motivate myself for a fresh start. I find meal-prep a good weapon, cause healthy, colorful non-boring food makes me feel good with myself and with my body. Here are some delicious ideas, that can also help you if you have kids at school and want them to eat healthily!

3. Mexican Quinoa Bento Box
In the mood for some Mexican food, but don’t have the time to whip anything up?
Well, then it’s time you try out this easy bento box.
Consisting of easy-to-make quinoa, fried up peppers, and some protein-rich beans, this is a bento box that will take you less than 5 minutes to throw together (cook a big batch of quinoa on Sunday for the week; it only takes 15 minutes).
To really take this bento box to the next level, try adding nice serving of salsa to the quinoa, along with some avocado. Top it all off with some Mexican seasoning or hot sauce for an extra splash of flavor! (this hot sauce is perfect if you like medium heat but with some tang)

4. Turkey Club Roll-Ups Bento Box
Maybe there’s nothing you love more than a turkey sandwich, but you’re looking for some more nutrition in your lunch?
Well, then I think you’re going to love this bento box.
With a turkey sandwich as your main course, in this bento box, you also have plenty of other options to help keep you full and energized all throughout your day. A hard-boiled egg will give you your protein, grapes will satisfy that pesky sugar craving, and I think we all know that you can’t go wrong with some cherry tomatoes in your life.

5. Buffalo Chicken Bento Box
Make these delicious buffalo chicken meatballs in your instant pot on a Sunday night, and voila, you’ve got a delicious addition to your bento box that you can have all throughout your work week.
Change up your sides, and each day will feel like a different box!
For example, maybe one day bring carrots and celery with hummus, maybe another day add some quinoa, or perhaps even switch it up entirely with some cheese and crackers, or apples and peanut butter. That’s the wonderful thing about bento boxes: you can keep changing them up, and adding different combos so that lunch never gets boring!
