    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

      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😊

    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!

  • @MrNioMoon
    @MrNioMoon 7 лет назад +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.

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

  • @treeboftw1
    @treeboftw1 7 лет назад

    Your recipes are always so realistic, so achievable. It's refreshing to find these ideas when RUclips 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!

  • @NinaSowah
    @NinaSowah 7 лет назад

    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

    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 6 лет назад +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.

    @JackyTheGreat123 7 лет назад

    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!

  • @LaaLaaLandoOoAlways
    @LaaLaaLandoOoAlways 7 лет назад +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!

  • @applefalltree
    @applefalltree 7 лет назад

    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 🍚🍚🍚🍚🍚🍚🍚 😝

  • @Katy-xl6ep
    @Katy-xl6ep 7 лет назад

    the re-purpose aspect of this should be mandatory for all bento inspo vids. thank you!!!!

  • @way108
    @way108 7 лет назад

    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.

  • @alex193300

    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!

    @heatherharris6775 7 лет назад

    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!!

  • @lunarsugar
    @lunarsugar 7 лет назад

    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. :)

  • @tashamasha3501

  • @immaskinnywhitebitch
    @immaskinnywhitebitch 7 лет назад +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!

  • @NishaBalsara

    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.
