If your idea of a school lunch is still a peanut butter and jelly sandwich packaged in a brown paper bag, you are behind the times. Sure, that may have been the norm in the 80s and 90s, but todays packed lunches are getting a makeover.

The modern school lunch has gotten a serious upgrade, thanks in part to a focus on healthier eating. But another part of the shift is the booming popularity of the bento box. Take one look at Pinterest or Instagram, and youll see thousands of photos of kid-friendly bento boxes made for school.
