December: the month of madness. You are busy and have no time to stop for a complicated lunch. I have the solution – an anti-inflammatory bento bowl. Last month we featured a meatless combination for lunch, the month before we went with a delicious healthy yogurt snack, but in December we’re going less complicated. No recipe needed – get it at the store and turn your lunch into a quickie meal.

For the last three months we have tested out samples of the San Yoshi Lacquerware Bento Bowl which are BPA free, microwave safe, and dishwasher safe. Find San Yoshi Lacquerware bento box or bento bowl colors at WhiskNYC and MoMA Store. To find additional colors and designs reach out to the team at Focus America.

Below is a very simple bento bowl lunch to help you eat while being on the move for the holidays. Wrapping presents? Working double shifts? Living in the fast lane? No problem hit this yummy anti-inflammatory lunch on the fly.
