"What should I bring for lunch?" is never a fun question to ask yourself. Sometimes, you just have nothing prepared, or you're just bored of the same old thing every day. Get creative with "adult lunchables"! Get yourself a bento box or a sectioned off lunch container and start making some fun combinations. Here are 5 ideas to get some inspiration going:

2. Banana Rollups Box
