Just wanted to let you know that watching these videos with my kids has convinced them to try loads of new foods (because mom's opinion on what's delicious just can't be trusted. *eye roll*) and they love the stuff we've tried. Thanks!

[@JessicaBeautician]

Haha! Ah thanks so much for the lovely common and for watching Kate - I'm so happy to know you and your kids enjoy the videos and the recipes! ☺️

[@miekzand]

What a timing! Just sat down to make my week plan and I always use your ideas haha. They impress my coworkers every time. Also got a bento box last Friday, so super excited to actually make m in the box. Thank you so much for the top notch content

[@jpeachy4u482]

I always like how you make doing it yourself look not so hard. You have so much more control over ingredients when you do.

[@gustavogomez3286]

monbento should call you their offcial ambassador, you're so good showing and describing all of their products.. Great recepies as always. Love the sushi idea, so clever

[@ABisdoingjustfine]

I adore your bento-box videos! They're what got me hooked onto your channel, and I love the different ideas you come up with. I used to have an ED, and not eating at school/work was the easiest thing to do. Your bento boxes make work lunches sexy, and make it more exciting -- something to look forward to everyday. :) A lot of your wraps (from your previous videos) have become a staple in my lunch box. :)

[@racketmuseum]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, you have truly inspired me.

[@JessicaBeautician]

Ah thank you for the lovely comment and for watching! Glad you’re feeling inspired! ❤️

[@jabberwalky10]

What a great video. I love how you plan out your meals to maximise variety but also cut down on food waste. Each recipe sounded tasty and I am going to try them out next week. Thank you!

[@JessicaBeautician]

Ah I hope you enjoy them if you try them - thanks for the lovely comment and for watching Heather! ☺️

[@vanamarkarian]

Love the sushi idea! Can’t wait to try!

[@AsmitaAgnihotri]

Always looking and waiting for your videos ❤❤❤

[@chantellesimons8536]

Thank you! This is great because I'm not allowed to take anything with nuts in at work, so I really struggle to find any recipes that don't need, or I could substitute in/I can just leave out the snack bar! I hope to see more of your videos with ideas not using nut based products, I can eat them at home, but I love finding your work lunch ideas!

[@JessicaBeautician]

I’ll see what I can do! Thanks so much for the lovely comment and for watching - glad you found it helpful! ☺️

I will be making those falafels after watching this video for my work lunches next week. Great video, thank you.

[@ana_drc]

These are just so great! You’re such an amazing cook Jess! I am probably going to buy myself my first MonBento container using your discount code! 😌 I’ve always wanted to buy one whenever you mentioned them but never really had the opportunity too! I think it’s time to do so! 🙌🏻 Thank you for everything Jess! You’re the sweetest! ✨ Sending you and your little family much love as always! 💜

[@emilywilson7308]

Love the recipes, photography, and your voice!!💕

[@JessicaBeautician]

Ah thanks so much for the lovely comment and for watching Emily! ☺️

[@mariannescheesepulls]

These look super delicious, the only downside is that if you put 2 different foods in the same compartment, it will affect the texture. For example, it’s 109% sure that on Tuesday, those chips got soft after being stored with bread (bagel)

[@topem658]

Just ordered a square monbento box, these ideas look so good! Looking forward to getting healthy in 2023!

[@sazoneevery]

Thank you so much for sharing. I usually buy 6 ready to eat falafels from Asda for nearly £2. Defo going to make them myself and Save a few coins

[@kellyfujitaki8270]

Hello . Big fan of your channel especially these videos. Question regarding the falafels can you use brown rice flour or does it have to be rice flour? I have some dried chickpeas so I would love to try these and see the difference about them not crumbling that you mentioned.

[@rbags934]

Excellent post! Great new recipes to try

[@JessicaBeautician]

So glad you think so! Thanks for the lovely comment and for watching ☺️

[@BrokenAtLove]

Has anyone ever tried making patties with split peas? Those falafels look amazing

[@lorenam4458]

I probably won't be cooking until January, but your videos are so relaxing.

[@JessicaBeautician]

Thanks so much for watching Lorena! ☺️

[@leanertina129]

So love the falafel recipe. Apologise if this has been covered, could I use canned chickpeas?? Xx

[@patrycjaklodnicka3038]

OMG! I'm making these falafels tomorrow! 😍😍😍 If I want to use chickpea from a can, how many should I take? ☺️☺️

[@yara_aaaaaa]

gonna make some of these for my dad :>

[@rmcfarland1743]

Love the falafel recipes! I was just wondering if I made a batch of those falafel, would they be OK to freeze? And if so what way would you go about reheating them? Thank you 😊

[@uthaylahal-arab7580]

Of course you can freeze them! My mom always makes an extra falafel batch and freezes it. For reheating just pop it in the microwave to defrost for a couple of minutes and give it a quick stir after that and you're good to go!

[@ritah_ndlovu]

These look delicious.

[@JessicaBeautician]

Thanks so much for watching! 💕💕

[@sarahdietz4]

I always love your videos! Such a relaxing voice 😌 but I was wondering about the chickpeas, I heard you should never ever prepare them raw as they are poisonous, is that not true for the falaffels?

[@uthaylahal-arab7580]

Your falafel recipe was interesting have you tried an original middle-eastern falafel recipe? For example, we don't use rice flour and it's much simpler than this, we also deep fry them. Regardless I'm going to give it a try!!

[@carmendlugo1585]

Fabulous 😋

[@danagodfrey2979]

[@leanertina129]

Love the falafel recipe, could they be made and part of the batch be frozen? Xx

[@JessicaBeautician]

I haven't actually tried freezing them myself but I don't see why they couldn't be! Sorry I couldn't be more helpful - thanks for watching ☺️

[@shitlista4283]

Love, love, love, love your recipes! Out of all the vegans on youtube your food looks the best! One question - how much uncooked rice do you use per sushi roll? Thanks!

[@JessicaBeautician]

So kind, thanks so much for the lovely comment and for watching my videos! So happy to know you enjoy them ☺️ I use around 1/3 cup uncooked rice per nori sheet, hope this helps!

How do you keep the yogurt from spoiling?

[@JessicaBeautician]

Food shouldn't be kept out of the fridge for longer than 2 hours, so these are made to be kept in the fridge which would stop the yoghurt from spoiling 🙂

wont the hummus leak everywhere within the bento box when its not stored up straight?

[@JessicaBeautician]

No, the lid fits right over the hummus pot and with the seal is airtight, but it's always a good idea to keep lunchboxes stored upright anyway! Thanks for watching ☺️

Is the coconut chocolate bar nice?

Yes! Tasted like a vegan bounty! ☺️

I just got my Bento box and can’t wait to use it! But is it only me, or are they so hard to open?🤭😬 Im really afraid of spilling all my food haha😅

Haha! Ah they're very airtight (which is a good thing) but can be difficult to open, I find it gets easier in time though ☺️ Enjoy your bento box!

[@katarzyna7814]

are you sure that there is only 1 cup dried chickpeas in falafel? It looks like there is more of it. I made it, and I could make only 6 falafels :(
