PlanetBox is the best lunch box with built-in utensils

PlanetBox is the best lunch box with built-in utensils because the fork and spoon actually live inside the lid, not in a clip that falls off or a pocket you’ll forget to use.

The fork and spoon are flat stainless steel. They snap into the lid, so nothing rattles around when you walk. The lid itself seals with magnets, which sounds gimmicky but is honestly one of the easiest closures I’ve used. The whole thing is stainless steel, so it holds up to being tossed in a bag, and the compartments are sized for a real adult lunch, not a toddler’s snack tray.

If you don’t want to spend PlanetBox money, the Bentgo Modern is the next best thing. It’s plastic, lighter, and still has a dedicated utensil slot with included fork and spoon, but it’s not as rugged. Monbento does a clip-on set that works okay, but I’ve seen them pop off in transit. And honestly, if you’re on a budget, a cheap lunch box plus a bamboo utensil set you throw inside solves the same problem.

Once you stop digging through office drawers for a clean fork, you won’t go back.
