Bentgo Prep 3-Compartment Meal Prep Containers, 20 Piece Set
A low cost, stackable meal prep set for dry or firm foods, not soups.
We bought California Home Goods 5-Compartment Reusable Food Storage Containers with Lids, Bento Lunch Box, Set of 10. It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is a widely reviewed set of ten reusable compartment meal prep containers with lids at a similar price, though with three compartments.
The short version
- People who prep a week of lunches at once
- Anyone tracking portions by volume
- Households that want a large, stackable set at a low price
- You need five compartments, as the original had
- You pack soups or saucy food that needs a leakproof seal
- You want glass containers
What owners like
- Marked compartments make portioning simple
- Stack neatly in the fridge
- Recommended by NBC Select for snack packs and meals
Common complaints
- Lids must come off for microwaving
- No leakproof claim, so soups and sauces are a risk
- Plastic rather than glass

What it does
A set of ten reusable plastic 3 compartment meal prep trays with ten lids for packed lunches and portioned meals; reviewed here in place of the California Home Goods set of 10, which could not be documented.
- Portion volumes embossed on each tray
- Clear lids that stack in the fridge
- Microwave and freezer safe trays
- Reusable in place of single use takeout boxes
- Several color options
A good pick for weekly meal prep if you want a known brand, stackable trays and portion sizes marked on the tray. The trade-offs are three compartments rather than more, lids that should come off before microwaving, and no leakproof claim from the maker.
