This dandy set has become our go-to pick for breakfasts (such as yogurt or oatmeal with accompaniments), soups, and salads because of its leakproof shape and matching spork. When you’re done eating, the empty containers nest together, making it even more convenient to tote home.

Comes in lime, orange, and black — $23 from black+blum and Amazon.
