Tiffin Tuesday - A Snack Box

Would you believe you can have a complete bento box full of snack foods and still eat healthy?



You can!


One of the harder parts of packing a bento is: how do I make my loved ones eat their veggies?

The answer: dip dip hooray! From guacamole to hummus to - in this case - peanut sauce - a tasty dip makes veggies even more attractive! I had some leftover peanut sauce in the fridge (you can find a recipe here - the surrounding text is German but the actual recipe in English - this makes a lot and I usually scale it down using a 250 g jar of organic peanut butter).

There is red bell pepper, cucumber and carrot in the box, a dollop of the peanut dip (well I admit: and a small Japanese banana-flavored candy). Plus rice crackers with seaweed, nuts, mango cubes, cherries, a French snacking salami for protein, and an (organic) apple. Napkin optional.

Prep time: 5 Mintes for cutting the vegetables into sticks, and packing.

This is such a great idea - especially for kids' lunches. It just goes to show you that it's pretty easy to be healthy and fun at the same time. Good job!!

Interesting story as for me. I'd like to read a bit more about this topic.
BTW look at the design I've made myself London escort
