This bento I wanted to try something a little different. I'm still working with the flach. It's just not working with me! :O)
The top picture is the flourish I usually throw in the top of the container where the silverware can be stored. It's always a singly-wrapped chocolate. This one is a Ghirardelli 60% cacao dark chocolate with caramel. If you're in a low glycemic load lifestyle, these are extremely 'inexpensive' carbwise, at only 7 carbs per very satisfying square.
In the middle picture, the peanut butter rolls can also be very low glycemic-load. Made with FlatOut Wraps, rolled tightly and cut into individual finger bites, these are very satisfying. Kids don't even realize they're not eating tortilla shells, and because they're so small and cute, that's what they see. Not the ingredients! Of course the Ritz Bitz crackers are not low glycemic load, but it is something fun they like right now.
In the bottom picture, I tried one of my new fun bento toys and hard-boiled some eggs. Unfortunately, because of the flash, you can't see that it's a teddy bear! (The next post will show how these are made and the utensil for this). I tucked some spinach greens around him for a collar, or maybe he's really lurking in the trees... shhhhhh... I also used carrots for color and crunch, and inside the cute little puppy condiment container I have Ken's Steakhous ranch dressing, which is only 1 carb per Tbsp.
The girls saw their lunches today and were very excited! I have so much fun doing these things for them. I don't know who enjoys it more! (I think it's me, but they'll say it's them).
