More Popsicles

I have been making a lot of Popsicles lately, but I haven't sat down to write a post about them yet... until now.

 PBJ Popsicles!!!
These were made with Chobani Vanilla Greek Yogurt, Teddie Natural Chunky Peanut Butter and Palmer All Fruit Blackberry Spread.
I blended the yogurt and peanut butter together, then added little chunks of the fruit spread and blended it gently so there would still be spots of fruit spread throughout the pop.
Soooo Creamy and Rich, This Popsicle was a satisfying dessert.

 Very Berry Popsicles.
I mixed Chobani Champions Very Berry Greek Yogurt with a few Blueberries.
This Popsicle was very creamy and delicious, and could be eaten as a breakfast or a snack, as well as a dessert.

 Watermelon Fruit Pops!

I blended Watermelon in my blender and poured it into the molds.

These are super simple but amazingly sweet and refreshing. I could eat 2 or 3 of them in one sitting because they are sooooo goood. Plus they are only about 20 calories each because all it is made of is watermelon and the juice from the watermelon.

My fiance liked them too! :)

Turkey & Veg Kabob Bento

I made mini turkey and vegetable kabobs to dip into salsa, and then some fruit kabobs for dessert. I like kabobs for bento because you don't need any utensils to eat it, just pick up the pick/skewer and enjoy.

• Turkey and Vegetable Kabobs (Deli Turkey, Tomato, Cucumber, Carrot)
• Salsa (To dip kabobs into)
• Fruit Kabobs (Clementine, Blueberries, Kiwi, Honeydew Melon)
• 9 Animal Cookies (Gluten Free Original and Chocolate)

This was a simple bento to make; All II had to do was roll up the turkey slices and cut them, slice the veggies and kiwi, and assemble the kabobs onto my longest food picks. Then I added a silicone cup for the salsa and one for the cookies. Done!
And it tasted good too! Another good dip for the Turkey & Vegetable Kabobs would be Ranch Dressing!

See how easy it can be to make bento? Anyone could do it.

Yummy Hummus Spring Bento

It is a beautiful spring day and I have been in the mood for fresh vegetables and fruit lately, so I have been having a lot of veggie sticks and hummus. So once again I have a bento lunch with Hummus, Veggies, Fruit, and Crackers packed in my Eco-friendly LunchBots Quad.

• Cucumber Sticks (1/4 Cup)
• 10 Baby Carrots
• Celery Sticks (1 med Stalk)
• 4 Cracked Pepper and Herb Crackers (Crunchmaster 7 Ancient Grains GF)
• Radish Star
• 1 Tbsp Roasted Red Pepper Hummus + 1 Tbsp Original Hummus
• 15 Blueberries
• 2 Kiwi 'Leaves' ( Sliced Kiwi cut with a 'Leaf' Food Cutter)
• Avocado and Tomato Salad (Cubed Avocado, Diced Tomato, Cracked Pepper)

It was so fresh and light and delicious. I really love fresh fruit and vegetables. I could live off of a garden if I also had some nut trees as well. Maybe I should just be a vegetarian since I eat vegetarian all the time.

I hope you all have a wonderful day, and enjoy the nice weather while you can! :) I hope to get in a nice walk later.

Star Burger Bento

I was going to make a simple dinner of leftovers from last night... but I saw the star cookie cutter and the wheels started turning in my head. I turned the simple leftovers into a Star Burger Bento. The burger and the corn were leftover from last night's dinner. and the carrots and cucumber were leftover from the veggie platter I made last weekend veggie. The avocado was getting really soft so I had to use it up soon... and this is what I came up with...

• Corn on the Cob (Sprinkled with Cracked Pepper)
• Baby Carrots
• Cucumber
• Tomato and Avocado Salad (Tomatoes, Avocado, Cracked Pepper, and the tiniest amount of Salt)
• Star Burger (Udi's GF Omega Flax & Fiber Bread, Spinach, Tomato, Avocado, Turkey Burger)

Even the bento box is leftover! I had packed my lunch in it earlier, and it was still sitting on the counter for me to put away... but I grabbed it for this dinner bento.

YUMMY! This was a delicious and healthy dinner. The avocado and tomato added a lot of flavor to the burger so I didn't have to add any ketchup, Mustard, Relish, or BBQ Sauce... I usually like my burgers with 'the works'.

PBJ Work Bento

I work at a frozen yogurt shop called Swizzles. It's a lot of fun, but it's bad for someone who is watching their (added) sugar intake. In order to help myself resist, I packed a healthy and filling bento lunch to bring with me.

Here is my healthy and filling Work Lunch:

• PBJ (Udi's GF Omega Fiber & Flax Bread, Teddie Chunky Peanut Butter w/Flax, Raspberry All Fruit Spread w/Fiber)
• Watermelon
• Roasted Edamame and Soynuts
• Super Cinnamon Smoothy (a fruit and protein smoothy mix that I found at the grocery store)

YUM!

Zucchini Noodles & Rainbow Fruit

I had some leftover Zucchini Noodles, so I quickly blanched them to use in my bento today. I also had a ton of fruit left in the fridge. The rest of the strawberries and Blueberries, as well as a little bit of pineapple and melon left before I go grocery shopping tomorrow. So I made this delicious leftover bento.

 Who said leftovers had to be ugly? Check out the beautiful colors of this Bento box with Leftover Zucchini Noodles and Rainbow Fruit Salad!

 This tier has the Zucchini Noodles.

• Zucchini Noodles 
• I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray,
• Parmesan Cheese
• Tomato

And this tier has my Rainbow Fruit Salad

• Strawberry
• Clementine
• Pineapple
• Honeydew
• Blueberries
• Watermelon

And see that purple pick? That is a finger pick that slips on over the pointer finger and makes it fun and easy to eat small foods. I have a rainbow of finger picks to choose from. :)

House of Sticks & Big Bad Wolf Bento

I woke up inspired to make this bento. I have made a House of Straw Bento here, and I knew I wanted to make the house of Sticks next, but I just didn't feel the inspiration for it... until today. My fiance loves wolves, so I wanted to make the big bad wolf. Unfortunately I didn't have much to make the wolf out of. I looked around for things I could use to make the bento, and I was able to make a wolf out of a weird looking horse cookie cutter.

 

My fiance's Bento consists of:

• House of Sticks (Whole Wheat Bread, Natural Peanut Butter, Pretzel Sticks)
• Sky (Blueberries)
• Sun (Pineapple)
• Grass (Spinach)
• Pig (Gluten Free Animal Cookie colored pink with a Strawberry)
• Wolf (Whole Wheat Bread Crust, Natural Peanut Butter)

I originally used a pig cookie cutter and some bread to make the pig, but it was too big. The wolf and the pig would have been the same size. So I decided to use the cookie instead. Oink!
