So the Bento Lunch thing hasn’t gotten old yet. Monday’s lunch is in my new little 4-compartment case that I picked up at Mitsuwa for $3.99, and I LOVE this thing. Bento is a super fun way to make a nice light lunch with lots of variety and a surprising amount of food.

Red Compartment: Dried Mangoes, 100-calorie pack of Grasshopper cookies, cranberry nut clusters

Green Compartment: Apricot & Grapes

Gold Compartment: Sugar-free strawberry-banana Jell-O with a sliced strawberry

Purple Compartment: Sharp cheddar cheese cubes, sugar snap peas and cherry tomatoes

I’ll be enjoying this with a Dannon Frusion yogurt “smoothie”.

I’ve had my Bento Box for a little over a year, but this is the first bento I’ve really take a lot of time on making adorable. My friend Tracy’s on a bento kick and I decided to join in!

In the bottom tier I’ve got ants-on-a-log (celery with peanut butter & raisins) some cheese crackers with peanut butter and a couple cranberry nut clusters. The top tier has some All-Bran Multi-Grain crackers, Lauging Cow French Onion Cheese, sugar snap peas and baby carrots.

The sandwich container has a turkey and cheddar sandwich cut into an adorable flower and little stars with some assorted vegetables.

My favorite part of my bento kit is the Engrish on the cover. “Putifresh! Happy fruits is very delicious. I will eat this and will become fortunate all together!” ©Lube Sheep. This was actually a lot of fun!! I look forward to playing some more with this, and to see what Tracy comes up with.
