Bento-Style Snack Box

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup edamame shelled
  • 1/2 cup cheese cubes cheddar, mozzarella, or your child’s favorite
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup pretzels

Method
 

  1. Instructions: 1 In a bento box or lunch container, place the shelled edamame in one compartment.
  2. Fill another compartment with cheese cubes.
  3. Add the cherry tomatoes to a separate section.
  4. Place the pretzels in a different compartment to keep them crunchy.
  5. Close the bento box securely and pack it in your child’s lunchbox.
  6. Notes: You can add a small container of hummus or yogurt for dipping. Feel free to customize the snack box with other favorites like sliced cucumber, carrot sticks, or apple slices.

Notes

Set up an assembly line on Sunday night: line up 5 lunch boxes, fill them all at once, and refrigerate. Mornings become grab-and-go instead of a scramble.
