There are a few challenges when trying to eat healthy and pack lunch to go. Looking for a treat to accompany that sandwich, my inclination is to throw in a couple of Snicker bars.
Instead, we load the compartments of a bento box with almonds and dates.
Then a second box is loaded with sliced apples, only there is a twist on these slices.
Core the apple, split it in half and I like to cut off the ends, just too much skin. Spread a thin layer of cinnamon on a piece of paper towel. Set the flat half of the apple on the cinnamon and coat it. Then cut into ¼ inch thick slices.
Prepared this way and stored in a bento box, the apple doesn’t seem to brown and is a really great snack.
Clever trick!
