Ingredients

  • 2 slices of sandwich bread
  • 1 ½ tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 ½ tablespoon jelly
  • 1 apple, sliced
  • ½ cup baby carrots
  • ½ cup berries

Instructions

Make the sandwich:

  • Spread the peanut butter on both slices of bread. Spread the jelly on one side and close the sandwich. Slice in half or into 4 pieces.

Fill the bento lunch box:

  • Place the PBJ sandwich pieces inside the main compartment of a bento-style lunch box. Add the apple slices and the baby carrots, packed tightly inside. These can go in the same compartment as the pbj.
  • Place the berries, sliced strawberries or blueberries, in a separate compartment, away from the sandwich, since these contain a lot of moisture. Close the bento lunch box.

Pack for school:

  • Place the bento lunch it inside a lunch bag with an ice pack, if necessary.
