📖 Instructions

1. Gather your ingredients: You'll need about a 1/4 cup of almonds (raw or roasted, your choice!), a handful of your favorite fresh fruits (berries, apple slices, grapes all work well), some chopped veggies (carrot sticks, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips), and any other healthy snacks you enjoy (cheese cubes, hard-boiled egg slices, whole-wheat crackers).
2. Prep the produce: Wash and thoroughly dry all fruits and vegetables. Chop them into bite-sized pieces for easy snacking.
3. Assemble the bento box: Choose a bento box or a container with separate compartments. This will help keep your snacks organized and prevent them from getting soggy.
4. Start with almonds: Place the almonds in one of the compartments. I usually opt for the largest section as almonds are the star!
5. Add fruits: Fill another compartment with your selection of fresh fruits. Mix and match colors and textures for a visually appealing and tasty snack.
6. Include veggies: Arrange the chopped vegetables in a separate compartment. This adds a satisfying crunch and plenty of vitamins.
7. Optional additions: If desired, add cheese cubes, hard-boiled egg slices, or whole-wheat crackers to other compartments for added protein and fiber. A small piece of dark chocolate can also be a welcome treat!
8. Seal and store: Close the bento box tightly. Store in the refrigerator if you're including perishable items. Otherwise, it can be kept at room temperature for a few hours.
9. Enjoy on the go: Grab your Almonds Bento and take it with you wherever you go! It's the perfect snack for work, school, travel, or any time you need a healthy pick-me-up.
