Lunch Made Easy: Olympic Lunchbox

Hey friends! My fellow bento packin' mamas and I are having an Olympic Lunch Hop Friday! WOO! Get excited! ;)

Make sure you follow the button at the end of this post and hop along to check out everyones AH-mazing ideas!! The posts should all be live mid-morning tomorrow.


Little Miss has SunButter Olympic Ring sandwiches on Udi's gluten, nut, dairy, and soy free bread.
The red, yellow, green, and blue rings are topped with cheese painted with food coloring. The black ring is melted chocolate. I got this fabulous chocolate idea from Mamabelly over at Lunches with Love.

The sandwiches themselves were easy to make; I just used my smaller circle cookie cutters and filled them with SunButter SunFlower Seed Spread. Then topped with the colored cheese and chocolate.


As for the rest of the lunch, I have spinach leaves arranged above the sandwich rings to represent the ancient Greek Olympic Laurel Leaf Crowns.
Top left is Chobani Greek yogurt with multi-colored sprinkles in a red silicone cup.
Top right are halved red seedless grapes and carrot 'medal' coins. ;)

I made the picks myself with my printables from Hoosier Homemade. I reduced the size, printed, cut out, and adhered with tape on the back to a toothpick. Simple!
This Olympic bento is packed inside an EasyLunchBoxes container.
