How to make a colorful bento lunch box for kids

Here I’m explaining the ingredients and method of making a healthy Peanut butter

Ingredients

1. Cooked chapati/ roti/ tortilla wrap – 1 no.
2. Homemade peanut butter – 1.5 tablespoon
3. Ripe banana – 1 no.
4. Vegetables of choice – carrot, cucumber and cherry tomato
5. Fruits – strawberries and blue berries

Method

1. Spread the peanut butter over the chapati evenly.
2. Place the ripe plantain on it and roll tightly. Peanut butter will act as a glue to stick the chapati.
3. Cut the roll into bite-sized pieces.
4. Arrange the cut roll pieces in a bento box/ lunch box.
5. Arrange carrot sticks, cucumber slices and cherry tomatoes.
6. Arrange strawberries and blueberries.
