I am simply sharing ideas as inspiration, but these are not intended to be replicated exactly as shown– take what you want and leave what you don’t! That being said, I did design all of the bento box lunches to be between 450 and 550 calories for your convenience, so if you are interested, all nutrition information is available in the eBook (linked above) for both the individual recipes and the entire boxes. Recipes in the eBook are also noted in grams/metric in addition to cups/imperial, and how long the recipe will last is also noted. All of the recipes are intended to be able to be eaten at room temperature or cold, so there is no need to reheat. If there is a recipe you prefer to consume warm, it’s best to package it separately to warm up as you’d like.

ROASTED GREEN PEAS Ingredients 2 cupS fresh or frozen green peas 1 tsp olive oil 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp garlic powder Procedure Preheat oven to 325°F. If using frozen peas, dry out as much as possible in paper towels. If using fresh peas, blanch for 1-2 minutes in boiling water and then dry in paper towels. Toss the dried peas with olive oil and spices. (Remember that you can use any spices you prefer!) Transfer to a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake 35-40 minutes, tossing once. If not crunchy enough, bake another 10-15 minutes. Cool and then serve! ♫ Music from this episode: Saturday Night Shakedown, Marc Jackson Burrows Mind Over Munch Team: Alyssia (instagram.com/mindovermunch) Christian (twitter.com/christianlopetz) Joe - film/editing (YouTube.com/MegaByteFilms) Nadia (instagram.com/mc-haiku) ☺ Connect with me! ☺ ☮ Instagram: http://instagram.com/mindovermunch ☮ Snapchat: alyssiasheikh ☮ eBooks: http://www.mindovermunch.com/ebooks ☮ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/MindOverMunch ☮ Twitter: https://twitter.com/MindOverMunch ☮ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindovermunch ☮ Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/mindovermunch ☮ Website: http://www.mindovermunch.com ★ If you’d like to support our channel directly to help us continue to create great content, check out our Patreon page and consider becoming a patron of the channel.
