(Food-Beverage-News.Com, June 03, 2013 ) Walnut, CA -- Ever hear of "Bento boxes?" They are creative boxes designed to divide the meals into different sections to keep the food separated and help with portion control as well. This is a great idea for lunches through the work day and for food separation for the kids when they go to school.
There's a promotion that kicked off today for $3 dollars off a set of silicone cupcake liners . These are a great way to create your own Bento box. Use this code: QM4VWMUA to get your discount!!
Simply take your Tupperware and put the silicone cupcake liners inside and portion to your hearts content. Kids love the bite size portions and the creative colors in their bento box.
For dieters, this is a good way to get on track with food portions and eating right throughout the day.
To help get you in the right frame of mind here is an eyeball test for portions we got off the web: A standard serving of... cereal is 1 cup or the size of a baseball salad dressing is 2 Tbsp or a shot glass nuts is 1 oz or a cupped palm cheese is 1 oz or a ping-pong ball hamburger is 3 oz or a mayo jar lid peanut butter is 1 tsp or one die beef is 3 oz or a bar of soap rice is ½ cup or an ice cream scoop potato is a computer mouse dinner roll is a yo-yo butter is 1 tsp or a Scrabble tile fruit is 1 cup or a tennis ball cooked pasta is ½ cup or a golf ball fish is 3 oz or a checkbook poultry is 3 oz or a deck of playing cards
So, use the Bento box idea with controlled portion estimates to create all kinds of meals for you and your family. Don't forget about the promotion to save $3 bucks on your silicone cupcake liners for your homemade Bento boxes. Happy Planning!
