Bento box recipes for fall

Apple picking season is upon us! There are numerous ways to include apples at meals, snacks and desserts. To prevent getting sick of apples this, why not try something new. Apple and peanut butter “sandwiches” are simple and easy to add your Bento Box. For crunch, add carrots, celery and nuts (limit serving size to ¼ cup). Add hard boiled eggs for extra protein and top with blueberries and dark chocolate chips to satisfy those sweet cravings.
