Star Wars Bento


A few weeks ago I splurged on a Star Wars cupcake decorating kit from William Sonoma. I'm a huge Star Wars geek, and would love to buy everything they have, like the awesome cookie cutters, and the apron, but they are really expensive IMO.

Today's bento is pretty simple. A nice salad and a star-shaped, triple layered, peanut butter and nutella sandwich on gluten free bread (in a Star Wars cupcake liner).

Bento Product Review: Justin's Nut Butter

Look at these fantastic little nut butter packets! Aren't they perfect for bento lunches, or snacks on-the-go? I particularly liked the selection. As you can see in the photo, there are several nut butters and several flavors.

Because I couldn't wait to try them, I didn't pack a fancy bento lunch. As I type I'm eating some Justin's Chocolate Peanut Butter on Udi's Gluten Free bread. One packet, at 170 calories, is perfect for two slices of bread. The ingredient list is impressive, being mostly organic and sweetened with evaporated cane juice. There is a perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter, with neither flavor overwhelming the other. Yum.

So, big thumbs up for Justin's nut butter products. I still have traditional and honey peanut butter to try, so I will update you if my opinion changes (but I doubt it will). I regret not buying more (I don't live near the store I found them in), but it's o.k., because I found them on Amazon:
