Cute lunches

We all know "you eat with your eyes first."  Even if my food is tasty, I don't enjoy it as much as I do when it looks nice, or is presented in a fun or interesting way, such as a bento box or really cute plate/bowl.  

So I found this on skinnytaste.com while browsing through old posts, and although these ideas are actually geared toward kids, I think they'd be fun for adults too--especially WLS patients with their smaller portions. So cute!!!

 


 






Here's a link to the original post if you wanna read it...and definitely check out her blog if you haven't heard of it.  It's one of my favorites!  Tons and tons of awesome ideas for healthy recipes, and everything I've tried has been DELICIOUS.

  1. I also find for some reason that I eat less when I prepare food elaborately. It's like I enjoy it more, somehow! These are adorable!

  2. I read something about that actually ^^^ that when you take the time to prepare a meal, it automatically will be more satisfying than something you just grab and go with. (It was worded a little better than that, lol). But it rang especially true to me, in light of the fact I've been eating so little lately, and not eating any of the "treats" I usually rely on, yet I've felt very "treated" I imagine because I'm taking time to thoughtfully prepare my meals with some flavor combining and color.
