Late start and a terrible picture

Nevertheless, here's lunch:  GFCF Pumpkin Muffin Bites, Banana, Grapes, Raspberry Fruit Leather, Cheddar Cheese sticks and Rice Cakes.

So, from what I can gather, there are few guiding principals when packing a Bento box.  They should:
*be Bright! and Colorful!
*contain half it's weight in carbs, 1/3 it's weight in fruits and veg with the remainder of the space occupied by protein.

So, I'm working on it.  Trying to get the boy to eat something not on the beige, yellow, orange side of the color wheel is a bit of a challenge.
As for the carbs, we have already started the switch to non-wheat carbs, so it's becoming easier to fill that space with a variety of things!
