I thought I'd make an all-fruit snack bento for TinySprite before the summer is completely over. When these beautifully colorful fruit finally go out of season, I'll miss them and the pretty effect they had in our bento. Strawberry, kiwi, grapes, cherries, plum, pluot and nectarine all appear in this bento, as well as a tiny purple carrot flower. Admit it; didn't you have at least one all-fruit meal sometime this summer? When it was so hot you just didn't feel like cooking and couldn't bear to eat anything heavy? Summers are made for fruit. And did you notice the ultra cute Moomin utensils? I got them as a gift from a sweet bento friend and I love them to pieces! Today was overcast and cloudy but this bright bento helped perk us up ^_^

Thanks Jenn! The best thing about summer! Eating easy refreshing foods!

ReplyDeleteWe just sliced watermelon from our garden, but I really want cherries after seeing this. We may need to run to Sprouts tomorrow, for me. ;o)
This snack looks so refreshing...something I can really appreciate on a 105-degree farenheit day!

ReplyDeletefruits, yes love them all. i can survive on fruits alone. hmm, have u tried durian? =)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter would love this all fruit bento! I love the cherry pick!
ReplyDeleteMy breakfast this morning was a perfect nectarine from the farmers market! It's kind of hard to believe we are already into August, with the cool weather we've been having in the North Bay. Maybe this will extend the fruit season? One can hope! Lovely bento, sheri!
