2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
When it comes to creating these Bento Box recipes, I like to use a mix of protein-rich ingredients, healthy fats, and colorful vegetables.
The boneless, skinless chicken breast provides a great source of protein, while the quinoa and hummus add creaminess and texture.
The cucumber, carrots, and cherry tomatoes add natural sweetness and crunch.
And let’s not forget the fun garnish of chopped fresh cilantro!
