Gluten-Free Strawberry Pop Tart Sandwich Bento


#GlutenFree-#Strawberry-#PopTart-Sandwich-#Bento.

This Gluten-Free Strawberry Pop Tart Sandwich Bento is a twist on a childhood lunch. Cream cheese and jam sandwiches were introduced to me in Tokyo by my stepmother. Apparently it was a ‘50s classic.

Go with red apples for an all red theme. Go for green apples if you prefer a bit of tart to balance sweet pastry.

 

Ingredients: 
  • Dried cherries or cranberries
  • Green or red apple slices
  • Glutino Gluten-Free Strawberry or Cinnamon Apple Toaster Pastry (aka Pop Tarts)
  • Glutino Gluten-Free Animal Crackers
  • Vegan (or dairy) cream cheese
  • Optional:  A small surprise gift for your child
Directions: 

Scoop a tablespoon (or more!) of cream cheese between the halves of a Glutino Gluten-Free Strawberry Toaster Pastry. Sprinkle in dried fruit alongside fresh fruit. Add a generous handful of animal crackers. Tuck a surprise trinket into the bento box as an extra treat.
