Presenting the rose pistachio fig lunchbox – one of our most popular posts ever! I mean chocolate dipped figs, what’s not to love. Sharp-eyed readers will also note that today we had not one, but two new toys to play with! Introducing the newest addition to our lunchbox family, the Lunchbots Duo. Obviously enough, duo; two compartments – pretty cool because it means you’re not limited to just ‘main and two side dishes’ anymore. We’re all about equality here, and advocate equal rights for both savoury and dessert lunch treats everywhere!
Additionally, we have a new work area to mess around on! Marble is great, but sometimes you want a warmer feel right? Now we have this lovely wood background to use. Hope you guys like it, let me know which one you prefer!
All that excitement, and we haven’t even dealt with the actual food yet! I must say, this lunch box really took Amy’s breath away. All you need to do is prepare some spicy, marinated tofu and set it on a nice summer salad. Broccolini and avocado are always fun, and I got some beautiful full looking pea pods from the garden to use, but anything will work. Put all your favourite fresh, light vegetables in there and top it off with some red chilli. Moving onto dessert, all you’ve got to do is melt some dark chocolate, then dip your figs and coat in your favourite toppings. We love rose petals and pistachio, but anything goes! Any nuts or little nibblies could work well (buckwheat kernels, citrus powder, pop rocks?) so go with what you feel. Set them in the fridge, then serve on a muesli, coconut yoghurt and fruit base. Heaven!
