Breakfast Bento Box with Olives

How many hours do you think we parents spend a day feeding our families? I haven’t counted – but I often feel like all I do is prepare a meal, clean up after that meal, and then start another meal.

With my kids home 24/7 right now due to the pandemic, I am packing up bento boxes just to give myself a break for some meals.

If you need quick meal ideas for mornings on the run, lunches for school or work, or dinners you can just grab out of the fridge, take some inspiration from the Mediterranean diet and make tapa-inspired bento boxes.

Breakfast Bento Box

We loaded these breakfast bento boxes with fresh berries, grapes, and mandarin oranges for a sweet, juicy hit of vitamin C…

Then we added deli meat, firm cheese, and hard-boiled eggs for much needed morning protein…

And then rounded it all up with some healthy fats in flavour-packed Gordal olives…

Bento Box with table olives

Gordal olives also referred to as “queen olives” or “table olives”, have a savoury, delicate flavour, and are perfect for all kinds of tapas, appetizers — and bento boxes!

European olives are affordable, low in calories, (one serving of 7 table olives has 37 calories,) and they contain an ideal mix of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fiber, oleic acid, and antioxidants.

Did you know that table olives are a good source of vitamin E? And black table olives also provide you with iron.

Adding European Olives is an easy, inexpensive way to make a balanced, healthy, delectable breakfast on the go.
