It's the middle of the week and today, we're recycling a cute old jam jar into this:
It's an earth-friendly container for a fresh fruit salad! Quite fashionable if I should say so myself: a colorful paper napkin is tied around its waist like a Japanese Obi (belt). The rubber band keeps both napkin and bamboo fork in place.
Use your favorite fruits in season. Peel & cut them up into bite-size pieces, then toss in a bowl. Scoop into clean jam jars, dress it up and store in the fridge. It will be ready to go if you need a quick breakfast before dashing off to work or as a snack when you take the kids & pets to the park. 
"Undress" the bottle and use the paper napkin as a placemat, to dab your lips and for easy clean-up. This homemade fruit cup is guaranteed to be healthy (no sugary syrup or preservatives), inexpensive and will surely make your Mama (birth mom & Mother Earth) proud!
Indeed, this is a cute and chic way to eat fruit. I would feel very cool at a picnic with this fruit cup :)
ReplyDeleteWhat very cute ideas you have here! We go through Bonne Maman like crazy -- my husband eats this stuff every day and while I do recycle the jars in the recycling bin (a relatively new concept here in France - can you believe it!?), you've given me some fantastic ideas to recycle right here in my own apartment.

ReplyDeleteThanks Made Sweet!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea, too. Where did you find the wooden fork? Oh, thanks for the comment on my blog today.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pattern & Perspective! This is a recycled fork I got from a cupcake shop in NYC called "Sweet Revenge". Bamboo utensils are sold in sets...I've seen them in NYC shops like Broadway Panhandler, Dean & Deluca and I think they might have them at Wholefoods =)
