Save the Whale Earth Day Lunch
April 19, 2012
Cora was so excited by the Earth Day theme yesterday, she woke up asking for another one today. I call this one Save the Whale because my ‘blue’ water turned out a sludgy purple so it looks like he is swimming in polluted water. Poor guy!
For more Earth Day themed lunches, see out yesterday’s post (Earth Day Tree Hugger Lunch), then click on the button at the end of the post to hop through the amazing lunches in the Earth Day Bento Blog Hop. There are some really great cute n green lunches in there made by some very talented gals!
In honor of Earth Day, I decided to go entirely vegan with this lunch (except for the gelatin in the vitamin).
Our poor little fruit leather whale is swimming in yummy coconut milk yogurt dyed an odd sludgy purple with blue natural food dye. Other folks got a really nice color using the natural dyes so I think it was a weird reaction to the coconut milk (as opposed to dairy products).
Our vegan Earth Day lunch is finished off with a hummus and spinach reduce, reuse, recycle Earth surrounded by carrot sticks, a broccoli and almond cheese forest (the grass is almond cheese dyed green with natural food dye) and fruit flowers.
