Eating five to six small meals a day to stay healthy and, for some, lose weight, has been made even easier with these examples of handheld food. Smaller portions make way for more creative recipes, presentations and packaging that make on-the-go eating easier and more convenient. Not to mention that such experiments help deter trips to the nearest fast food joint.
Whether it is a small fold-down carton that holds one pie or it is a pizza that has been reshaped as a cone, these examples of handheld food are clever and creative. Although many of these dishes target health-conscious individuals, they are also great for those who are always busy as well as casual parties, which are plentiful during the summer.
