Disney's The Jungle Book Blu-ray Combo Pack Diamond Edition will be hitting store shelves at Walmart on February 11, 2014! Walmart is the only place where you can receive a free Jungle Book Lunch Box with purchase of the Diamond Edition! I am so excited for the release of one of my very favorite Disney movies that I created a Jungle Book inspired Veggie Platter with Walmart produce!
The Jungle Book Inspired Jungle Veggie Platter
I went to Walmart and bought a few fresh vegetables and some hummus to create my own little Jungle Book inspired veggie platter. It was pretty simple to make and I think it came out really cute!
We just got a brand new Walmart store in my neighborhood in October, and they even had a bunch of organic options! 
We don't exclusively eat organic, but I love when I do have an opportunity to buy them at reasonable prices!
This Jungle Veggie Platter is super easy to put together in a few steps. Ingredients 1 tub of hummus, any flavor 1 bunch of brocoli 1 pint of white button mushrooms 1 pint of cherry tomatoes 1 few sprigs of green onions You can also use cauliflower, but I didn't end up having enough room to use mine! Directions Start by spreading the hummus on your platter, concentrating on heaping up as much as possible in the middle. This is going to be the base that you stick your veggies in to keep them upright, and the middle will serve as a river through the jungle, or just a walking path. You say tomato, I say tomaaaaato!
Now it's time to start creating the trees in your jungle. Cut the broccoli close to the base of the florets, where it is thickest. It will make it easier to stick into the hummus if there is a wide base to anchor it down. The florets will help it stay upright, as the even weight distribution will help prevent it from falling over.
With your button mushrooms, remove some of the stems but not all. Your mushrooms will serve as your bushes! Some will be bigger than others, and that is okay! It will give a more dimensional look to your jungle lanscape!
Fill your jungle scene in with a little cherry tomatoes and green onions, they kind of look like bamboo trees! 
What do you think? Does this meet the bear necessities of entertaining?
Bear Necessities, get it? I know, I know, I am a cornball. I just couldn't resist!

It's fun AND healthy on a plate! This would be so great for a kid's party. 🙂
Kenda Smith says
My youngest would love this. He already eats vegetables like they are candy. We'll have to make one of these when it gets warmer and we have outside cookouts. Then he can even "play" with the jungle a bit and mom doesn't have to worry about finding 'trees' on the floor lol
Chrysa says
What a fun platter. Definitely a good way to lure the kids into eating their veggies!
Amy Desrosiers says
I love this idea! I wouldn't even want to ruin it because it is so cute!

Jungle Book is one of my favorite Disney movies. I don't know if my kids have ever seen it. We will have to make a jungle veggie tray and watch this movie one night.

My kids would love this! I did a veggie platter based on Lion King once, so much fun and healthy!

I love the idea of creating a meal with the dvd in mind and making it fun... This is a smart idea for kids.

Neat idea for a jungle-themed veggie tray. It fits perfectly with the movie, which I cannot wait to watch with my 3 year old.
Krystal says
The garlic hummus looks awesome! Walmart has been improving their produce selection lately. I'm impressed!
Alissa says
This is such a cute idea. It would be fun to plan a movie night for the DVD release and this would definitely be on the menu!
Amanda Love says
I'm loving your little jungle. Just like you I try to buy organic when it's reasonable. I don't do much shopping at Walmart though since the commissary is so much cheaper. I'm a big fan of the Jungle Book and have it on DVD but looking forward to it on Blu-Ray.
Prototype Mama says
What a cute idea! I love how you still kept it healthy
Stacie Connerty says
What a cute idea. My son and I just LOVE hummus with just about any kind of vegetables.
Janel says
That's cute! It totally does look like a jungle. I love The Jungle Book movie!
Paige says
I love the jungle book! And that veggie plate looks great!
