Image Inspiration

A top-down BariBowl II product photo with seasoned ground turkey taco meat in the large lower protein section, black beans mixed with cauliflower rice inside the red cup as the carb portion, and shredded romaine, tomatoes, and red onion in the section to the right of the red cup as the vegetable portion.

Photo Direction

Place the finished recipe inside the BariBowl II product shown in the reference photo. Preserve the top-down angle, transparent glass container, red silicone cup, and visible portion divisions. Use the large lower section for protein, place the carb portion inside the red cup, and place the vegetables in the section to the right of the red cup. Keep the food inside the product boundaries and make the 50% protein, 20% carb, and 30% vegetable ratio visually clear.
