Slimware Dishes: Ceramic Plates Review

I may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post. This costs you absolutely no extra money (of course), it simply allows me to maintain the lifestyle my cats are accustomed to!

A few weeks ago I was sent a GORGEOUS set of Slimware Ceramic Plates to review on the food blog. It was love at first sight and I’ve only fallen further in love with them each time I’ve used them.

Slimware dishes are “Smart Plates Designed to Encourage Healthy Eating Habits.”  Their innovative approach HAS to make every other dish and plate designer in the world ask, “Why didn’t we think of that?!”

Each plate is designed to help you keep healthy portions in mind as you fill your plate. The beautiful plate I was sent is the Bluebelle Slimware plate. Each plate is similarly designed, allowing the plate to be visually divided into four sections, varying in size. In Bluebelle’s case, it’s four flowers.

As you can see in the image below, the larger section is for vegetables (understandably enough!). The next largest section is for carbs/side dishes. The smaller sections are for proteins/entrees.

I’m absolutely struck by how ingenious these plates are. They take all of the guesswork out of it – encouraging healthier eating while also reminding you to keep portion size in mind.

Features

• Each Slimware box contains 4 MICROWAVE SAFE ceramic plates.
• Slimware is a unique line of casual dinnerware with an emphasis on portion consciousness fused with elegant yet convenient dining. Why waste time with the tedious task of counting calories when you can just use your eyes to limit your portions. If you eat less, you’ll weigh less.
• Slimware will change the way you LOOK at dieting! Each plate provides graphically-designed areas for food placement.

While I do love and applaud the thinking behind these plates, I’d be lying if I didn’t say that my favorite thing about them is how gorgeous they are. If the others are as beautiful as the Bluebelle dishes (and I’m certain they are!), you can’t possibly go wrong with ordering any design.

When I opened my box, I was immediately struck by how NICE these dishes are – thick, heavy, and very colorful. Everything about them says quality and I actually want more! I noticed on the website that they also have “Measure Up Bowls,” which are also beautiful.

As you can tell from the picture below (gluten free biscuits – YUM!), I use the plates for more than just portion control – they’re just absolutely gorgeous.

Bluebelle and Dandelion Dreams (white with dandelions) are Microwavable, Ceramic Slimware plates. Slimware also has a line of  Melamine Plates which include Urban Safari  (leopard print with bold, colorful flowers), Sunburst (bright yellow with white flowers), and Jubilee (red with cherry blossoms).

Any of These Plates (sold in sets of four) Would Be Perfect For:

• … anyone trying to lose weight. Portion control cannot be emphasized enough!
• …. Mother’s Day gift.
• …. Father’s Day gift.
• …. Christmas gift – for any adult on your list.
• …  diabetics. A diabetic has to eat certain amounts of certain foods each day – what better way to measure them out than allowing your plates to do the work for you?!
• …. anyone on any sort of restrictive diet.
