The ubiquitous Ziploc Twist-n-Loc bowl. $10 will buy you 3 of them.

I can't claim this being my idea. I originally got it from Adventure Alan, but I've been using it ever since.

2 cups, 24.5 grams (sans lid), food-grade plastic, and ~$3.50. And it fits (reasonably well) around the outside of a Toaks 550/650/750. Works as both a bowl and a coffee mug. They are stackable, so they fit inside each other in case you want to take more than 1.

There are many similar/comparable offerings from other brands, so don't take this as a brand endorsement. Inexpensive, effective, and durable, and very light weight. What more do you need?

If you look, amongst all the debris on the table and my beaming childishness, you can see two Twist-N-Loc bowls stacked with a grey Liteload towel inside.
