equal portions
Divided fairly among
Equal portions are shares or servings of identical size.
The phrase appears most often with food—dividing a pie into equal portions—but applies to anything divisible: The estate was split into equal portions among the heirs.
The emphasis on equality distinguishes this from simply saying portions, which may vary in size.
