With Back-to-School upon us, you might be wondering how to keep the nutrition going packed up in your kiddos’ lunch pail. I’m here today to offer a few ways to make them nutrient-packed and a step beyond the norm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Recently, I came across the new Cauliflower Thins and Jicama Wraps from Trader Joe’s. They are delicious and a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your child’s diet. They are also an excellent option for kids with Celiac Disease or who have a nut allergy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For the Cauliflower Thins, you can layer thin slices of cucumber, a slice of organic deli turkey (omit if vegan), thin slices of avocado or a spread of guacamole, and a slice of tomato.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you want a healthier take on Lunchables pizza, you can also pack it along with a side of tomato sauce, shredded cheese, and olives or another favorite topping to build your own pizza.<\/p>\r\n

Low\u2011carb jicama wraps paired with savory deli\u2011meat rolls<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On to the Jicama wraps. These are nice and crunchy, with a subtle flavor that’s sure to pass even a picky eater’s taste test. Here, you can use canned tuna\/chicken\/salmon, finely dice celery, pickles, & onion (if they’ll eat it), and Veganaise mayo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u200bCombine well. Fill the Jicama Wrap like a taco or burrito, and there you have it! You can also toss in a container of berries to boost their brain power.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

All of these options include the protein they need for growth and strength, the right kind of fats for their brain & body, and quality carbohydrates packed with nutrition to keep their immune systems at peak and provide them with energy. Stay tuned for more healthy kid-friendly suggestions.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
