School Lunch Ideas: Pinwheel Sandwiches



Sick of the same old sandwiches?  Shake things up with a twist on the traditional lunch with pinwheel sandwiches!  Using a wrap of any kind, just spread on your filling of choice, roll it up, then slice into sections for easy eating.  Simple, delicious AND healthy!  Here are some suggestions for fillings:
  • hummus (alone or with veggies, cheeses, lettuce, etc)
  • nut butter, sun butter or soy butter with banana and/or jelly
  • chicken caesar salad
  • cream cheese with tomatoes, cucumbers and feta
  • tuna
  • bean dip and cheese
  • deli meat with cheese and avocado
  • cream cheese and avocado
  • cream cheese and smoked salmon
  • chicken salad
  • cream cheese with salsa and shredded cheese
There are endless options... be creative!  By coming up with a collection of different combinations that your child likes, you can offer up a fresh variety each day of the week.  Remember to include some fresh fruit and a healthy drink to complete the meal.  Eat A Rainbow!
