healthy easy sandwich spread image
Olivia : )
I usually bring water( I don't like any other drinks), a sandwich, and and a snack, and normally it comes to around 250-300 calories. Does anyone know any more exciting meals that I can take to school?
Answer
•Wraps made with whole wheat tortillas, containing either lean cold cuts or lowfat cream cheese topped with veggie slices. Even the classic PB and J (peanut butter & jelly) is healthier in a wheat wrap.
•Single portion-sized cups of unsweetened apple sauce or fruit without added sugar.
•Trail mix made with cereals, nuts, pretzels, dried fruit or raisins, and a few chocolate morsels.
•Low fat cheese spread on whole wheat crackers.
•Individual serving-sized packages of low fat yogurt, cottage cheese, or yogurt smoothies.
•Baby carrots, celery sticks, or apple slices with dips made from yogurt or low fat sour cream.
•Mini-burritos made with rice and black beans or refried beans in a tortilla with tomato salsa. These can be heated or eaten cold.
•Baked chips or pretzels are a better choice than high-fat potato chips or cheese snacks.
•Drinks made from water with a splash of cranberry, peach, grape, or other fruit juice are healthier than sodas. Excess consumption of pure sugar-laden juices can increase the risk of obesity.
•Whole grain bagels topped with cream cheese-vegetable spread.
•Air-popped popcorn flavored with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
•Low fat cheese cubes and seedless grapes make a delicious side dish for sandwiches or wraps.
•Cold strips of grilled chicken with honey mustard dip.
•Dried cranberries or cherries are a sweet alternative for kids bored with raisins.
•Quesadilla slices made with cheese and chicken or vegetables
