At the end of a long week, why not try something new, by making lunch out of a little bit of whatever’s in the fridge? We love to combine things like Mamnoon dips, Fresh Prep Veggie Sticks, Deli Meat Slices, Pre-cut Fruit, Pretzels or Crackers and Cheese Slices (choose your own faves.)
And that’s a wrap on easy, healthy kids’ lunches for the week. But speaking of wraps, our veggie-and-hummus filled Rainbow Collard Wraps paired with your favorite dipping sauce make a super-healthy lunch, dinner, or happy hour snack for the weekend!
