Convenient Form Factors
The joys of finger food cannot be outmatched, especially for kids. Here are some healthy hand-held recipes you can prep ahead of time and serve for several days.
Wonderful Wraps
With just a few ingredients and a simple assembly-line preparation style, wraps are one of the best foods to make in advance and serve throughout the week.
To make your wonderful wraps, take a stack of whole-wheat wraps, lay out your ingredients on the counter, add the ingredients one by one, and wrap them all to perfection! They store easily in reusable containers, and your family can grab and snack on these wraps at any time of day.
To make healthy wraps, stick with whole-food ingredients that add protein, nutrition, and plenty of fresh flavor. A turkey or tuna wrap is a classic with avocado, shallot, lemon, and crisp greens.
You can also make this dish more gourmet using sheet pan chicken breast, salmon, or roasted veggie wraps. These flavors are fantastic after a day or two in the fridge and can convert to sandwiches wonderfully.
Tasty Pizza Pies
There’s nothing quite like pizza fresh out of the oven, but cold pizza has its own charms. It’s convenient to pack a few slices of pizza in tin foil for a lunch box alongside fresh fruit or a side salad. The fragrant flavors of garlic and onion pair perfectly with the gooey cheese and any veggies that you include.
Plus, our beautiful and healthy pizza recipes are quite the departure from the heavy, greasy chain-restaurant pizza you might be familiar with in the States – did we mention they are easy to make as well?
