Easy Healthy Lunches

I know I've made a lot of posts about different meals lately, but it's something that has been on my mind a lot lately. I was thinking that its sometimes hard to come up with lunches that include vegetables so here are two of our mainstays:

ALT's

1/4 of a ripe avocado

a couple slices of tomato

a few lettuce leaves

mayo

These are seriously soo good! You won't even miss the bacon! I usually toast my bread and let it cool, then apply a thin layer of mayo to each piece of toast. Next cut your avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out 1/2 of 1 side of the avocado and put it on one of the pieces of toast. I use my spoon to roughly chop the avocado and then smash/smear it around on the bread. Then I put some tomato slices on the other slice of bread, top those with lettuce and then top the lettuce with the avocado toast. Dig in. 

PB Tortilla Wrap

1 tortilla, preferably whole wheat

1 knife full of peanut butter

1/4-1/2 of an apple cut into thin strips or diced

Handful of grated carrot

1 tablespoon granola or grape nuts, just some crunchy, healthy grain

1 tablespoon wheat germ, flax meal works well too

These are a little more involved, but they are great for kids and adults. They can be a little messy with the granola, but Jackson loves them and its a great way for me to sneak in some more vegetables. Plus its a nice change up from our usual peanut butter and jelly.

Spread a tortilla with a thin layer of peanut butter. Layer on the carrots, apple strips (make sure these are small or it won't roll), granola and wheat germ. I never measure, just throw on what looks right. Roll up and cut in half. Yum!
