With school just in a week or so it’s that time again to come up with healthy quick lunches kids would love to put in their lunch boxes! Not only that we all deal with the dilemma of healthy eating for kids. They can be picky and it’s a hit or miss half the time and let’s face it gluten loaded lunches can drag our kids down.
With the new cookbook Stealth Health Lunches Kids Love: Irresistible and Nutritious Gluten-Free Sandwiches, Wraps and Other Easy Eat, by Tracy Griffith you can take the guest work out of this hassle and make some nutritious and amazing lunches your child is guaranteed to love. Recipes in the book are all gluten free and unique aiming purely to be healthy and get the kids energized which is a mega help during school hours. Not only are they healthy but they are fun, delighting kids with plenty of variety to choose from.
Right away the cookbook is filled with really easy recipes. All of which can be made fast, are kid friendly this means mostly that not only are they eye catching, but in small portions that pertain to kids. There are different parts to the book, which include the sandwich area, rolls, pita pockets, rolls. gems wraps and buns. You have sidekicks or nibbles ( snacks) dips and spread as well as a section on how to cook perfect sushi rice. Rice is used in more than half of the recipe which also use what is called Gem Wraps. An all-natural wrap made from fruit and vegetable puree. Side note they are not good as a standalone they are meant to eat using the recipes in the cookbook in chapter four. Trust me on this.
The wraps are thin, easy to use and fold up nicely. There are directions on how to properly roll them. I didn’t dive into the rice section but made a simple chicken salad roll up. Using a basil spread, cut tomatoes, fresh spinach and peppers along with chicken it became a wonderful lunch my kids requested for school time. I really like the taste, it made the other ingredients pop and it came together nicely. All four of my kids approved the wraps and asked for more, so this was a total win.
The recipes are fun, healthy and very simple. Only a few require items you may not find in your pantry but you can easily adapt the recipes. I really enjoyed trying the new foods and ideas throughout the book, mainly the snack time “ nibbles” it gave us a fresh new look at what after school snacks could be instead of the same old. You can pick up your own copy of Stealth Health Lunches Kids Love at any book retailer.
