as well as including a lot of garlic in meals at the moment to fight off lurgies, i'm also trying to include a lot of raw foods for the same reason. raw foods are also often high in fibre (that makes the food crunchy) which is lost when it is heated (which is why it goes soft when baked). and, being familiar with the texture of raw foods is something i'd like to maintain year round, instead of just in summer salads too.
so this is what we had one day this week
it's pretty self-explanatory but i used cream cheese (white bean spread or hummus would be yummier), spinach leaves, crushed pineapple, grated carrot and cheese.
and a bit of peanut butter in celery is always a treat isn't it?
the kids actually squealed and clapped their hands over this lunch!
(although i have fairly reliable evidence not everyone ate their raw spinach leaves!)
hope you've all had a lovely week. i have some exciting news to share and a few announcey-thingies to make so hopefully i'll find time to share it all SOON!

yum wraps are a favourite here too, but haven't used pineapple before. Sounds like a great addition.
ReplyDeleteDelicious! We've just had celery & peanut butter too..with raisins on top! super yummy!
ReplyDeleteYou lunches look so super yummy! (And if you ever feel like your cooking skills are too bad or the meals are not healthy enough, have a look at what pupils around the world (have to) eat for lunch: http://neverseconds.blogspot.com )

ReplyDeleteOh my stars I am 6 weeks pregnant and nothing sounds good right now even though I've constantly starving! This lunch sounds amazing though! I'm going grocery shopping as soon as my son wakes up and I will be picking up some cream cheese and tortillas!
