Snacks, snacks, who has the snacks?

Wow! Is it that time of year again? Back to school time is in the air!!!

When I think of Back to School, I think of SNACKS! After school snacks, lunch time snacks, etc. But what about us adults? Snacks are important to us as well. This weeks focus will be on Snack ideas, recipes and Snack make overs.

If you have a favorite snack, please post it! If you have a Snack recipe that you would like to have 'made over' or Rescued, please post it and I'll refigure it to be more healthy.

One of my favorite 'snack' Go To items is below. You can change up the fillings with anything you have on hand (leftovers, seasonal veggies, etc.)

IT'S A WRAP!

• 1 Lettuce Leaf (any type of lettuce leaf) (we're using this instead of a tortilla wrap)
• Tomato (Cherry, grape or just sliced tomato)
• Sliced cucumber
• Fat Free Ranch OR you can also spread Fat Free Cream Cheese over the lettuce leaf
• Lean turkey or ham slice
• Fresh Veggies (Green, red or yellow peppers/Scallions (Green onions), sprouts, etc.)

Spread the FF cream cheese OR FF Ranch dressing over the lettuce leaf.
Lay Cucumber, fresh veggies over the Cream Cheese/Dressing. Add cucumbers, tomatoes and lean turkey/ham.

Voila!!! You have a healthy snack that also incorporates your daily veggies! You can assemble these ahead of time and wrap in wax paper and refrigerate. This makes for quick, easy, accessible healthy snacks for not only you, but also your family!

Until next time!!!
