Is the Veggie Filled Rainbow Wrap the Perfect After School Snack?

We’ve all been there.

Kids get home.

They are starving.

You want to give them something healthy and filling, but feeling a little uninspired and tired.

What to do?

There’s only one answer:

RAINBOW WRAP!!

Make the most of seasonal produce with this easy (and kid-approved) after school snack - the Rainbow Wrap!

Chef Asata Reid, author of How to Feed a Kid, created the Rainbow Wrap Recipe to help parents feed their kids more fruits and veggies.

Switch it up with whatever colorful veggies you have on hand. Bonus: You can precut the veggies so kids can help or make it on their own! (And honestly, this is a great Sunday afternoon prep activity to make this recipe actually fast.)

How to Choose Your Rainbow-lishes Ingredients

That’s a word, right? When choosing the veggie filling, prompt children think about flavor, texture, color and sweet memories!

  • Apples for sweetness

  • Radishes for spice

  • Cucumbers for refreshment

  • Tomatoes for tanginess

  • Snap peas and carrots for crunch

  • Cut up mint, parsley or cilantro for extra shazam!
