Some recipe ideas!

Avo and Chicken wrap

Mash an avocado with lemon juice, then spread on a whole wheat wrap. Top with strips of grilled/roast chicken, chopped tomatoes, and thinly sliced lettuce......and maybe a bit of cheese.
Roll up and wrap in parchment or wax paper to secure.

Turkey Salad Rolls

Combine diced smoked turkey/chicken, toasted almonds, halved seedless red grapes, thinly sliced celery and mayonnaise. Transfer to an airtight container; pack with a whole wheat hot dog bun for your talented kid to assemble. Or not

Wholewheat pancakes
Prepare a batch of whole wheat pancake batter, using about 1/2 the liquid. Stir in a cup thawed frozen corn, one small grated zucchini and a handful of Parmesan.
The zucchini will add moisture; add more liquid if the batter is too stiff. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pack with Greek yogurt for dipping.

Turkey-Cheese Pita Pockets

Spread a low-fat creamy cheese inside a whole wheat pita, then fill with roast turkey/chicken slices, baby spinach leaves and cucumber slices.

Barbecue Chicken Sloppy Joes

Toss chopped tomatoes and shredded rotisserie chicken and carrots with barbecue sauce and heat through. Toss the mixture with chopped cilantro or parsley and transfer to an airtight container. Pack with a whole wheat hamburger bun for assembly at lunch.

Chips and Dips

Combine chopped fresh tomatoes, lime juice, finely chopped white onion and chopped fresh cilantro. Pack flaxseed tortilla chips with small containers of the salsa, avocados mashed with lemon juice, and Greek yogurt.

 Waldorf Chicken Salad Sandwiches

Combine shredded rotisserie chicken, chopped apples and celery, walnuts, raisins, and mayonnaise. Spread the cut side of a split whole wheat hamburger bun with mayonnaise and assemble the sandwich using the chicken salad and butter lettuce leaves.
