Adult Lunchables Recipe

Ingredients

Wraps

  • Wraps:
  • Any type of wrap you prefer (whole wheat, spinach, tomato basil, or regular flour tortillas work well)
  • I suggest using 8-inch wraps for an ideal size that fits well in a lunchbox.
  • Fillings:
  • Chive and Onion Cream Cheese Spread:
    • 4 tablespoons of chive and onion cream cheese
    • Alternatively, you can mix 1 tablespoon of chopped chives and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder into regular cream cheese for a homemade version.
  • Ham Wrap:
    • 4 slices of deli ham (Black Forest ham preferred)
    • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild, according to preference)
  • Turkey Wrap:
    • 4 slices of deli turkey
    • 4 slices of pepper jack cheese
    • 4 tablespoons of veggie cream cheese (store-bought or homemade)

Yogurt

  • Vanilla Greek Yogurt Mixture:
  • 1 cup Two Good Vanilla Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 teaspoon organic cinnamon
  • Granola (your choice, for topping at lunchtime to keep it crunchy)
    • I recommend using your favorite granola blend for added texture and flavor.

Snack

  • Pretzels:
  • Snyder’s Pretzel Rounds with Sea Salt (1/2 cup or a small handful)

Lunchbox Assembly

  1. Organize Your Lunchbox:

  • When you’re ready to eat, add the granola to the yogurt just before you enjoy it to maintain its crunch.
  • Savor your wraps, yogurt, and pretzels throughout the day for a satisfying and delicious meal.
