Double Blueberry Bagel Sandwich


This is a favorite in our house. So much so that my kids asked for it for breakfast when they saw me making it for lunch. I warned them that it was for lunch but they were perfectly fine having it for both. With blueberries being ridiculously healthy, why not have blueberries two meals in a row, right???

Double Blueberry Bagel Sandwich
  • Bagel (I use Bagel Thins, 110 calories)
  • Cream Cheese (I used whipped)
  • Blueberry fruit spread (I use all fruit, sweetened with fruit juice)
  • Fresh blueberries
Spread cream cheese on one bagel half, the blueberry spread on the other. Dot the cream cheese side with fresh blueberries and put the two together and you have your Double Blueberry Bagel Sandwich.

***To make this a Triple Blueberry Bagel Sandwich, use blueberry cream cheese.
**** Quadruple? Use a blueberry bagel! Yum!

Crunchy Fruit and Nut Roll Up


Here is another lunch box winner according to my toughest critics. There are lot of health benefits packed into this roll up. I made one of these for my high schooler using Flat Out bread (because I had just one left over) and I used two small fajita sized tortilla's for my children in middle and elementary school. 


Fruit and Nut Roll Up

  • Flat Out or fajita sized tortilla's
  • Nut Butter (I used peanut butter, will use almond butter next time)
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, softened (I used light)
  • strawberry (about 2)
  • banana (about half)
  • 1 T fruit spread (I used Black Cherry Pollaner's All Fruit)
  • toasted sliced almonds
  • 1 tsp. Fiber One cereal
Whip nut butter and softened cream cheese together. Spread on wrap. Add sliced strawberries and banana. Microwave fruit spread until it's just the right consistency for drizzling. Drizzle over roll up. Add almonds and cereal. Roll up.
