Healthy Cooking: Rainbow Veggie Roll Up Recipe

Create a spiral “sandwich” with these Rainbow Veggie Roll Ups. This recipe can be a fun and different way to eat more veggies! 

Sandwich or Roll Up? Have you ever tried a roll up?  It is kind of like a sandwich but using a tortilla instead of bread. Create a spiral “sandwich” with these Rainbow Veggie Roll-ups. This recipe can be a fun and different way to eat more veggies! Vegetables are a great way to get the vitamins and minerals you need to power your body and brain throughout the day. Potassium, fiber, vitamin A, and vitamin C are a few of the nutrients you get when you fill your plate with fit foods. When you eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, you are choosing great fuel.

Tips:

  • Try adding other vegetables like tomato, onion, mushrooms, or summer squash
  • Instead of using cream cheese as a base, try hummus, Greek yogurt, or sun butter - the possibilities are endless!
