Children (7-12yrs Old) Recipe

Prepare tortillas

Lay two whole wheat tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Spread 1/4 cup of softened cream cheese evenly over each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the edge.

Assemble fillings

On each tortilla, layer 4 slices of turkey evenly across the center. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar over the turkey. Distribute half the baby spinach and half the shredded carrot across each tortilla so vegetables are in a single layer.

Roll and slice

Starting at one edge, tuck and roll each tortilla tightly into a log. Use a sharp knife to slice each log into 4 pinwheels (about 1-inch pieces). Place roll-ups on a plate seam-side down to hold shape.

Make the dip

In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir until smooth.

Prepare apples

Core and slice 2 medium apples into thin wedges. To prevent browning, toss the slices with 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice immediately after cutting. Arrange apple slices on a plate next to the yogurt dip.

Prep veggies

If baby carrots are large, halve them lengthwise. Peel the small cucumber if desired and cut into sticks approximately 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.

Plate with hummus

Place 1/2 cup hummus in a small dipping bowl and arrange the carrot and cucumber sticks around it.

Assemble parfait

In a small cup, spoon 1/4 cup of the prepared yogurt dip, add 1/4 cup fresh berries, and top with 2 tablespoons granola. Serve immediately so granola stays crunchy.

Lightly season the turkey roll-up pinwheels with a pinch of salt and a tiny grind of black pepper if desired. Check portions and arrange all components on a child-friendly plate: 4 turkey pinwheels, a small bowl of yogurt apple dip with apple slices, veggie sticks with hummus, and the optional mini parfait for dessert.
