Sushi Sandwiches

The new school year has begun and parents are sending their little ones off to day care, preschool or school with the healthiest of healthy packed lunches, hoping they will eat and enjoy all its yummy goodness. Finding the right balance of nutrients, flavour, fun and even some tasty treats is the key to ensuring your kids enjoy their school lunchbox and have the energy to learn, grow and of course play. Sushi sandwiches are a wonderful (simple) idea for when sandwiches become a tad ho-hum.

Nutrition Note: Sushi sandwiches are a creative and healthy way to get kids to eat their lunch and possibly even try some new and nutritious flavour combos.
