Do you struggle to find quick and healthy snacks for your toddler? I try to make a conscious effort to offer a variety of healthy (and tasty) snacks for my toddlers, but it can often be hard to find ones that they will actually eat. They are both quite picky eaters so coming up with new ideas is certainly a challenge.
This week Mission Foods provided us with some of their new Chia Wraps and Red Quinoa Wraps, and they have been a huge hit.
The ways we have been enjoying them are:
Toasted with hummus or avocado
Ingredients
- Chia or Red Quinoa Wraps
- Olive Oil (I prefer to use an olive oil spray)
- Mixed herbs
- Hummus (I buy mine ready made) or avocado
Method:
- Spray the wraps with olive oil
- Sprinkle on mixed herbs to taste
- Grill until crispy
- Cut into small pieces and serve with hummus or avocado
ham, cheese & corn Quesadillas
Ingredients
- Chia or Red Quinoa Wraps
- sliced ham
- Grated cheese of your choice
- Canned corn - drained
Method
- Place all ingredients onto half of the wrap
- Fold the wrap in half
- Toast under a sandwich press until golden
Ham, cheese & pineapple mini pizzas
I let my kids help me make these ones and they love it!
Ingredients
- Chia or Red Quinoa Wraps
- Tomato Paste
- Sliced Ham
- Grated Cheese
- Tinned pineapple pieces
Method:
- Spread tomato paste evenly over the wrap
- Add sliced ham and pineapple
- Cover with cheese
- Grill until the cheese is melted
My kids have loved all of these recipes, particularly the toasted wraps, and I love that they are nice and healthy. The Mission Foods Mission wraps contain no artificial colours or preservatives and are a great source of fibre too.

These are certainly a new spin on wraps. Love the hummus.

I'd never thought to make a pizza on a wrap before, that's so smart. And I love the addition of corn to the quesadillas. Also, thank you for the hummus recipe -- I've been looking for a kid-friendly version.

My kids love it when I make ham and cheese quesadillas! I haven't tried it toasted with hummus... I will try that one of these days :)
