Egg Salad Pinwheel Wraps
Sometimes parents struggle with what to give kids for lunch at summer camp that’s quick, easy and healthy! Eggs are sometimes forgotten about when it comes to a great source of protein. From Canada’s Food Guide, eggs are a source of Meat & Alternatives and provide an excellent source of protein as well as many essential vitamins and minerals. Boil eggs in advance and have them ready to pack in camp lunches in the morning. Pinwheel wraps are always a great hit with kids as they are fun and easy to pack and prepare. When your child gets to camp in the morning ask the councillor to refrigerate your child’s lunch.
