Quick picnic lunch. With sprouted bread.

The school days are over. The summer vacation is here. Time for picnics!

picnic with kids - what to pack?

What to pack for picnic with kids?
Sandwiches are easy and quick alternative for picnic. They are easy to plan, to make and to eat. To make a tasty and healthy sandwich, be sure to select best quality ingredients. Choose nitrates free meats (ask to read an ingredients list at the deli counter), natural cheeses, good quality bread. Serve with fresh and cooked vegetables and fruit.

I like to use Ezekiel 4:9 100% sprouted whole grain bread to make sandwiches. Bread made with sprouted grains has complete protein and low glycemic index. The bread is soft and delicious.

We went to do strawberry picking today. I have packed sandwiches with roasted turkey, avocado and other vegetables I had on hand. Cucumbers, tomatoes, cooked beets, red peppers, olives, steamed broccoli and local radishes (those are for me, the kids try them from time to time, but radishes are still too spicy to their palates). Pack in insulated lunch bag with ice to ensure food safety. More on lunch packing gear is here.

We were covered for snack - plenty of juicy, fresh, red, sun filled strawberries. Straight from the field at Drumlin Farm in Lincoln, MA. Yum!
