I had been planning on giving AJ more of the Waldorf chicken salad for his school lunch today. Luckily before I sent it I realized last time he took it it didn't have nuts. I added walnuts to it after I made his sandwich. His school has a no nut policy so I had to come up with something fast this morning. He ended up with a cream cheese and jam sandwich on a whole wheat bagel, grapes and a little salad. That was it, and he was thrilled! I would have liked a little more protein in there but it was the best I could do for the moment.
For breakfast this morning we had some great carrot smoothies. I used pureed steamed carrots (3 smallish ones) , pineapple juice, orange juice, plain yogurt (I discovered that the Trader Joe's brand organic is pretty good, no funny taste when you mix it into something), just a touch of honey and some ice.
They were really good and if I didn't know better I would have thought that the little bits of carrot were just pulp from fruit. We will be making them again for sure!
