Kids in the Kitchen! No, these aren’t candy wraps you see, they are veggies! Colorful, dreamy and oh-so-delicious. Did I mention that these veggies are super fun too? Well they are.

Veggie Rainbow Wraps
makes 2 mini wraps, vegan
1 whole wheat wrap (lavash wrap)
3 tablespoon vegan cream cheese
2 cups chopped veggies, rainbow colors
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt (optional)
dash or pepper (optional)
Directions:
1) Slice your large wrap into two smaller rectangle pieces.
2) Spread 1 ½ tablespoon of vegan cream cheese on each wrap.
3) Sprinkle a bit of salt and/or pepper on the cheese (optional). Set aside.
4) Chop all your veggies into small flat cubes, about the size of a large raisin. Place in a large bowl or arrange by color on a plate.
5) Spritz veggies with lemon juice to preserve colors and prevent oxidation.
6) Set up the workspace and instruct the kids on what to do-build a rainbow out of the veggies.
7) Before rolling the wrap, you can spread the veggies around a bit if needed. Roll up! (Adults may need to do this part.)
8) Eating time! Slice the wrap into 5 small spirals. Time to munch your rainbow rolls.
9) Garnish with leftover veggies.
