Chef Notes
Get the kids involved in making their own sandwiches by allowing them to choose their favorite vegetable fillings and assembling the ingredients themselves. It can be a fun and interactive activity.
To save time, you can pre-slice the vegetables and fruits the night before and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Enjoy this delightful and balanced vegan schooltime meal that kids will love!
