A delicious and healthy lunch idea for kids. Wholemeal sandwiches filled with strawberries and cream cheese!
When it comes to sandwiches my kids will literally eat the same thing time and time again… it’s either cheese or ham and that’s it! So in an attempt to liven up their taste buds with some new flavours I’ve been trying lots of different sandwich combinations recently. And our new family favourite is this Strawberry Cream Cheese Sandwich!
I absolutely love the taste of strawberries and cream cheese together but I have to admit I was a little unsure if this would work in a sandwich. How wrong was I… it tastes incredible! The strawberries give a lovely sweetness to the sandwich without being overpowering and balances out really nicely with the slight sharpness of the cream cheese. So delicious!

How much soft cheese is recommended for toddlers during a week…as i find once you open container it has to be used in 5 days..wasting food an issue.

Hi, I’m not sure where abouts in the world you are but here in the UK you can buy those mini pots of philidelphia cream cheese which would solve that problem!
