An easy lunch idea for kids - a wrap filled with carrot, courgette and cheese. Super tasty and nutritious too.
I'll be honest and say this recipe was a massive test. I really didn't think my kids would like it but I was willing to give it a try. Sometimes they really surprise me!
If your kids like those supermarket cheese and onion sandwiches then definitely give this a go as it tastes very similar. And it's packed with veggies so that's a win.
Ingredients
You just need six ingredients to make this. I know it might seem strange to put raw veggies into a wrap but once you grate them and squeeze out the water they will soften into the grated cheese and cream cheese mixture.
If your child is not a fan of chives you can leave this out or swap for spring onion too.
How To Make Veggie Cheese Wrap
The full recipe with all the ingredients and measurements is towards the bottom of this blog post but I've also included some step by step photos here that might be helpful.
- Finely grate the carrot and courgette then squeeze to remove the water from the veggies.
- Add the grated veg to a bowl with the cream cheese, grated cheese and chives.
- Mix well.
- Spread the mixture all over the wrap.
Cut the wrap into two or four mini wraps.
This recipe is super filling. For older kids it will make one portion but for younger children it will serve two.
And it's ready to pack into lunchboxes to send to school or just enjoy for a quick lunch at home.

Storing
Any leftover mixture can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for 24 hours. The veggies might release a little more water but just give it a mix before using and it will be perfect.
