• You can swap the bread slices for bread roll or a wrap (wholemeal or wholegrain options if available). If your child will only eat white bread, try to choose a variety with added fibre.
• Use any type of lettuce leaves or salad leaves, for example rocket, cos lettuce, iceberg, baby spinach leaves.
• If making for school, place the sandwich in an air-tight container or wrap with cling wrap or foil to keep the sandwich fresh.
• Don’t forget to add a frozen drink bottle or ice brick to keep the food cool and safe.
