A special school lunch item for our kids are Cucumber Avocado Rolls. The SEASAME SEEDS have more nutritional value than one might give them credit for. The AVOCADOS, CUCUMBERS and the SEAWEED also give this meal more nutritional substance. If you can get your child to also eat the GINGER, then you pack even more of a health and flavor punch to this meal.
I would recommend requesting BROWN RICE instead of the white rice, if available and replacing the soy sauce with
You can order these to go at a Japanese Sushi restaurant or we purchased these at Whole Foods.
We send 4 rolls per meal with blueberries, grapes and oranges. We also add romaine lettuce leaves for something more to munch on.
What exactly are Liquid Amino's?
ReplyDeleteWe use it instead of Soy Sauce for the lower sodium content. But we also use Organic Nama Shoyu ~ which is the only soy sauce that's aged for four years in cedar kegs by a unique double-brew process, so it can be made with less salt naturally, while still retaining its full-bodied flavor and delicate bouquet. Nama Shoyu is also unpasteurized (read: the only raw soy sauce available in North America); it's full of health-giving live enzymes and beneficial organisms like lactobacillus.
ReplyDeleteBragg Liquid Aminos are made from health-giving, NON-GMO soybeans and purified water. They are an excellent, healthy, gourmet replacement for Tamari and Soy Sauce. Not fermented or heated and Gluten-Free.
Bragg's has a small amount of naturally occurring sodium. No table salt is added. If less sodium is desired use a 6 oz. Bragg's spray bottle and dilute with 1/3 distilled water or to taste and then either add in or spray on food.
Both are excellent substitutes for dipping or cooking!
