Refried Roll-Ups


This Week's Bento Lunch

Refried Roll-ups

Loved by both adults and children, this nutrient-rich lunch is fresh and delicious. Blueberries are in abundance this time of year, and they add balance to the orange, white, red, and green of the surrounding colors. Notice the variety of textures as well: crunchy jicama, juicy blueberries, crisp spinach, and creamy yams. It's got the word satisfying written all over it!

No Sweets Challenge

Last week, we challenged ourselves to cut the sweets out of our diets. We seemed to have been stuck in a sweets rut with cookies and muffins often popping up in the office kitchen. Some office members even felt like they were addicted to the sugar they used as their afternoon pick me up, so it was good to take a break and take stock of what we were putting into our bodies.

The good news is that we made it through the week feeling great and enjoyed having fresh fruit waiting for us to snack on in the office. With all the fresh fruits available this time of year, it really wasn't too difficult to turn to watermelon and cantaloupe instead of cupcakes and brownies. For many, it was even a welcome relief!

The bad news is that the salt water taffy that showed up last week has been opened and is making its way around the office as we speak! It's all about baby steps, right?
