I am not sure how my family would survive without avocados.

I can always count on avocados as a quick, healthy way to feed my kids.

As babies and toddlers, avocados were staples in their diets. Both my kids loved to devour slices of avocados and I was so grateful that they were eating a food packed with healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, nutrients and protein.

And now as my children get a bit older, I still keep avocados as a regular in all of our diets. I especially love to add them to wraps. We eat all kinds of salad wraps, quesadillas, etc. and avocados are perfect for all of them!

Here is a quick wrap idea to feed your kids (or you!)

Avocado and Dried Cranberry Wrap

Ingredients

Flour Wraps - I use whole wheat, multigrain or high fibre white

Sliced or Diced Avocados

Light Cream Cheese

Dried Cranberries

Directions

Spread cream cheese on wraps and arrange avocado slices

Top with dried cranberries

Wrap!

Now, how easy was that? Enjoy!
