My 6-year-old takes a class once a week at a local art studio. The class lasts three hours, and the kids all bring a snack to eat when they take a little break part way through class. The one caveat to this snack is that the art studio is a Nut-Free Zone (neither peanuts nor tree nuts are allowed), so many of our staples can’t be eaten in that space. My son usually takes some form of leftovers from earlier in the week with him, but sometimes we make him something new to take. This week he asked if he could bring Avocado Turkey Roll-Ups.

These are very simple to make, taste great, and provide a great healthy fat and protein combination. When we buy sliced turkey, we get it from the deli counter of our local health food store, where we can find deli meats without nitrates, nitrites, added gums or stabilizers. We can also find low-sugar and no-sugar options (sugar is in everything, even deli meat, so watch ingredients closely).

Here’s how we make our extremely simple Roll-Ups:
