Healthy Breakfast Series - Lauki/ Bottle Gourd Wraps and Lettuce Cream Soup

Its a resolution for this year that I should make a completely balanced and healthy breakfast for my hubby to kick start the day and am experimenting on few Healthy Breakie Combos. In that series, today it is Lauki Wrap in my Wonder Wrap Series which I made both Sweet and Savory Versions and Lettuce Cream Soup.

Lauki/Bottle Gourd is a Vitamin C and Antioxidant Rich Veggie and it has lot of water content in it. It hydrates the body and a best remedy for Urinary Infections during Summer season. Also it helps in Weight loss and help in digestion. Being a Zero Cholesterol Veggie it helps in preventing Heart Ailments. Including this veggie in a Wrap with Paneer is a best way for making kids to eat this veggie. I made the sweet version with Iron Rich Gulkhand (Made of Rose Petals and Jaggery / Honey).

Lettuce is a well known Low calorie green leafy vegetable which is why it is included in diet by Weight Watchers. Mostly taken as Salad. It is rich in Omega 3 Fatty Acids and Protein Content. It also has lot of Vitamin C and Beta Carotene and is good for healthy heart.

Here I have given a easy Soup recipe with lettuce which can be made in less than 10 minutes and it is a fulfilling one for the breakfast.

Wonder Wraps - Peas Olive Wrap

In my Wonder Wrap Series, its an interesting combo of Garden Fresh Peas and Luscious Olives. A best way to include fresh peas during the season..and with the Olives and Cheese, it becomes a wholesome and tasty wrap for kids.

Peas are very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium.They are very good source of Protein, Vitamin A, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Phosphorus and Copper, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Thiamin and Manganese.

My son just loved this combo...

Wonder Wrap Series I

Having a fuzzy eating kid at home is what make moms tensed up in early mornings..Getting them to eat their breakfast and giving them a healthy and palatable lunch box is always challenging..For my son who is a fuzzy eater too, I found Wraps are the best way to make him eat all veggies and its almost 6 years by now..his lunch box is mostly Wraps.. My Wonder-wrap Series are the time tested ones with my Son and are obviously approved by him by showing his empty lunch boxes and in fact he gives many ideas now a days on fillings...I have a good number in this series for which I shall start sharing the recipes in the form of a table..as the method of wrapping remains the same except for the filling and wrap base.

Here comes my first set of recipes...

1. Choco Almond Wrap - Completely Power Packed and Yummilicious Wrap with the goodness of almonds and Kids Favorite Choco Syrup drizzled generously

2. Spicy Ridge Gourd Wrap - Wraps are the best way to include Desi Veggies into our Kid's Lunch Box..and this spicy filling with a dash of Oregano is truly a tempting one

3. Cabbage Olives Saucy Wrap - Cabbage and Olives with a dash of Oregano is an exotic blend with tomato ketchup to get the tanginess

The Recipe Table is here...

I will keep updating other recipes as similar sets :) Happy Wrapping :) Would love to hear your feed backs and see your wraps too :)
