Get your sweet and savory fix with these peanut butter apple wraps; it's a tasty combination of fresh ingredients and a healthy school lunch idea. 

If your kids enjoy peanut butter and apples for snacks, this delicious wrap is a healthy 5-minute lunch to pack in the lunchbox- let me show you how!

Peanut Butter Wraps with Apples & Carrots

The peanut butter and apple combo is hard to beat and even better on a delicious tortilla. The best part? You get to sneak some veggies into this healthy school lunch wrap! 

The carrots add a nice crunch and a little extra sweetness, and the flax is a healthy addition! An optional “cherry on top” would be some grain-free vanilla granola– it adds another level of crunch and flavor. 

You can use a nut-free butter alternative if your child goes to a nut-free school. I have tested several, and soy butter is the winner for being almost identical to peanut butter in taste and texture. 

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to roll up one of these wraps: 

  • Tortillas: flour tortillas work best since they’re pliable. 
  • Peanut butter: use creamy or crunchy. 
  • Chopped apple: any variety of apples works here! 
  • Carrot: shredded is the only way to go. 
  • Flaxseed: optional but adds a DELICIOUS texture and healthy fats.

How to Pack Peanut Butter Apple Wraps for Lunch

Now, let me show you how to assemble and pack these PB and apple wraps in the for lunch at school: 

  1. Assemble
    Spread the peanut butter over the tortilla, top with the rest of the ingredients, and wrap tightly before cutting it in half. 
  2. Pack it right
    Pack the wraps in a compartmentalized lunch container separately from other ingredients and snacks to keep the wraps from getting soggy or disheveled. 
  3. Prepare for transport
    Add your choice of side items to the empty compartments. Close the lunchbox and place it in a lunch bag with an ice pack.  

Watch how it’s made in this short YouTube video.

Keep This Lunch Wrap Fresh for School

Follow these additional tips for packing this wrap properly so it remain fresh until lunch:

Use a sturdy container
Packing this wrap in a firm container is the best way to keep it from being flattened in the lunch bag. Save zip bags for something else.

Wait to slice it in half
Cut this wrap in half right before packing it for school in the lunch bag to help keep the filling inside, and stop the wrap from getting soggy. It also help slow down the apple’s browning process.

Keep it fresh
Pack the wraps and sides of your choice in the lunch bag with an ice pack to keep everything fresh until it is time to eat.
