6-a-Day Smoothie: Back to School with Watercress.

Bin the soggy sandwiches and get creative with these wonderful watercress recipes for kids’ lunchboxes. Not only are they simple and speedy to prepare, but they are also packed with essential vitamins and minerals which will give your little ones a much-needed boost throughout the school day.

Did you see the first recipe in the set? Healthy Kids’ Bento Box: Back to School with Watercress and now I am sharing a 6-a-Day Smoothie recipe. Back to School with Watercress.

How To Make A 6-a-Day Smoothie:

Prep time: 30 minutes
Makes 4

Ingredients:

• Layer one: 200g frozen raspberries
• Layer two: 200g frozen mango
• Layer three: 200g frozen pineapple
• Layer four: 1 x 85g bag watercress plus 100g frozen pineapple
• Layer five: 200g frozen mixed berries
• Layer six: 200g diced beetroot, frozen
• 300g-500g Greek yoghurt
• Water
• Fruit and cocktail sticks to garnish

Method:

1. Set up a high speed blender or smoothie maker. You will need 6 bowls or Tupperware containers, one for each layer of the smoothie. The fruit needs to be frozen so that the blended mixture is firm enough to allow for nice clear layers, if the smoothie mixtures are too runny then they it will be difficult to layer them up in the glass effectively.
2. Place your frozen raspberries into the blender and add a good spoonful of Greek yoghurt along with a splash of water. Blend on high power until smooth, adding a touch more yoghurt and water if necessary. Pour into a bowl and keep chilled until needed. Wash the bowl of your blender thoroughly before moving on to the next layer.
3. Repeat with the ingredients for the other layers, ensuring that the blender is cleaned between each layer. Once you have all your fruit blended up and in separate containers then you are ready to build your smoothie.
4. Take four highball glasses and get your bowls of smoothie mixture ready. Use a spoon to carefully layer up the different smoothie flavours in your glasses in any order you like, making sure you clean the spoon between each different flavour so that the colours stay nice and bright. Take four cocktail sticks and thread them with some small pieces of fruit to create little kebabs, then place them on top of each glass. Serve your smoothies immediately with a brightly coloured smoothie straw.

Healthy Kids’ Bento Box: Back to School with Watercress.

Bin the soggy sandwiches and get creative with these wonderful watercress recipes for kids’ lunchboxes. Not only are they simple and speedy to prepare, but they are also packed with essential vitamins and minerals which will give your little ones a much-needed boost throughout the school day.
It can be a challenge thinking of new and exciting fillings for packed lunches, especially when your children’s favourite foods might not always be the healthiest of options. These yummy watercress recipes will help you to plan tasty, healthy lunches, that are easy to transport and which your kids will love.

Watercress is one of the original superfoods and contains over 50 essential vitamins and minerals; in fact, gram for gram watercress contains more Vitamin C than oranges, more folate than banana, more Vitamin E than broccoli and more calcium than milk. It also contains high levels of iron. This is especially important as more of our youngsters, especially teens, choose to adopt plant-based diets which generally have low iron content.

Kids will love this cute Japanese-inspired packed lunch that’s both nutritious and colourful!

Prep time: 20 minutes
Makes one lunch box

Ingredients:

• 2 inch length of cucumber
• Small handful cherry tomatoes
• 100g cooked sliced chicken breast
• 1 tbsp teriyaki sauce
• Handful watercress
• 2 tbsp mixed nuts and seeds
• Small handful grapes, cut in half
• 3 strawberries, quartered
• 50g sushi rice, cooked according to packet instructions
• 1 tsp sushi vinegar
• 1 sheet nori seaweed

Equipment Needed:

• 1 x panda rice mould with nori cutter (or any preferred other shape, available online)
• 1 x bento box (or use Tupperware)
• Star or heart shaped cutter

Method:

1. Take your rice mould and dip the main part of the mould in cold water to help prevent the rice from sticking. Pack the mould full of cooked sushi rice, making double sure that any small, detailed sections such as the ears are well packed. Take the press and dip this in cold water before using to press the rice firmly into the mould, ensuring the rice is packed tightly so that it keeps its shape once turned out. If you do not have a mould you can simply shape the rice into firm balls using wet hands.
2. Carefully turn the panda shaped rice out of the mould. Take your nori sheet and use the cutter to punch shapes out of it. Use your fingers to carefully position the pieces of nori onto the rice so that it resembles the face of a panda. Refrigerate until needed, up to 24 hours before using.
3. Slice your cucumber into half centimetre thick round. Take your star or heart shaped cutter and cut a shape from each cucumber round. Take your sliced cooked chicken and toss in the teriyaki sauce until well coated.
4. Finally assemble your bento box by placing the panda rice, chicken, watercress, cucumber, tomatoes and fruit into the box in a neat and tidy arrangement.

Chorizo, Cheese and Watercress Toastie Anyone? Tasty!!
How To Make Chorizo, Cheese and Watercress Toastie:

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 x 85g bag watercress
• 8 slices sourdough bread, not too thick
• 3 tbsp salted butter, softened
• 200g gruyére, sliced
• 200g sharp Cheddar, sliced
• 200g cooking chorizo
• ½ a red onion, finely sliced
• Olive oil

Method:

1. Thickly slice the chorizo at an angle. Place a large frying pan over a high heat and add in a small splash of olive oil. Pan-fry the chorizo, turning frequently with tongs to prevent burning. After frying for a few minutes remove from the heat and drain the chorizo slices on kitchen paper.
2. Take your slices of bread and butter on one side. The buttered side must remain on the outside when you build your sandwiches, this will create a lovely crunchy crust.
3. Fill your sandwiches with the chorizo, cheese slices, red onion, and watercress, splitting the ingredients evenly between the four sandwiches.
4. Place a clean, dry frying pan on a medium heat. Place your sandwiches carefully into the pan and cook for around four minutes on each side, using a spatula to press down and ensure the cheese melts. Manage the heat carefully so that the outside doesn’t burn.
5. Remove the sandwiches from the pan and serve immediately with some more watercress on the side.
6. So, take a well-deserved break and enjoy a leisurely brunch full of nutritious watercress.
