avocado roll-ups (only 3 ingredients)

Last updated: October 2023

A no-cook lunch with only a few ingredients!

On days where I don’t have leftovers, don’t have a freezer stash to pull from, or just don’t have time (hard to come by), this simple and nutritious lunch is a staple for us! Ready in just minutes with zero cooking required AND it comes with an opportunity to sprinkle in some added nutrition with superseed boosters!

The hemp hearts I use in this recipe are an optional add, but are a favorite magical ingredient around here. The ones I use are from Tiny Sprouts and have some great nutrition like iron, zinc, magnesium, and omega 3! Code MYTODDLERSKITCHEN gets you 10% off your purchase on their site! I use their superseed boosters in several recipes and love them!


Check out my Instagram Reel for a visual on how I make this recipe in under 10 seconds (took me more like 5 minutes to make, but yay for editing haha).

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 pieces of sandwich bread

  • 1/2 mashed avocado

  • Sprinkle of Everything but the Bagel seasoning (see notes)

  • Sprinkle of Hemp Hearts (see notes)

DIRECTIONS

  • Flatten out bread with rolling pin (or press down with hands to flatten)

  • Mash half of an avocado in a separate small plate or bowl

  • Spread 1/4 mashed avocado on each piece of bread

  • Sprinkle Everything but the Bagel Seasoning and Hemp Hearts (I just do a pinch of each)

  • Roll tightly, then cut with a bread knife into smaller pieces (each sandwich bread should result in about 4 small rolls)

  • Serve immediately or pack in a cooled lunchbox to serve about 3 hours after packing!

NOTES

  • I find the Everything but the Bagel seasoning at my local Trader Joe's, but most U.S. grocery stores carry a similar version that will work. The flavor of that seasoning with avocado pairs together so well.

  • Hemp hearts are totally optional in this recipe, but are a fabulous easy way to sprinkle in some added nutrition. You can swap out for other superseed boosters or omit all together.

  • Any sandwich bread will work in this recipe. For best results, warm in microwave for about 10 seconds before rolling, which will result in the roll holding together a bit better.
