Thin bagels are perfect for smaller appetites and are easier to eat as part of a sandwich. Make a complete lunch or breakfast meal by pairing this sandwich with baby carrots or orange sections and a cup of low-fat milk to meet over half of most kids' daily calcium needs. Ingredients:
1/4 cup (2 ounces) tub-style light cream cheese |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil |
1 teaspoon dijon mustard |
4 whole-wheat thin bagels, lightly toasted |
4 ounces low-fat deli ham |
