Vegetable Cream Cheese Roll Ups
These vegetable cream cheese roll ups are full of crisp vegetables, flavorful herbs, and smooth cream cheese. They make a great lunch or snack! Cream cheese roll ups are one of my favorite snacks or appetizers to make and they also are fantastic for lunchboxes. I typically make them with tortillas like I did with my classic pickle rollups, southwestern cream cheese tortilla roll ups and my pizza tortilla pinwheels, but this time I reached for Flatout. It’s super soft and pliable but still strong. It’s the perfect vessel for any healthy sandwich or wrap, or these fun cream cheese roll ups. And it will keep those kiddos extra full! In these cream cheese rollups, I use cucumber (make sure to remove the seeds), red bell pepper, shredded carrots, and broccoli.
You can customize the vegetables you use in these cream cheese roll-ups; use whatever you have on hand. If you’re making them for kids’ lunchboxes, use what they like the best! The only thing to be careful about is the moisture content of the vegetable–you wouldn’t want to use a super wet vegetable like tomatoes. As it is, these roll ups are best eaten the same day, unlike other cream cheese roll ups that are even better the next day. I find that these tend to become just a little soggy the next day. They still taste great but they’re just not quite as pretty.
