Cream Cheese and Cucumber Pinwheels
My homemade gluten-free pinwheels with cream cheese and cucumber are a delicious and wholesome lunchbox-friendly recipe. The pinwheels are made from nourishing and natural ingredients as an alternative to store-bought wraps. These pinwheels are light and fluffy and can be filled with a variety of nourishing fillings and spreads that kids will love. For this recipe, I have used cream cheese and cucumber to keep it simple and easy but still filled with the nutrients kids need to thrive.
