These Pinwheel Sandwich Kabobs are sure to light up your children’s face! I’ve taken a classic tea sandwich and reinvented it as a protein-packed easy roll-up that is fun to eat.
If your child has an allergy to peanuts or you are packing these for a school lunch then feel free to adapt the filling to a different type of nut or seed butter. Follow my recipes for a Chia Seed Jam and Peanut Butter Spread, unless you have your own.
When choosing your fruit selection, most fruits will work. I would personally avoid using bananas if you plan to pack and eat later because they turn quickly. If you are eating them right away, bananas are great! Here are some of Carrington’s favourite fruit pairings:
- Blueberries + Strawberries
- Kiwi + Mango
- Mixed Berries like Blackberries, Raspberries and Blueberries
- Blueberries + Mango
- Watermelon + Strawberries
- Pineapple + Watermelon
- Kiwi + Mango
- Bananas + Green Grapes
To create mini star shapes, I found a selection of vegetable cutters on Amazon.
To assemble your pinwheels, use a very sharp knife to gently cut into your pinwheel. A dull knife can smush the pinwheel! If you don’t have skewers at home, you can purchase skewers from Amazon, like these ones. Skewers make a beautiful presentation for older kids and adults. Before serving them to your young children, remember to take them off of the skewers or just snap off the pointy end.

These Pinwheel Sandwich Kabobs are sure to light up your children’s face! I’ve taken a classic tea sandwich and reinvented it as a protein-packed easy roll-up that is fun to eat.

- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 2 kabobs 1x

Ingredients
- 1 white or whole wheat wrap
-
3 tbsp of peanut butter protein spread (recipe here)
-
1-2 tbsp of chia seed jam (recipe here)
-
Fresh fruit such as blueberries, raspberries, mango, blackberries
Instructions
- Lay a wrap on your work surface and spread a thin layer of Protein Peanut Spread or other nut or seed butter. Repeat with chia seed jam. If you’re filling spread too thick it may squish out the side when cutting.
-
Beginning at one side, roll the wrap, up. Take care not to roll too tightly as the filling will be forced toward the outer edges.
-
Using a very sharp or serrated knife, cut the roll, up into 6 1-inch pinwheels.
-
Thread the pinwheels onto two wooden skewers, alternating with fruit.
-
Serve immediately keep cool with an ice pack in a lunch box. Pinwheels will keep, covered and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
