Yummies in your Tummies

I have a confession to make. I was recently given the chance to try the new Lunch Slices by Vita-Weat. I said yes in the knowledge that my kids aren't big fans of anything grainy or seedy or vaguely healthy looking. That's actually WHY I said yes. Because I thought I'd get to gobble them all up myself. I'm a bit greedy like that.

As it turns out I was wrong. When my big girl saw me opening the pack of soy, linseed and sesame slices she was all over me. "They look like squished bread! You could make a sandwich out of them! You could squish them and make worms come out!" (yes, she knows that particular trick already).

Because I am a hungry greedy thoughtful Mum I pointed out the seeds to her. But she was not to be deterred. At that point the big boy wandered in so of course he needed a 'squished crunchy sandwich' too.

Lo and behold, despite the seeds and the evident healthiness they both really enjoyed them. So much so they wanted another. And one for school please. Because everybody knows that bread sandwiches are SO last term.

And so my plan to have a secret stash of noms for me (and the Supertrucker if he was lucky) failed but on the (very big) upside my kids are eating something that has seeds and wholegrains and ENJOYING it. Maybe the key is to try and put them off everything from now on and watch them flock to it?

Would you like a chance to reverse psychology your kids? Or to enjoy some delicious Lunch Slices all for yourself? I'm loving them open sandwich style with a smear of cranberry, a slice of roast turkey and brie. Oh yes. Yum.
