Here’s a great healthy eating lunch idea for when you need a change from sandwiches, salads and wraps.
Making your own rice paper rolls might sound difficult, but it’s actually lots of fun and pretty easy once you get going.
The papers themselves are available in the Asian section at most supermarkets, or from Asian delis or supermarkets, often near the noodles.
Stuff your rolls with whatever healthy salads, meats, herbs and spices that you have on hand.
You could add things like coriander, grilled haloumi, cooked prawns, mint leaves, bean sprouts – anything goes!
Today we have kept to a classic chicken, avocado and salad combo, which we topped off with a spicy satay dipping sauce (sauce not pictured).
If you are not afraid of a bit of mess, you could even lay out all the fillings and let everyone prepare their own rolls. Healthy eating can be lots of fun!
If you are feeling adventurous, why not try making our fruit filled rice paper rolls – recipe here.

Tawhai Duffy – lost 46kg*
“I am so glad and grateful I found Lose Baby Weight and the 28 Day Challenges.
I knew I needed to lose weight but needed some help, especially because my partner and I were getting married in 9 months and I didn’t want to look the way I did in our photos.
My life has changed so much in the last 14 months. I lost 46kgs in 11 months and I have been maintaining my weight since.
You won’t regret it!
