Grilled Spinach Onion and Green Bell Pepper Sandwich

Grilled Sandwiches are a great after school snacks. You can always make it wholesome and tasty with veggies and little dash of cheese into it.
It is perfect for the tired kids and to get boosted up for the rest of the day. It is important to Encourage kids to eat wholesome, whole wheat bread, or even multi grain bread and with lots of veggies(of course the right combination), I would say this is one of the best way. Junking once in a while is very much fine, But everyday routine should always have a balance nutrients like, carbs , protein and fibre.
 The grilled sandwiches are best had hot, so perfect for a after school snack.
