I've been hesitant to share this idea for Ham, Cheese and Pickle Roll-Ups for two reasons. One, it uses 3 "products" you may not be able to find or like. And two, it's not that pretty, so I didn't know how to photograph it (as you can tell by the above four bland looking ham roll-ups).
However, I persuaded myself to share it for two reasons as well. One, the idea may inspire you to use other products or foods you can find or like. And two, when I did try to photograph it, I didn't think the pictures came out half bad.
Anyway, this has been my go-to snack all week. It's high-protein, fast, and surprisingly filling. Everything I needed for the crazy-busy week I've been having.
Speaking of, yesterday, was the end of week one striving hitting my macros again, and I'm down 2 pounds and an inch in my waist! It will always blow my mind how effective this is for me. I've been feeling fantastic. A little stressed (I have a lot going on) but fantastic.

- 4 Gherkin pickles

- Lay out the ham slices.4 slices sliced deli ham
- Split the cheese among the slices.2 Light Cheese triangles

Notes
- The nutritional info may vary depending on the ham you use.
- You could use cream cheese (I think that's more traditional) but I prefer the Laughing Cow style.
- I say "Laughing Cow style" because I use the Aldi brand a lot.
I make these once a week for my kid's lunch...they are in HS and said they get weird looks from their friends, but they love them too much to give them up!
I've been wrapping pickles in deli style turkey. I will have to try it with the cheese!
We like these with cream cheese and olives, rather than pickles. Thanks for the reminder!
sounds yummy and easy to me!!!!!!!!!!!!! lotsa protein too!!!
