WRAP ROLLUPS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n These rollups are quick and easy to make and can be served with slices of apple and cubes of cheese for a delicious finger food supper. We used Squish 100% Pear + Sweet Potato Puree, <\/strong>but you could choose any of the Squish flavours for variety \u2013 try Apple, Beetroot + Guava, Butternut + Carrot <\/strong>or Summer Berries. Squish 100% Fruit and Veg Purees<\/strong> are the perfect solution for busy parents, they\u2019re made with quality fruit and veg and contain no colourants, preservatives, flavourants or added sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 4 wraps<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 x 110ml Squish 100% Pear + Sweet Potato Puree <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3 Tbsp cream cheese <\/p>\n\n\n\n Method<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Smear each wrap with cream cheese and a generous layer of Squish 100% Pear + Sweet Potato Puree<\/strong>.
