A traditional wrap can set you back 300 calories of white carbs in the tortilla alone! Thankfully, times have changed, and there is now a huge variety of wrap options that aren’t quite so sinful. Fill ‘em up with veggies and protein for a satisfying and wholesome lunch.
Ingredients
1 organic coconut wrap or 2 spring roll wrappers
2 Tbsp. hummus
2 Tbsp. avocado, mashed
2 oz. protein, such as chicken, fish, veggie burger or tofu (optional)
1 slice roasted red pepper
1/4 cup sliced beets, roasted
1/3 cup raw arugula or spinach
Balsamic glaze
Directions
- Dip wrap into warm water to moisten very briefly and shake off any excess water.
- Lay wrap on flat surface and layer with hummus, then avocado, red pepper, beets, protein and greens. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
- Close wrap by folding in left and right sides, then roll forward and bunch up ends. (Ends should stick together more easily from being moistened.)
- Repeat process for each wrap.
