Wraps !!

IzzyBooNZ1

Hi there, just looking for some ideas for wraps - I am not very imaginative. I have only just started making these for lunch, turkey slices, tomato, red onion, laughing cow lite cheese, cold hard boiled egg.

I do not like tuna, iceberg lettuce, raisins/sultanas

Would love to hear your wraps!

( I make my wraps the night before, then add the tomato while at work so it doesn't get soggy)

Last week I had deli turkey, muenster cheese, romaine and mustard and another day I made a wrap with egg salad and romaine. I was out of tomatoes. I use the Flat Out whole grain with flax wraps and love them.

I've been doing 3 oz of plain grilled chicken, 1 tsp of mustard, 1/4 of a roasted bell pepper (in a container), and a handful of spinach or spring mix for crunch. I've even swapped out the mustard for hummus or homemade guac. (avacado, chopped onion, lime juice, salt & pepper) and it's great. I put this on a La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Low Carb High Fiber tortilla to keep down on cals (50 cals a wrap).

love the flatout wraps. Light Italian for me. I make mine with hummus, feta cheese, baby spinach and either ham or turkey. I'll also use a spinach dip, tomato and the deli meat.

Izzy, stay away from Iceberg lettuce anyway. Spinach is soooo much more better nutrient-wise anyway.

My typical wrap consists of items that I always have on hand. Here is an example:

--LaTortilla shell(s) - low carb, whole wheat, high fiber and come in different flavors. Only 50 cals per shell.
--Base: usually Athenos Hummus but I also play with different vinaigrettes (raspberry, lime, etc)
--Greens: spinach, always
--Meat: turkey from the deli, sometimes ham from the deli. Grilled chicken works, as does cooking some Jenni-O Extra Lean Turkey on the stove.
--Veggie: favorites are bell peppers (orange, yellow, red, green) and mushrooms. Sometimes red onions or regular onions... tomatoes are always delish to add too!

Typically leave off any cheese but if I know I'll get a good burn that day will add in some low-fat feta or crumbled blue cheese.




Here are some other recipes I have saved

I like chicken tikka masala and mint chutney, It can be low calorie if you make some substitutions.
