i have been eating wraps at school this week. i have been trying to make sure they are healthy, which i guess i made some good choices since i did lose two pounds this week!
i always start with a whole wheat wrap (not sure why, but i have found that whole grain wraps actually have less fiber than whole wheat). sometimes i spread hummus, fat free sour cream, or plain yogurt on it, sometimes i just leave them plain. i have been stuffing them with a variety of items including: baby spinach, spring salad greens, portabella mushrooms, low-fat turkey or chicken from the deli, etc. i have also found that flavor is added with different seasonings, which help to make them super yummy too!
the sky is the limit as to what you can wrap...depending on what kind of food you love, you can always do it in a wrap. love mexican food? think cold tacos. slather on some sour cream, bean dip, or salsa. sprinkle in some meat (or not), cheese, spring salad, black olives, diced tomatoes, onions and avocados...wallah! pure yumminess! you can basically take any kind of ethnic food you love and modify it to make it healthy and wrap it up to take it with you for lunch. to add some healthy sides, just add some cut up veggies in a baggy to munch on, a piece of fruit, and maybe a few almonds (flavored, or not).
as i come up with new wrap ideas, i will share them and let you know what new combos i have come up with!
