That's a wrap! Wraps are a wonderful alternative if you're tired of eating salads. You can fill them with all the same delicious and nutritious toppings and take it on-the-go. Use this simple recipe as part of your go-to meal preps or as an option when you're short on time.
Wrap making 101
Making a macro-balanced wrap doesn't need to cost you a lot or take a lot of time. Similar to making semi-prepped salads, stores have pre-made salad kits you can utilize as the base for your wrap to customize to make a fully prepared meal. Additionally, there are now a variety of high fiber and protein tortilla options for you to boost both your fiber and protein intake.
Pick your salad kit base: There are so many options, the world is your oyster. This recipe utilizes a sweeter flavor profile, but you can choose any dressing or topping combination that you think sounds good.
Add in protein: Using your salad as a base, what protein do you think would go good with it? Shrimp, chicken, and tofu are easy to add into most recipes.
Enhance your wrap with some color: Aim to add in at least 2 additional fruits or veggies to your salad to boost the fiber content of your creation.
Top it off with a high fiber tortilla: Find an option with >3g fiber per serving or more (I found some with 18g of fiber! that's over half your recommended daily fiber intake).
Using semi-prepped ingredients opens up a world of options for building quick and healthy meals. Give it a try and see what other combinations you can come up with.
