Good morning my nutrition sinners!
Maybe you noticed a little bit of a new look to my blogging casa? I updated my theme and added a new bio in my side bar ============>
Or maybe you didn’t. Either way I spent wayyy to many hours this weekend on sketchy wi-fi updating and it’s STILL a work in progress. #BloggerProbz4Dayzz
One thing that always seems to be part of a healthy habit or way of eating is to get more veggies. We all know it, some of us love them, some loathe them entirely. Either way, they still should be a good portion to every meal.
Especially greens. I mean, have you heard the saying, “Lean, green, cancer-fighting machine?!” …or something like that. These leafy superheros are packed with all you could ever dream of in a vegetable.
-Vitamins & Minerals
-Fiber
-Antioxidants
-Low in calories
…Besides that whole bitter-tasting thing. We all have our downfalls, right?
That’s where this low carb spinach wrap comes in. It may look green, but I can promise you it doesn’t taste it.
It’s also made with only 5 ingredients, or 6 if you wanna be technical and count water. Paleo-friendly, gluten-free, dairy-free, or just simple and delicious if you could care less how “free” it is. Let’s go to the stats, shall we?
Why I love these Low Carb Spinach Wraps:
- Serving of green veggies in each wrap. All about more veggies!
- Gluten-free and paleo-friendly, so everyone can enjoy!

I packed mine full of more veggies with cucumber, zucchini, and shredded carrots, and buffalo hummus, and made such a light but filling lunch.
You could even use it as a pizza crust, and get in some of your greens without even knowing it!
