Last week, I posted my recipe for Collard Wraps, a delicious and healthy portable lunch. But I have to admit ~ as much as I LOVE my greens (and I really do), sometimes I want something… fluffier. Bread-ier. More “traditional.” Carb-ish.
We’ve been staying away from wheat and flour around here, for various reasons, and I certainly feel excellent as a result. However! I do occasionally miss a sandwich or burrito.
Well, to my excitement, I discovered this recipe for super-easy wraps made with flaxseed meal, that are the perfect stand-in for a tortilla, pita, or bread. The recipe came from the book Wheat Belly (read my Goodreads review), a very interesting new title about the development of modern wheat and why it causes so many problems for so many people.
The wrap is fluffy, like a pita, but malleable, like a tortilla. So, if you want something less “green” but still super-healthy, you can follow my recipe for Collard Wraps but use these, instead! I’ve found these wraps to be an excellent alternative to any carb-o-licious, flour-based foods I might be craving. They are also delicious when spread with almond butter or cream cheese!
If you make these, I’d love to hear what you spread and/or filled them with, or if you tried an alternative recipe!
