When you're craving a burrito or hoagie for lunch, but don't want to ruin your dinner, a healthy wrap is your answer. These ideas for make-at-home healthy wraps will save you from the next meal prep dilemma.
Viva Fiesta Turkey Wrap
Slow Cooker Balsamic Honey Chicken Vegetable Wrap
Collard Green Wraps with Tofu and Thai Peanut Sauce
Who says wraps have to be made with traditional tortillas? “Collard greens make for a nutrient-packed healthy wrap,” says Kara Lydon, R.D., author of Nourish Your Namaste. “They’re an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and folate, and a good source of calcium and fiber.”
Peanut Butter and Banana "Sushi"
These adorable “sushi” bites are wrapped up in a whole-grain tortilla. “They’re packed with protein and fiber while being vegan,” says Lauren Harris-Pincus, M.S., R.D., owner of Nutrition Starring YOU. “The powdered peanut butter keeps calories in check, and you can make the healthy wrap recipe in advance to grab and go for breakfast or lunch.”
Quickly Pickled Red Pepper Wraps
“These quick sandwiches make a tasty and balanced lunch option,” says Meg Salvia, M.S., R.D., blogger at Mostly Balanced. “They have a complex flavor, but the prep isn’t overly complicated. The healthy wraps provide a source of whole grains, and the hummus adds a bit of satisfying fat. Add chopped or shredded chicken to up the protein content if you’d like.”
Cranberry Chicken Salad Lettuce Roll-Up Sandwiches
“This healthy wrap is a great high-protein, low-carb lunch idea and the perfect way to use leftover cooked chicken,” says Anne Danahy, M.S., R.D., author of Craving Something Healthy. “I love the mix of savory flavors, along with the sweet and crunchy fruit, and the Greek yogurt is a healthier substitute for mayo.”
