California Wrap

Hey guys! I got this recipe from my sister Alyssa who makes this wrap for lunch almost every week! I like this recipe because it is very quick, cheap and DELICIOUS! It takes only about 3 minutes to make 1 wrap and all the ingredients can be bought for about 8 dollars. And that will get you about 8 wraps!

Ingredients : Sliced Turkey (or fresh from the deli), Hummus, Avocado, and a tomato with cheese for a side. 

It taste way too good to pass up. Especially when you're on the go and need a quick, filling treat. The hummus was a little spicy but the texture is very smooth. It gives it a little kick. The avocado is my favorite part, it balances out the hummus and turkey. 

This meal serves you up with high protein and vegetable intake!

Why should we eat these ingredients?

Avocados help lower cholesterol and have a lot of fiber!

Hummus is very rich in protein and so is the turkey

Tomatoes are full of antioxidants and lycopene which can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

The negative affects of this meal is the amount of calories. This is caused mostly from the hummus in the wrap. Those calories might not be a lot for a meal, but this snack sized wrap is very delicious and small, making it almost impossible to just have one without either making another, or cooking other food to go with it. 

I like to drink milk with this wrap to add protein, vitamin D, calcium and potassium to make sure i am getting almost all of the basic necessities we need to have on a daily basis. 

Diet coke tastes great with the wrap aswell but it will not be as beneficial and the milk!!!
