Turkey Avocado Wrap Snack
I decided to use this recipe because I have been looking for a cheap, easy, and quick snack and I love avocados. Also, my original diet was also high in sugar and carbohydrates, and so I was particularly looking for a snack/ meal that was low in carbs and sugars, but that also had a high nutrition density concerning vitamins and other minerals. For the most part, when I did the nutrition tracking, I found I was specifically low in vitamin B6, fiber, vitamin C and Iron. I do not like red meats very much, so I am somewhat low in iron. However, I remember reading that broccoli, spinach and soybeans are high in iron. So I modified this recipe and added some spinach to the wrap. Also, to accommodate for the vitamin C deficiency, I added orange slices and broccoli (for iron) as a side. I thought the meal was very quick and easy which I liked. Surprisingly, it was actually very tasteful due to the lime. The health benefits is that the meal is extremely low in sugars and carbs, however because it is so low in carbs it wouldn’t be a good fit for someone very active. The wrap is very high in many vitamins and has protein due to the turkey. Due to the avocado, the wrap is high in monounsaturated fats which are very good for cardiovascular health. I will definitely make the meal again because of how cheap, quick and simple it is.
I enjoyed this recipe because I enjoy avocado in the base of many of my meals and its a healthy fat to contribute. Its very simple for those like me who are on the go between school and work. This recipe took me about a couple minutes to make giving me the time to enjoy it. -Casey Waite
ReplyDeleteI chose this specific recipe because I loved how simple and basic it was. It was a smaller treat yet filled me up. The two ingredients are healthy and hearty and give you a good boost of energy. The turkey is a good source of protein and some cholesterol and the avocado has a lot of health benefits, like; fiber and fat content. It is great for a quick and easy snack!
ReplyDeleteThe taste was wonderful, a lot of it depends on the turkey seasoning and if you put salt and pepper on the avocado but it was really yummy. Health benefits are great as well as the easiness of the recipe. I have already made this recipie multiple times and will probably continue to do so!
