This is the ultimate clean veggie wrap. Collard Greens are a great swap for wraps that can sometimes be filled with gluten and other additives. Collard Greens are a great source of a vitamin B1, vitamin B6 and iron. They are also a good source of vitamin E, copper, protein, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin B5, folate, omega-3 fatty acids, niacin, vitamin K, Vitamin C and potassium. Next time you are making a wrap try this one out. I also provided a link below from Mind Body Green on how to blanche them before wrapping them to soften them up a bit.
Ingredients:
· 2 Collard Wraps –Blanched (http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-14961/better-than-tortillas-blanch-collard-greens-to-use-as-wraps.html
· ½ Avocado
· Squeeze of Lemon
· Cucumber Strips
· Zucchini Strips
· Carrot Strips
· Sprouts
After blanching the Collards lay them on a flat surface and spread the smashed avocado with lemon across the leaves. Cut veggies to appropriate sizes and spread across the two leaves.
You can add in any veggie you like! I added in the Baked Pea Falafels from yesterday’s post to add some bulk. There are endless possibilities. After putting in all desired ingredients simply wrap them up and cut in half and enjoy!
