Health Benefits of the Low-Carb Veggie Wrap
1. Blood Sugar Stability:
Using a low-carb tortilla helps minimize the spike in blood sugar that often follows traditional high-carb wraps or sandwiches. Combined with fiber-rich vegetables and healthy fats from avocado and hummus, this wrap slows glucose absorption, helping to maintain more stable energy and reduce cravings throughout the day.
2. Heart-Healthy Fats:
Avocado and hummus (especially if made with olive oil or tahini) provide a dose of monounsaturated fats, which are known to support cardiovascular health by improving cholesterol levels and reducing inflammation.
3. Gut-Friendly Fiber:
The variety of raw vegetables in this wrap—bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, and leafy greens—contributes a good amount of dietary fiber. Fiber promotes digestive regularity, supports a healthy gut microbiome, and helps reduce cholesterol levels.
4. Rich in Antioxidants:
Vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, and carrots contain antioxidants, including vitamins A and C. These help protect cells from oxidative stress, support immune health, and maintain healthy skin and vision.
5. Low in Processed Ingredients:
By focusing on whole, minimally processed ingredients, this wrap reduces the intake of refined sugars and unhealthy additives, supporting overall wellness and reducing the burden on your digestive and metabolic systems.
6. Customizable for Protein and Satiety:
While this wrap is vegetarian as written, it can easily be adapted to include lean protein sources like grilled chicken or tuna, making it even more satiating and suitable for post-workout recovery or a balanced lunch.
Wash and dry all fresh veggies. Slice the cucumber, bell pepper, and carrots thinly. Mash the avocado in a small bowl with a pinch of salt (and a squeeze of lemon if desired for freshness).
Warm the low-carb tortilla in a skillet over low heat for 10–15 seconds on each side. This helps make the wrap more pliable and easier to roll.
Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate. Spread the hummus (or cream cheese) evenly across the center, leaving a small border around the edge. Then, layer the mashed avocado on top.
Add spinach or arugula first for structure. Then layer the cucumber, bell pepper, carrots (if using), and shredded cheese (if using) evenly over the base.
Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, pepper, and everything bagel seasoning or other favorite spices for added flavor.
Fold in the sides slightly, then tightly roll from the bottom up to form a burrito-style wrap.
Slice the wrap diagonally in half. Serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil/parchment paper for an on-the-go meal.
