Here is a handy list of suggestions for what to fill a tortilla wrap with. I love having a generously filled wrap for lunch as they are super convenient (protein, carbs, and veg in one), quick to make, and easy to grab and go.
Also to keep the wrap as healthy as possible, try to use wholemeal or 50/50 tortillas rather than white ones so you get more fibre.

10 Healthy Wrap fillings

1. Hummus, rocket, red pepper, and feta cheese

2. Chickpea, cous cous, Harissa dressing, and salad leaves

3. Chicken /or lentil dahl, mint yoghurt dressing, baby spinach, and fresh coriander leaves

4. Red onion, goats cheese, and baby spinach

5. Turkey bacon, iceberg lettuce, and tomato

6. Chicken, sliced olives, cous cous, lettuce, and a mint yoghurt dressing

7. Smoked salmon, cucumber, low-fat cream cheese, and freshly ground black pepper

8. Feta cheese, fresh basil, tomatoes and black olives (add salad leaves too)

9. Red peppers, grated carrot, hummus, and watercress

10. Pre-cooked bean chilli, spinach and natural yoghurt. Fancy bean chilli but don’t have a recipe? No problem! I have one from one of my earlier blog posts here.
I hope there was something there that sounds great to you. Have a food-tastic day! ;)

(P.S This is actually a repost from my original blog but I feel it is worth sharing as it's a great little list to have to hand when wondering what to have for lunch!)

 Hello!
Welcome to my new blog where you will find posts with healthy recipes and tips. This blog is a continuation of my original food blog (which you can view here). I have neglected to post a new blog post in quite a while so as it is a new year I felt it would be nice to start afresh. I will post the same type of posts as I did previously with a continued focus on healthy eating, recipes, and meal ideas.
I have some new recipes created and written already so I will start posting them in the very near future. I also have some great new meal ideas and plans. Until I start posting, though, you can follow my visual food diary on Instagram. I also post quite a bit on Twitter and sometimes on Facebook.
   
Have a great day, Helen x
