Flatout low carb8/5/2023 Cool and refreshing lunch to pack for work, and super easy! Normally I would spread hummus on my wraps, but since the wrap is already hummus flavored I decided to go with something that complimented the flavors well. I love hummus, so I went with the Red Pepper Hummus wrap last and spread it with a Laughing Cow Creamy Swiss wedge, slices of cucumber and sprinkled my favorite seasoning of the moment from Trader Joes, 21 Seasoning Salute. ![]() Simple, easy and delicious!įinally, I saved the best for last. I paired it with a side of grapes, and Pretzel Crisps and I had a complete lunch. Then I layered that into my wrap with tomato, avocado and mozzarella cheese, and pressed it down on both sides in a skillet until browned on both sides. I brushed some balsamic vinegar on eggplant and yellow squash, and seasoned with a pinch of sea salt & oregano, and set it under the broiler for 8-10 minutes (flipping half-way through). I used it to make a vegetarian panini for lunch. The next one I tried was the Sea Salt & Crushed Black Pepper. The wraps are a decent size too – no skimpy meal here! And for the first time, I was completely satisfied after each of these meals! I did not add any extra protein to any of these dishes besides the cheese (which was very little). I was craving Mexican the other night, so I made Mozzarella & Spinach Quesadillas, and topped them with sour cream. I also used them one night to make a savory dish. I made a sweet wrap, using mixed greens, strawberries, goat cheese, and a red wine vinaigrette. I tried the Core12 out first, which is basically a plain/original flavor. Plus, there are so many things you can do with them – sweet or savory! I love wraps more opposed to sandwiches because they are so easy and convenient to fold up and take to-go. Which is another reason why I don’t eat cold cereal (I can eat one bowl after another of that crack!).įlatout sent me one of each flavor to try – Core12 (Original), Red Pepper Hummus, and Sea Salt & Crushed Black Pepper.Įach wrap has 130 calories, 2 grams Fat, 17-18 grams Carb, and 12 grams of Protein! Plus 8-10 grams of Fiber! That is why I love to eat a ton of vegetables, fruits, beans, legumes and my favorite – oatmeal. Don’t get me wrong, I do love my carbs but they don’t satisfy me as much as I’d like them to. ![]() I always find that whenever I eat sandwiches or wraps, I would become hungry again within an hour or less. The real test was whether or not these would keep me satisfied. I have tried quite a few of Flatout’s products in the past and they were all great, so I had high expectations for these. When I heard that Flatout came out with a new ProteinUP version of their wraps, I knew I had to try them out for myself. However, I’m always looking for new ways to get some source of protein. At lunch, I mainly have salads or sandwiches, in which I will incorporate nuts, beans or legumes, cheese, hummus, etc. ![]() At breakfast, I might add egg whites or Greek yogurt into my oatmeal. In each and every one of my meals, I try to incorporate some source of protein. As a vegetarian, I always try to incorporate enough protein into my diet.
