Lunchbox Wrap

Yeah, I know. Yet another wrap. What can I say? I'm on a roll (excuse the pun). 

I just keep thinking up new ideas like these green power lunch wraps. 

We all like a bit of variety in our lunches, but we all too often eat the same lunch over and over. It seems to have become my mission to change that with lots of new sandwiches and wraps. 

I'll keep them coming as long as I have new ideas and until you say stop!

Top 3 veggie lunch wraps

My top three and latest lunch wraps are my beet salad lunch wrap, in which I use sweet pickled baby beets for tang, my spicy bean lunch wraps which are a copycat vegan version of a Tesco one and my carrot and spinach crunch lunch wrap which is my husband's favourite.

Needless to say Cooper won't eat any of these. He'll eat my veggie chilli on a wrap with sour cream and grated cheddar or for lunch he will accept a wrap with cream cheese and falafel. That's it! No variety and nothing new. *sigh*

His sandwich choices are equally limited, he'll have a sandwich with peanut butter and jam, butter and jam or peanut butter and nutella. 

So sandwiches don't happen too often. I usually give him some crunchy veg, falafel and hummus, homemade soup or something pastry based with salad. You can look at some of my kids suggestions in my food guide - 10 vegan lunchbox ideas for kids.

Graham and I are a little more adventurous with our sandwiches.

Top 3 veggie sandwiches

Falafel features in two of our top sandwiches. 

The first is falafel and apple sandwich which has a nice tangy dressing,  a stacked falafel sandwich with lots of salad, sundried tomatoes and spread thickly with homemade dip and the third sandwich which features spiced roast tofu and veg with a creamy spread.

Green Power Lunch Wrap

Doesn't today's wrap look fresh and inviting?

I spread wheat and white flour tortillas with a really generous layer of cream cheese (I used Violife dairy-free cream cheese), added a generous pile of fresh baby spinach and fresh basil leaves.

I topped all that greenery with slices of creamy ripe avocado, cherry tomatoes and a drizzle of tangy sauce. It was really, really good. So fresh and tasty.

I do hope you try it soon and let me know what you think and do let me know if you would like me to share more sandwich and wrap ideas with you.

Nutrition and calories

This wrap has 317 calories, which is actually quite low for a wrap. If you want to cut the calories even further, add less cream cheese and add less or skip the sweet chilli sauce, but I say, go on enjoy it!.

This wrap is a good source of dietary fibre and provides you with 10% of your recommended daily amount of calcium, 16% iron and 12% potassium. 

Healthy and delicious!
