Low carb wraps, the healthy snack

Low carb wraps enrich the diet of everyone who wants to eat only a few carbohydrates or who hope to lose weight as a result.

Basically, low carb recipes like these low carb wraps are about consuming fewer carbohydrates, as these are generally decried as “fattening foods” and instead protein meals are supposed to be the way to your dream weight.

A meal or snack like these low carb wraps, which does not contain any carbohydrates and consists mainly of protein, does not lead to an interruption in fat burning until much later due to the delayed release of insulin.

If you avoid carbohydrates through low carb, you can give your body more time to burn fat.

How do you make low carb wraps?

Basically, wraps are a kind of rolled sandwich in which various ingredients and sauces are spread out on a flatbread and then rolled up.

The flatbread itself is usually the largest source of carbohydrates, which is why bread is out of the question for low carb wraps. Instead, you can use the following sheets:

• Lettuce
• Cabbage
• Swiss chard

Make sure the sheets are pliable and don’t break when you roll them. Cabbage leaves can be quite stubborn.

However, you can roll it over with a rolling pin so that the thick leaf veins are soft enough not to break when rolled up. Blanching also helps.

Ingredients for the filling

When choosing the ingredients for the filling for your low carb wraps, you should make sure that they are also low carb. So various delicious ideas such as corn, peas or beans are omitted. Carrots are also high in carbohydrates, which is why you should avoid them in the filling.

To turn the low carb wraps into a real low carb meal, the filling should contain lean protein. That could be:

• Tuna without oil

• Lean ground beef / tartare
• fish fillet
• Chicken or turkey fillet
• Lean beef or pork
• Lean cream cheese
• Quark
• egg

Make sure that the protein-containing ingredients are low in fat, in order to make the low carb wrap healthy and not turn it into an unhealthy snack with too many animal fats – despite low carb.

Sauces

Every wrap has a sauce, but not every sauce makes sense in a low carb wrap. Many ready-made sauces, for example ketchup, curry sauce or many salad dressings, contain more sugar than you think. And sugar is an absolute no-go when it comes to low carb!

Since tomato paste is also rich in carbohydrates, pay attention to low-fat dairy products, from which you can conjure up a sauce or cream that you can use to season the filling of the wrap and combine it with one another. A cream cheese cream or yogurt sauce would be conceivable, but Zaziki is also a delicious variant.
