Garlic and Herb Turkey Wrap

Looking for a low calorie idea for lunch? I love making wraps, especially with the whole wheat low carb tortillas I have found. They are only 80 calories a piece and sugar free; where as some breads for sandwiches can be 100+ calories per slice, especially the "wheat" ones, you think you are making a good decision in choosing the wheat bread, but normally they have a ton of sugar in them, so keep that in mind when buying sandwich bread. My favorite sandwich bread is Sara Lee's 45 Calories and Delightful multigrain bread. Only 45 calories a slice and 2 grams of sugar!

Anyway, here's what I made today:

Garlic and Herb Turkey Wrap: 215 calories

1 La Banderita whole wheat low carb tortilla: 80 cals
1 wedge Laughing Cow garlic and herb cheese: 35 cals
1 serving (6 slices) Oscar Meyer mesquite deli turkey: 50 cals
1/8 cup Atheno's crumbled feta cheese: 45 cals
1 romaine lettuce leaf: 5 cals

Drink with a big glass of water and pair with baby carrots and hummus, pineapple and cottage cheese or a small apple and greek yogurt.

baby carrots (about 8): 35 cals
2 TBPS Sabra spinach and artichoke hummus: 70 cals

OR

2 slices canned Dole pineapple: 60 cals
1/2 cup Breakstone low fat 2% cottage cheese: 90 cals

OR

1 small apple: 55 cals
6 oz The Greek Gods nonfat plain greek yogurt: 60cals
2 tsp Sue Bee honey: 40cals

mix honey into greek yogurt for added sweetness and flavor

All these options paired with the wrap are under 375 calories!
They also make great snacks throughout the day!

Hope you enjoy some of my low calorie, healthy and still yummy ideas!
