Lettuce Wraps

Lettuce Wraps

These wraps are fun to mix and match. You’ll never run out of options! Start with a green leaf lettuce, collard green or Romaine lettuce leaf. Choose from the following:

  • Protein source: sautéed veggies, mixed bean salad, grilled tofu or tempeh
  • Spread: natural hummus, Dijon mustard, home-made pesto or fresh pesto (may contain gluten or milk products – check the label)
  • Additional toppings: 1/4 ripe avocado, 1/2 tomato, grape tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, green onions, sprouts, and any other seasonal veggies

Let’s Talk Nutrition:

Plant-based proteins like grilled tofu, tempeh, and mixed bean salad have fewer saturated fats than animal proteins. Plant-based proteins reduce heart disease risk and improve weight management.

  • Healthy Spreads: Instead of mayonnaise or high-fat dressings, hummus, Dijon mustard, and pesto add flavor without calories. Protein and fiber in hummus make it a filling and nutritious spread.
  • Fresh toppings: Avocado, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, green onions, and sprouts provide vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. These colorful toppings support immune function and heart health with their nutrients.
