A simple, quick and tasty lunch – save your lunch money for something more interesting, and bring your own from home! I was buying something like this from the cafe every day and I thought to myself… hang on…if I bought myself some wraps….
This takes about five minutes to prepare, is healthy, low in carbohydrates, and the soft tuna is offset by the delicious crunch of the pecans. Both tuna and avocado are high in Omega-3 which helps you boost the good fats in your bloodstream. Choose Tuna that is stored in olive oil or spring water (rather than nondescript vegetable oil) and drain prior to using.
Look for wholewheat or rye wraps which don’t contain added salt or sugar. Those we used were just flour and water – and have a low carbohydrate content per serve (because they are quite thin). With the protein in the tuna and the nuts, this sandwich was filling and delicious.
