Easy Assembly Instructions
- 1
Choose Your Base
Decide if you're making a wrap or a bowl. For a wrap, lay your whole wheat or low-carb tortilla flat. For a bowl, prepare a generous base of mixed greens or your favorite salad lettuce in a bowl.
- 2
Layer on Lean Meats
Stack on your chosen lean deli meats. Don't be shy – ask for or add extra portions to maximize protein. Aim for a good variety if you like.
- 3
Load Up the Veggies
Pile on as many fresh, crunchy vegetables as you like. Lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, bell peppers, and pickles are great choices. The more veggies, the more nutrients and fiber!
- 4
Add Flavor (Smartly)
Skip the high-fat mayonnaise and oily dressings. Opt for mustard (yellow, Dijon, or spicy brown) or a light, vinegar-based dressing. A splash of red wine vinegar or balsamic can also add great flavor.
- 5
Assemble and Enjoy
If making a wrap, carefully roll it up, burrito-style. If it's a bowl, give it a light toss if you added dressing. Enjoy your delicious, high-protein, low-carb meal immediately or pack it for an on-the-go lunch!
