This simple wrap isn’t just low in carbs, it’s also rich in essential nutrients
- Spinach: A powerhouse of vitamins and minerals, spinach is loaded with iron, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, and K. It’s also high in antioxidants and provides a good amount of dietary fiber.
- Eggs: Packed with high-quality protein, eggs are a great source of essential amino acids. They also contain important nutrients like choline, which supports brain health, and lutein and zeaxanthin, which are beneficial for eye health.
- Healthy Fats: Using olive oil or coconut oil adds healthy fats to the wrap, promoting satiety and providing essential fatty acids.
Delicious low carb spinach and egg wrap
Equipment
- Blender
- Skillet or Frying pan
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves packed
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the spinach leaves and eggs. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil or coconut oil.
- Pour about 1/2 cup of the spinach and egg mixture into the skillet, swirling it around to form a thin, even layer.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is set. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 2 wraps.
- Use the spinach and egg wraps as you would any other wrap. Fill them with your favorite keto-friendly fillings such as avocado, chicken, cheese, and low-carb vegetables. I filled mine with avocado, tomato, and sweet peppers.
Notes
- Ensure the skillet is well-heated and lightly greased to prevent sticking.
- These wraps are delicate, so flip them carefully to avoid tearing.
- You can store the wraps in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet before using. Freeze them for up 2 months, thaw and reheat before using.
- You can replace the coconut oil or olive oil with cooking spray that is suitable for your diet.
