Forget about food supplements or multivitamin tablets, eat your greens! They’re packed with antioxidants, minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium, manganese), dietary fibre, and nutrients such as Vitamins A, C, E and K (especially found leafy greens such as kale, spinach or lettuce).
The Spinach wrap is a cool and easy alternative to a regular wrap or even bread. You can see from the picture that I made it a little thick (it’s more of a pancake really), but you can make them thinner and smaller if you want to.
With this recipe, you’ll make 2 thick wraps and about 4 thinner ones. And for the record, it’s also full of protein thanks to the egg white (11 gr / egg white)!
Ingredients
Egg white, 2
Spinach, a big handful (the greener the better)
Buckwheat flour, 1 tablespoon (you could also use spelt flour)
Water, 1 tablespoon
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Add all the ingredients in a food processor and mix until smooth.
Heat some olive oil or coconut oil in a pan, and add a small ladle of the mixture. Cook for a few minutes until it gets a bit brown. Flip it over and do the same on the other side.
You can of course stuff it with whatever you like!
