Healthy Turkey Hummus Spinach Wrap

Spinach Wrap

For busy days, I love making this healthy turkey hummus spinach wrap. I make it really quick in the morning and bring it with me to school when I have a long day. They don’t take long to make and they are a really satisfying lunch. I never feel too full after eating them like I do sometimes when I buy takeout at school. The spicy red pepper hummus gives them a little kick.  I used a low fat, thinly sliced cheese, but you can leave it out for an even healthier wrap! For the turkey, I used Boar’s Head Ovengold® Roasted Breast of Turkey. Boar’s Head certified heart-healthy deli meats are great, because if you have ever looked at the nutrition information on deli meats at the grocery store, a lot of them are very high in sodium. High sodium intake has been linked to high blood pressure, which can eventually lead to heart disease and other end organ damage if left untreated. When I shop for deli meats, it is important to me to find some that are low in sodium and saturated fat. A diet low in sodium and saturated and trans fats is important for your heart health! As you probably know, I love sweets, so my biggest challenge is keeping my butter consumption at a minimum. Diet and nutrition are huge in preventing heart disease, the leading cause of death in men and women in the US. It is also important to get 30 minutes of exercise a day, and after my half marathon I have been slacking a little. I always need to remind myself that even a brisk walk for 30 minutes outside is better than sitting all day! Taking care of your heart by eating well is one of the most important things you can do.

    OO! I have been trying to make wraps for lunch this week, too.. Where did you buy the spinach tortillas? I couldn’t find any last weekend…

      They are hard to find! I bought them at Safeway in the Tortilla section, but my next mission is to make them myself (we will see how that turns out, ha!!)

    These wraps were delicious and made for a quick and easy lunch. I did not use spicy red pepper hummus. Instead, I used roasted red pepper hummus, which is one of my favorites, and I also used Ole Xtreme high fiber low carb spinach & herbs tortilla wraps. SO YUMMY!
