A Nutrient-Packed Meal for Your Busy Lifestyle
Today at Rx Health and Wellness, we’re excited to share a recipe that’s ideal for those hectic days when you need a quick yet nutritious meal – the Turkey and Avocado Wrap. This wrap is not only high in protein and healthy fats but also delicious and convenient for on-the-go eating.
Why Turkey and Avocado? Turkey is an excellent source of lean protein, which is vital for muscle maintenance and overall health. It’s also rich in B vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin, which are essential for energy production. Avocado, on the other hand, is a superfood loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and various important nutrients. Together, they create a wrap that’s both satisfying and incredibly nutritious.
Recipe: Turkey and Avocado Wrap Ingredients:
- Whole wheat wraps or tortillas
- Sliced turkey breast (preferably low-sodium, nitrate-free)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- Mixed greens or lettuce
- Optional additions: tomato slices, cucumber, mustard, or a sprinkle of cheese
Instructions:
- Lay out a whole wheat wrap on a flat surface.
- Place a generous amount of sliced turkey on the wrap.
- Add a layer of sliced avocado.
- Top with mixed greens or lettuce. Add tomato slices, cucumber, or your preferred additions.
- If desired, add a light spread of mustard or a sprinkle of cheese for extra flavor.
- Carefully roll the wrap, tucking in the edges to hold the filling.
- Cut in half and enjoy!
Health Benefits:
- Lean Protein: Turkey is a great source of lean protein, essential for muscle health and energy.
- Healthy Fats: Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats, which are beneficial for heart health.
- Fiber: Both whole wheat wraps and avocados contain fiber, aiding in digestion and maintaining a feeling of fullness.
