Receta Clean Eating Low Carb Egg & Avocado Wrap
This new way of eating has been quite the adventure for me. I had forgotten all those little potholes that pop up when you are starting a new way of eating. I know many people out there can just switch gears, but it’s not always that simple for people. I know for me, breakfast has been a challenge.
If you read my blog with any regularity, you probably know that breakfast has always been my “problem meal”. Most low carb eaters enjoy bacon and eggs for breakfast every morning. That’s all well and good, but it can get boring. And me + food boredom = falling off the wagon pretty quickly. So I have to keep it interesting.
The nice thing about these wraps is that they are not specifically a breakfast food. You could have them for lunch or dinner as well. I just like to make a big batch of this stuff and keep it in the fridge. that way, all I have to do during the week is spoon some of the mix into pre-washed lettuce leaves and I’m out the door. It’s tasty and it’s fantastically easy. Even the prep on this is quick and simple. And I must say, they are surprisingly filling! But I find that a lot with low carb food. Like it or not, fat fills you up!
PROGRESS REPORT:
So far, I’m down 20 lbs, thanks to low carb clean eating. I lost more initially, but gained some back over the holidays. I just couldn’t say no to my mom’s brownies. So there you have it. At least I’m back on track!
Storage: This will keep for about 3-5 days in the fridge. This is not recommended for freezing.
