Day 2 is all about making your own wraps. I was horrified to find that the Mission Brand Spinach Wraps don’t actually contain spinach! They have a ‘spinach and herb extract’, whatever that is….
So, how come they’re lovely and green? Why, blue and yellow food colouring of course! The dreaded E-numbers 102 (tartrazine) and 133 (brilliant blue) (banned in most European countries. Major causes of allergic reactions and behavioural problems in children.
So, the challenge was to make your own wraps, which I have done a few times myself. Now that I’m eating low carb, I didn’t make the wraps. What I would do, though is use my low carb pancake mix, based on the Almond Pancakes from Thermo Foodie and the Chef and add some spinach. I buy the BFree wraps when I don’t get around to making them myself.
This is a test recipe including spinach, so if you do try it, let me know how it goes!! When I do get around to making them, I’ll update and post a photo.
In the meantime, these are fabulous low carb wraps that use a variety of veggies: Keto Wraps
