The Happy Wrap – from “Slimming Meals That Heal”



Happy Wraps

These extraordinary wraps are perfect fast food when on the run. A great new product to hit the market recently is a wrap made from coconut meat. This gluten-free substitute is a great alternative to wheat- or corn-based tortillas. And the best part is that coconut contains medium-chain triglycerides, a type of fat that likes to be burned as energy! If you can’t find coconut wraps, nori sheets or other gluten-free wraps make a lovely substitute.
