21. Classic Tuna Salad:
Traditional tuna salad is full of mayonnaise and fat. To make it skinny, we cut out some of that mayo and used plain, nonfat Greek yogurt instead! It saves on fat and calories but still gives you that creamy texture you crave with tuna salad. Try it on a cracker, by itself or on a whole-wheat, high fiber wrap. Even better, try wrapping it in a lettuce wrap! Half a cup of our tasty tuna salad comes to only 85 calories, 1 gram of fat and 2 WWP+. Click here to find out how to make it.
22. Baked Falafel Wrap with Spiced Tzatzki:
Ready to experience falafel like you never have before? Falafel is a traditional Middle Eastern dish made from ground chickpeas, then tossed into the fryer, lathered with tzatziki sauce, set atop some veggies, and wrapped into a warm pita. Delicious, but not nutritious! With my healthy and tasty recipe, I used a few skinny swaps to take the calorie, fat and carb count down. One of those swaps? Instead of frying the falafel, I baked it. And don't worry; the tzatziki sauce is so creamy and flavorful that you'd never know you're eating a healthy recipe! Plus, the La Tortilla Factory® Low Carb, High Fiber, Whole Wheat tortillas pack an extra fiber punch that keeps you fuller longer, as opposed to a carb- and calorie-laden pita. Get the full recipe.
23. Light and Easy BLT Wrap:
Who doesn't love a warm, crunchy BLT? Our waistlines, that's who. The calorie, sodium and fat counts that bacon packs is unreal — but if you find the right cut and bake it rather than fry it, you'll have less to worry about in the nutrition department. At only 184 calories per wrap, it might be tough not to make this every day! Give it a try with this recipe!
