Do you have a craving for some kind of a wrap? These low carb egg wraps with avocado, lettuce and tuna are high in protein, healthy fats and super easy to make. Once you try to make a tuna egg wrap, it will become one of your favorite meals.
Tuna is not only high in protein, but it’s also packed with loads of omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, and vitamin D. All of these nutrients are important for good heart health, brain function, and normal growth.
Tuna fish, fresh or canned, can be easily combined with leafy greens, such as lettuce leaves. Be careful when picking out canned tuna as many brands contain lots of sodium and preservatives.
Look for a brand that contains wild-caught tuna as you’ll reduce your exposure to chemicals used in many farm-raised practices. Also, look for a brand of canned tuna in water or olive oil instead of canola oil as this is a healthier base.
I recommend using organic, pasture-raised eggs if possible to ensure the most nutrients. Eggs are an excellent source of protein and vitamin D, as long as you eat the yolk.
Vitamin D helps keep your immune system healthy because it regulates the inflammatory response (1). It has also been shown to protect against heart disease (2).
The avocado provides healthy fats, fiber, and potassium, which is necessary to help maintain proper hydration levels due to its electrolyte functions in the body.
The ketogenic diet is naturally diuretic. Therefore, maintaining your electrolyte levels is important and eating avocado is the perfect way to do that!
It might often be hard to come up with healthy and easy to make lunch ideas during a busy work week, but this dish has got your back!
Once you try this tuna and egg wrap, you will be amazed by its delicious and fragrant flavors.
Within only 15 minutes, your lunch will be ready. By the way, this can also be your super breakfast!
