Have you Tried Cauliflower Wraps?!?!?

09 March 2015

I recently popped into Jackson’s Real Food Market (Johannesburg, South Africa), a real gem of a store for us health freaks. This fantastic little store has just about every cool health item you can think of – from gluten free breads, banting friendly cereals and breads, nut butters, sugar free ice-cream, organic produce, grass fed beef, incredible dairy and the oh so amazing cauliflower wrap. With Banting being all the rage on the health front these days, cauliflower has become an increasingly popular substitution for rice, mash, pizza and now wraps. Very low in carbs, incredible in texture and so damn awesome to stuff with delicious veggies and protein, these wraps are everything! These are any banter’s dream! Expensive yes – but worth every cent. I highly recommend these beauties to anyone looking for healthier alternatives. This is what it’s all about. See?! We don’t have to deprive ourselves – we don’t have to give up anything – all we need to do is replace the bad with the good – and these wraps are exactly that! Made with eggs, tapioca flour, psyllium husk, cauliflower, olive oil and salt, these wraps provide plenty of healthy fats, protein and fibre to keep you feeling satiated for hours! Trust me – just one wrap and you feel super full! It’s amazing!

And what would an epic wrap be without an epic recipe...
