As you know, I love to try new healthy foods. I find that especially around the holidays, I need to try to apply the 80/20 rule to my food choices. No, not 80% cookies/20% veggies – though sometimes it seems that way. I mean 80% healthy and 20% treats. I mentioned the other day that I saw on the Today show that the average American gains 6 lbs between Thanksgiving and Christmas and then seeks to lose 14 lbs in January. I do not want to be an average American. One way, I am keeping on track is trying healthy and delicious options – especially during the week for lunch.
Meet my new faves: Wrawps with turkey, Vaina Sunflower Horseradish spread and julienne veggies made with my Deiss Kitchenware dual julienne vegetable peeler (or avocado or both).
Wrawps are delicious, healthy and unique flatbreads made entirely from whole fruits and vegetables. They are raw (dehydrated) and are 100% all natural with no preservatives or additives. They have a 3 month shelf life, too. They come in 7 flavors: Original, Spirulina, Spicy, Smokey Heaven, Energized Morning (a Finds’ fave), ChiaRawBerry and Persimmon Delight (seasonal). I am just a wee bit obsessed with Wrawps. They offer such a great way to get more fruit and vegetables in your diet and a healthier, gluten free/wheat free sandwich making option. Great news! Wrawp wants you to be be healthier for the holidays. Get 15% off online through 12/31 with code Holiday. Want to hear more great news? I will have a full review of all of the flavors and a giveaway in the new year!
Vaina Sunflower Spread in Horseradish is the perfect addition to my Wrawp with turkey or veggoes. Viana has taken the spicy flavor of horseradish and combined it with their delicious sunflower spread to create a natural and healthy condiment that’s perfect for topping off your favorite sandwiches. It’s great used as a veggie dip or cracker spread for appetizers, too! 6.35 oz. (180g) jar is $3.99 at Vegan Essentials.
The Deiss Dual Julienne & Vegetable peeler allows you to peel, julienne, slice and shred vegetables of any shape and size. It’s not four different tools – just a single peeler that makes cooking fun. The julienne peeler lets you create noodles from your favorite vegetables! Carrot, parsnip, sweet potato, cucumber, orange, radish, squash, apple, cheese… you name it! It also peels my beloved butternut squash quickly and easily. I love this new tool (that I received at no cost from Tomoson for review.) It is 5 star rated at Amazon and on sale now for $13.79. It is super sturdy, too! This one will last a long time!
I can make an unlimited combination of healthy sandwiches to balance out my holiday treats with these products. I also love the sweeter Wrawps (like Energized Morning and ChiaRawBerri) for breakfast with My Coconut Kitchen Coconut Butter, Jem Raw Almond Butter or Finds’ Fave PB & Co Peanut Butter. I will tell you more about those later, too!
