Are you looking for a quick and healthy wrap that’s maybe low in calories and more whole foods based? Or maybe you’re looking for a gluten or wheat-free sandwich option. Well, check out these raw veggie collard wraps! I would recommend sticking with a thick creamy filling like avocado or guacamole, instead of using a fruit or vinegar based dressing, as the taste of collards is quite strong and with just a vinegar or lemon base it won’t really be that delicious. Unless you’re like a hard core raw foodist, in which case you probably eat raw kale by the bunchfuls… every day… Just kidding! Rock on! Serve this wrap with a raw soup, green salad, or fruit salad. This is not a low fat recipe, technically because the veggies and wrap have so little calories. This is why I did not use an entire avocado for the recipe, otherwise it would be very fatty. I want to emphasize, that on it’s own, this is a very LOW CALORIE wrap, pretty much a snack. Since we don’t want to load up on nuts, seeds, and oil on a low fat raw vegan or 80/10/10 diet, this should be part of a meal. Enjoy this with a fat free soup recipe from Savory Raw Dinner Recipes and lots of veggie sticks with hummus. I have seen some restaurants steam the collard leaves as well for those who prefer a milder taste (sort of like steamed cabbage in a cabbage roll), so that’s always an option if you’re looking for a softer texture in your wrap!
