New Lunch Alert: Flat Out Wrap

As you all remember reading here and here, I've been trying to find some new lunch options. While at the grocery store the other day, near the deli section right next to the Joseph's pitas I used for my Skinny Pita Pizza and Skinny Pita Quesadilla, I found these wraps called Flat Out wraps. Similar to the Joseph's pitas, the healthy phrases caught my eye..."90 calories, high fiber, 100% whole wheat, Low fat, 0 sugar, Light." I also liked the fact that they had wraps with different "flavors" including Italian, Garden spinach, sundried tomato, and original. The Italian wraps sounded good to me so that's what I went for!

I started by spreading some spicy mustard on the wrap, laid on some lettuce, halved grape tomatoes, 1/4 of an avocado diced, a Morning Star Grillers Chick'n patty cut into strips, and some homemade green salsa. I also had a salad with spring mix lettuces, grape tomatoes, and 1/4 avocado diced with fat free Italian dressing and lemon-pepper seasoning.

It turned out pretty good! The wrap had a good,fresh flavor and I got plenty of veggies with what was on the wrap and in my salad.

In my lunch recap post I introduced you all to the Morning Star Chick'n Patties. These patties I used on my wrap were different. They are supposed to be like grilled chicken patties as the others were the breaded variety. I did not like the grilled one as well. They just didn't have much flavor and it really tasted like an imitation chicken patty as where the others tasted like the real thing! I will probably eat the other 3 that came in the package just because they weren't too terrible and I hate to waste food, but I probably will not purchase that variety again.

So overall, I say yes to the flat out wraps and a no go on the grilled chicken patties! Try them out for yourself and see what you like! :)

Lunch Recap

Now that school is out and I have a lot more time to spend at home, I've decided to try and find some interesting, new, delicious lunch options! So here is a recap of a few of my lunches this past week!

While at the grocery store this past Monday, I found these Morning Star "Chicken" Patties in the freezer section. Apparently they aren't made of actual chicken but they sure do taste like it! They are called "veggie-style" patties yet still pack 8 grams of protein! These are honestly very good! The greatest part is each patty only has 140 calories and 5 grams of fat! That's WAY better than your traditional breaded chicken patty! I also made a "salad" with halved grape tomatoes, half an avocado cubed, and a little fat free italian dressing! SO YUM! And last but not least, my trusty ole apple! :)

Another day I had a packet of Starkist Tuna Creations Herb and Garlic Tuna with a chopped boiled egg mixed in. This isn't tooo inventine but by adding the boiled egg I'm getting some extra protein! I ate the tuna on reduced fat wheat thins and finished my meal off with a grapefruit! Very filling!

Wanting to find another way to use those delicious patties, I made my Skinny Pita Pizza with a little twist! I used the Joseph's pita and spaghetti sauce as usual but used fat-free cheddar and the diced up patty as my topping! I was so in love with the avocado and tomato salad I made the other day, I decided to have it again! :) I also had a half a grapefruit with this meal!

Hopefully this will give you a little inspiration to try something new or even one of these great combinations! If you try any out, let me know about it! :)
