3-Ingredient High-Protein, Gut-Friendly Wraps (No Additives)

The Problem with Supermarket Wraps

• ⚠️ Most supermarket wraps are ultra-processed, low in fiber, and contain numerous additives detrimental to gut health.
• 💡 The speaker, a medical doctor and nutritionist, aims to create a healthier alternative.

The Base Oat and Flax Wrap Recipe

• 🥣 The base recipe uses oats (75g) for fiber and nutrients like beta-glucans, which help reduce cholesterol.
• 🌟 Flax seeds (25g) are added for additional fiber, protein, and gut-health-promoting compounds like SDG.
• 💧 Water (250ml) and a pinch of salt are mixed with the oats and flax seeds to form a simple batter, avoiding eggs, binders, or preservatives.
• 🍳 The batter is cooked in a hot pan (cast iron recommended) for about 4-6 minutes total, creating a pliable, gluten-free wrap.

Elevating the Wrap: Spinach Green Wraps

• 🥬 For extra nutrition, spinach (50g) can be blended into the base recipe, reducing the water content slightly (to 200ml).
• 🌶️ Additional spices like cumin and nigella seeds can be added for flavor and anti-inflammatory benefits.
• ⚠️ These enhanced wraps may be slightly more brittle due to the extra ingredients, so starting with the base recipe is advised.

Versatile Filling and Enjoyment

• 🌯 The wraps are highly versatile and can be used for breakfasts, lunches, or snacks.
• 🌮 Smaller versions can be made into mini tacos, while larger ones can be filled with ingredients like hummus, smoked tofu, eggs, or black beans.
• ✅ Homemade wraps offer a healthier, cost-effective, and additive-free alternative to store-bought options.
