Are you looking for an egg-cellent way to enjoy eggs and amplify the nutritional value of your traditional wrap? Wraps are an easy and quick way to have all of your food groups in one place while you are on the go during the busy sSummer months. Our Hy-Vee dietitian’s Pick of the Month — Egglife wraps — are the perfect solution for your next snack or meal to wrap your next meal in extra protein.

Every member in the family can build their own customized wrap by adding their favorite ingredients. Here are some great tips to prepare for the portability and ease of making wraps at home.

Select your base – by choosing Egglife wraps as your base, you are adding additional protein to your diet while keeping calories in check to manage health and wellness goals. For other options, try whole-wheat tortillas or whole- grain flat breads.

Pick your protein – protein helps not only with satiety (keeping you feeling full longer) but also helps with muscle repair and rebuilding. Select a lean protein such as chicken, fish, turkey, pork tenderloin or lean beef (such as sirloin) to incorporate into your next wrap.!

Fill up with fiber – add a variety of vegetables to help your body fill up and stay full longer. Protein and fiber work together to keep you feeling full longer, and vegetables provide a wide variety of vitamins and minerals that your body needs.

Choose your condiments – create your own dressing for a lighter condiment option and way to pack in great flavor!
