Ingredient Selection Tips
Wraps
Always choose whole grain, wheat, or quinoa tortilla wrap. Find the one with the least preservatives possible and the highest fiber content. If you are on a gluten-free diet, there are some tortilla wraps that use buckwheat, oat, rye flour, or corn instead. However, you may have to buy them from a specialty store. Avoid buying gluten-free wraps that include lots of artificial preservatives and additives.
Baby Kale or Spinach
If you are buying greens in the supermarket, packed in a bag, make sure to choose bright green leaves that aren’t wilted. Always try to buy organic, as spinach and kale are some of the highest vegetables that have pesticides in them or ensure to wash well before consuming.
