Recipe: Carb-less Flax Wrap


Carb-less Flax Wrap

Ingredients:
2 TBS flax meal
2 TBS water
1 egg white

Instructions:
Mix all three ingredients together, and pour into a skillet. The batter may come out a little thick; if this happens just spread it out in the pan end to end. Flip and cook both sides thoroughly.
I am really enjoying these! You can use them anyway you would use a tortilla! I like to use them to make tuna or chicken wraps. I also really like them for breakfast to wrap my eggs in! It’s like a healthy burrito omelet! They are even great with a little almond or peanut butter spread on them.

What’s so great about Flax? Flax is great for our digestive health since it has lots of fiber and healthy fats which is important for our digestive health and the overall function of our cells. Only 2 TBS of flax has only has 4 grams of carbs, but since Flax is very fibrous all 4 grams of carbs in Flax are “fiber” carbs. Therefore, they count as “net” carbs. In other words, the carbs get passed through your digestive track and are not necessarily metabolized as energy.
