Use a handful of ingredients you likely have in your fridge, wrap up a deliciously nutritious lunch with these Easy Collard Wraps… leftovers included!

Gluten Free, Grain Free, High Protein

Last week, I spent a lot of time thinking about my health. If you follow me on Instagram, then you know I drove down to Maryland with my parents for my annual health check up at the National Institutes of Health. Although I’m in great health now, it wasn’t always the case (more on my health journey coming soon).

I used to take my health for granted, and it wasn’t until after experiencing some of my own health struggles that I realized the value of being healthy. Which is part of the reason I became a dietitian in the first place – to help others get and stay healthy through food!

Your health is the biggest gift you have in life. So treating your body with compassion, love, good food and movement is the best way you can respect your health.

But when life gets busy, it can be hard to put yourself – and your health – first. Knowing how to anticipate your busy weeks and plan ahead can help your energy levels soar, make nourishing eating easier, and eliminate stress over deciding what you’re eating for lunch and dinner.

But what should you make?

Preparing a few proteins, a bunch of veggies, some grains, and breakfasts each week can help make healthy eating easier.

Especially because you can mix and match when it comes time for lunch. Like with these Easy Collard Wraps…

When I asked you what you wanted to see more of here in 2018, simple recipes for lunch and snacks were the most popular responses.
