Paleo Wraps by Julian’s Bakery
These are great if you’re flirting with the coconut tortilla idea, but aren’t committed enough to go “whole coconut”. Because this coconut is supported by many other healthy fats and amazing flavors. Think chia seeds, flax meal, and sunflower butter.
These have all the advantage of coconut tortillas. They’re low-carb, gluten-free, and paleo. Plus they’re an easy substitute in any recipe. And the ingredients are healthy. So you can feel good about what you eat.

Lettuce Wraps
All the comfort of a conventional sandwich, with all the smart-sense of a diet high in veggies. A lettuce wrap is easy and economical. And it’s a great source of fiber. Plus lettuce leaves contain lots of water and nutrients that lead to happy skin.
You can go simple with butter lettuce or romaine leaves. Or you can bump it up a nutritional notch by using cabbage leaves or chard. But either way, you’ve got a great way to enjoy your veggies while indulging in some of your favorite comfort foods.
Portobello Buns
Did you know mushrooms can be immunity Superfoods? They’re great for everything from fighting colds to strengthening the immune system against things like cancer. And they can make a delicious, healthier, low-carb eating so easy.
Mix some olive oil with your portobello caps and grill. Then use them just like your favorite bread for your latest lunch creation. And feel good that you’re getting a whole lot of extra nutrients.
