Green Pea Veggie Wrap

Eat your peas!

Do you remember your Mom telling you to eat your peas when you were a kid? Guess what?! She was right! Peas are a fantastic food. Just a half cup of peas contains 4 g of protein, 10 g of carbohydrates, 125 mg of potassium, and tons of vitamin C and vitamin A.

I don't know about you, but I am impressed!

Alright, I will get off my soap box.

My lunch today was a light and refreshing veggie wrap. I wanted to try something a little different because wraps can be boring, so I turned to a favorite vegetable of mine, green peas! I started with hummus on my tortilla and topped it with peas, tomatoes and lettuce. Voila! The fresh garlic and lemon in the hummus added a lot of flavor, so the wrap was not bland at all. I feel full but not so heavy with food that it will affect my afternoon run.

What do you like to do to change an old favorite meal up a bit?
