nutritional information for roast vegetable and tahini wrap
- Parsley is a fantastic herb! It is alkalising, helps alleviate bad breath and is a great source of vegetarian iron.
- If you don’t have cooked chicken breast on hand, you could use a bought free range pre cooked chicken. Just peel off the skin, as it is where all the added flavours and preservatives are added.
- In warm months, omit the roast vegetables and try tabouli, or washed 4 bean mix or freshly grated beets and carrot. Wraps always need a little moisture, so if not using tahini try avocado, or hummus or homemade mayonnaise if egg tolerant.
