B,L,T - COLLARD GREEN WRAPS WITH HUMMUS, AVOCADO, CUCUMBER AND BACON
This is my healthy take on the classic "B, L, T!" My version is way more nutritious loaded with fiber, healthy fats and protein. No need for that stale white bread, iceberg lettuce (with hardly any nutrition) and a nasty old tomato. Try this instead!What is not to love about a recipe that is healthy, delicious and absolutely the easiest thing to make? I know right…The key is to have all the ingredients ready so you can make these kinds of healthy meals all the time. Meal prep is always the answer to making your life easier. A REAL FLAVOR EXPLOSION THAT IS PROTEIN- PACKED, LOW CARB, DAIRY-FREE, GLUTEN-FREE AND HEALTHY! Enjoy.
Ingredients
- 3 collard green leaves slightly steamed
- 3 organic slices of turkey bacon can also use tempeh bacon or chicken strips too
- 1 small cucumber cut into 3-4 slices (like a long, flat pickle)
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp of hummus or 3 tbsp avocado mayo - or use both!
- ½ avocado thinly sliced
- Salt + pepper to taste
- Drizzle of good quality organic olive oil optional
Instructions
- Add 1 inch of water in a cooking pan over low heat. Bring to a low simmer and simply place in one collard green at a time. You just want to steam them just slightly. About 1-2 mins each side. Cook all 3 and then place them on paper towels to dry.
- Meanwhile, take one cucumber and cut longwise into 3-4 slices (like a flat pickle).
- Slice up one red pepper. (Long, thin slices work best).
- Next cut one avocado in half. Slice up the half in 9 thin and long slices.
- Place one collard green on a plate. Spread 1 tbsp of hummus down the center (1 tbs for each collard green or can use more if desired) OR you can also use Primal Kitchen Avocado Mayo which I do too. Now place the cucumber over the hummus and/or mayo. (This makes it a stable surface for the rest too). Add 1 slice of bacon down the center over the cucumber. Place 2-3 slices of red bell pepper over. Now add 2-3 slices of the sliced avocado. Finish off by adding a few grinds of freshly ground pepper and a few grinds of Himalayan sea salt (or any salt works). Last, drizzle olive oil over the entire spread (can be optional).
- To serve; you can roll it up, cut it in half or in quarters. Enjoy!
Notes
Make any changes you want. You can use chicken or veggie (tempeh) bacon if you do not have turkey bacon.
You can slice up a hard-boiled egg too and add any additional veggies you want.
Don’t forget a nice drizzle of a good quality olive oil for a true flavor experience but also a great way to deliver all the healthy fats into your body.
The perfect b, l, d, or s (breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack!)
