By Jolinda Hackett Updated on 09/26/21. Prep: 5 mins Cook: 0 mins Total: 5 mins Serving: 1 serving Yield: 1 wrap Avocado toast may be the latest food trend, but vegans and Californians who love avocado have been adding avocado to sandwiches, toasts, and wraps for decades. So if you're looking for the perfect way to make an avocado wrap vegan, or use up some leftover guacamole, this wrap sandwich may be one delicious way to do so. Try this vegan California-style avocado hummus wrap recipe. It's loaded with hummus, avocado, alfalfa sprouts, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Here's the perfect way to make a simple avocado wrap for lunch. You can use vegan cream cheese in your wrap if you would like a creamier experience, but the hummus, which is a popular Middle Eastern spread made from chickpeas, tahini, garlic and olive oil, tastes really great alongside the avocado. Feel free add some pickles or pickle relish as well. Nutrition Facts (per serving) 1596 Calories 42g Fat 259g Carbs

Whip Up This Single-Serve High-Protein Brownie Recipe in Minutes What else makes this fudge “healthy”? Along with its higher protein content, Michelle’s recipe has zero added sugar. Instead of white sugar—which is what most brownie recipes call for—Michelle swaps in more natural sweeteners, including banana and maple syrup. Bananas are a great source of potassium and other vitamins. And maple syrup has more minerals and antioxidants than refined sugar. She also uses almond milk as a vegan and plant-based alternative to dairy milk. Almond milk is lower in calories than regular milk. It also contains a decent amount of vitamin E, which can help reduce inflammation.
