Molly Kimball, registered dietitian says:
- High fiber foods help to keep us feeling fuller longer, making it easier to cut back on calories, and can translate into greater weight loss.
- A diet rich in fiber is known to reduce cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar levels, which in turn can lower risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
- La Tortilla Factory tortillas make it effortless to incorporate bread into your diet without fear of excess carbs or calories. The 50-calorie Smart & Delicious Low Carb, High Fiber wrap has half the calories and carbs – and more than twice the fiber – of a typical slice of whole grain bread.
Here are some healthy options and ideas from La Tortilla
Factory that will help you put a wrap on diet hunger as you
get ready to unwrap their towels with confidence at this beach this
summer:
La Tortilla Factory’s Smart & Delicious™ 100 Calorie Tortillas
La Tortilla Factory’s Smart & Delicious™ 100 Calorie Tortillas
Both
traditional and 100% whole wheat varieties have 8 grams of fiber with
added Omega 3-rich flax seeds, added calcium and absolutely no
hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils.
With
about half the recommended daily amount of fiber, these tortillas are
also low calorie, cholesterol-free, and contain no saturated fats, trans
fat or hydrogenated oils. Flavors are available in original whole
wheat, garlic & herb and green onion.
Recipe Ideas:
Goat Cheese Shrimp Quesadilla / less than 300 calories per quesadilla
Asian Rotisserie Chicken Salad Wrap / less than 300 calories per wrap.
I got a variety of La Tortilla Factory tortilla's to try out and review. First up was of course a quesadilla. I used shredded cheese, shredded chicken and then some Campbell's Fiesta nacho soup all on a wheat tortilla. It was so yummy!
Another family favorite was taking soft wraps in Tomato basil and making pizzadillas! You make these just like a quesadilla, add mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, ham and any other of your favorite pizza topping. Once the pizzadilla is done, cut and serve with pizza sauce!
Looking for a dessert? Then how about some tortilla cookies? My kids love these!
