Powered Up Meal: 457 calories and 19 grams of fiber!

Powering up a wrap is simple by stuffing in your favorite veggies. We traded out the traditional white wrap for a whole wheat one. And since we upped the hummus to provide you extra creaminess, you won’t need the mayo. Ok, so we all know chips are not the best food for weight loss, so we substituted in kiwi as your side instead. Here's a picture and list of ingredients used to create this Power Up meal.

• 1 - 100% whole wheat wrap
• 2 slices turkey deli meat
• 4 T roasted red pepper hummus
• 2 T feta cheese
• 2 cups spinach
• 2 T olives
• ¼ cup diced cucumbers
• 1 roma tomato, diced
• 2 rings red onion
• 2 kiwi

This meal total is now 457 calories and 19g of fiber. Wow...did you notice the calories were cut in half?!
