Whether you are gluten-free or looking to cut calories, a lettuce wrap is a great option to enjoy a juicy burger. I find most gluten-free buns aren’t worth it. And you are getting an extra veggie serving!

Don’t eat naked (carbs)!

“Naked carbs” are simple carbohydrates eaten on their own without fiber, protein, or fat.

I just hit the afternoon slump. If I were to eat these pretzels naked I would feel worse. Pairing them with protein-rich cheese will sustain me longer.

Dealing with a food restriction can be really frustrating. It helps to focus on what you CAN have rather than what you can’t. Here’s another gluten-free snack I’m enjoying.

My So-Called Gluten-Free Diet…

The struggle is real. I love bread, pasta, pizza, cookies, cake - oh my!! I’m slowly making peace with not enjoying those foods as often. Lettuce wraps are a nice crunchy alternative for sandwiches, like my breakfast BLT. This rice cake topped with whipped ricotta, bananas & honey was surprisingly satisfying and has me thinking up more combos.

Girl dinner upgrade…
Chickpea Boats: schmear of hummus on a crisp lettuce leaf helps keep the chickpea salad from rolling around. Sprinkle of feta to top it off. 😋
