Delicious wraps that are also low in carbohydrates!

Nowadays the children also both cook one day a week. And since Luc loves wraps, these were on his menu to make, for me they became low-carb wraps.

Not only do they cook, of course, I help them with it, but they have to do as much as possible themselves. And come up with what they want to eat, as long as it contains enough vegetables. Luc is crazy about everything that has to do with rice and pasta. But if I give him the choice, he makes wraps every week. Because he likes it so much, but also because it's so easy . You already understand… every now and then I intervene. But this time he was allowed to make wraps and for me a low-carb version.

Making low-carbohydrate wraps with fresh-chicken isn't that hard

To keep my weight in balance, I try - if possible - to eat a low-carbohydrate variant during dinner. Do the kids eat wraps, then we make low-carb wraps for me and for the rest just how it suits. Sometimes low carb, sometimes not. In this case, the kids had regular wraps and I used Powerslim low-carb wraps.

For those who do not know PowerSlim; PowerSlim is a weight loss program developed by dieticians, which consists of personal guidance from a PowerSlim coach and low-carbohydrate diet. PowerSlim has about 350 coaches in the Netherlands and 100 in Belgium. Super handy to have at home so that you can always easily make a low-carbohydrate variant for yourself if you want.
