Plate of wholesome goodness: fresh vegetables, boiled eggs, and savory meat.

 

Snacking doesn’t always have to be unhealthy or bring about feelings of remorse ten minutes after you take your last bite. And it doesn’t have to be boring for those looking to make better choices when it comes to food.

You know what the literal secret ingredient is for a satisfying but guilt-free snacking? Lunch meats!

Adding deli meats to your munchies is a great way to make them interesting without having to turn to carb-loading options. Slices of ham or turkey slices can instantly liven up a rather dull salad. Lucky for you, we’ve got just what you need: low-carb snack recipes to fill you up and slim you down!

Low Carb Lettuce Wrap


Ingredients:

  • 2 Slices of Buddig Ham
  • 3 Slices of Buddig Turkey Breast
  • 8 Iceberg lettuce
  • 1 tbsp homemade mayo
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 5 slices of cucumber
  • 8 cherry tomatoes, cut in half

Directions:

  • Line a tray with a sheet of parchment paper. Place 5-8 lettuce leaves on the tray, side by side, with their edges on top of another so there’s no space between them. 
  • Spread mayo and mustard on top of each lettuce leaf. 
  • Next, add slices of ham and turkey breast, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.
  • Roll the lettuce wraps as tightly as possible using parchment paper. When you’re halfway through, fold the sides inwards, over the filling. Continue rolling until everything is completely wrapped like a burrito.
  • Slice the wrap in two for easier consumption and enjoy一as soon as possible!

Quick tip: You can use romaine, butter, or Boston lettuce as an alternative to iceberg lettuce. In fact, any green leaf works, too! And don’t forget to dry your leaves completely after washing them to keep them from getting soggy.
