The first recipient of the Quatrain-tee 60th shirt was my cousin David.
The first recipient of the Quaran-tee was my cousin David. he and I save a keen interest in all things scientific and agronomical, and can often be found in the same part of the world when there’s a solar eclipse.
He’s also a bit of a karaoke king, so he chose to perform the very appropriate “When I’m 64” to get the Travelling Tee off to a rousing start. 10 bonus performance points!
It has now been passed on to Helen – let’s see what magic she manages with it!
I found these in my local supermarket, and have used them for my lunches this week.
Following a low carb diet, I usually avoid the bread/bagel/wrap based lunches, but when I spotted these at 100 calories each, 4g carbs and 12g protein I just had to try them. The main ingredient is pea protein, so they are an easy way to get some more protein content.
Filling 1:
Cream cheese, smoked salmon, chopped green onions (scallions)
These held together really well, and the scallions added a bit of crunch to what might otherwise be a bit soft texture wise.
Filling 2:
Cottage cheese, roast red pepper, basil, and marmite.
Smearing a good teaspoon of marmite over the base before adding the toppings is a tasty way to add flavour, and the roast red pepper was a good alternative to tomato.
Filling 3:
Ricotta, roast broccoli, artichokes, plenty of salt and pepper
Ricotta can be a bit bland and chalky, so next time I’d add some jalapeños give it more of a kick. Good way to use up leftover veggies.
Overall verdict:
The wraps are lovely and soft, easy to roll and don’t disintegrate like some other low carb alternatives. I accompanied each wrap with a mini salad of either tomatoes and celery, kimchi, sugar snaps and cucumber. I will definitely be making these part of my usual meal planning.
