Salus Nutritionist & Food Expert
It's a New Year!
You know what that means...
Most everyone is making a list (long or short) of what they would like to improve, change or eliminate.
Improving or changing nutrition habits is a biggie!
Many of us are coming out of the holiday-eating-revolving-door and we are more than ready to stay out.
Some of us know what we need to change, but may not know how or where to start.
Hopefully, you will follow this blog for some nutrition knowledge that will help you towards your goal of improved nutrition and a healthier 2015!
Eating healthier doesn't have to mean eating bland foods or totally eliminating foods that work against your health goals.
Foods like tacos, quesadillas and wraps can be delicious, but for those that are watching their carb intake, it can mean substituting the ever-popular lettuce in place of the tortilla.
Yes, there are low-carb pre-made tortillas on the market, but have you peeked at the ingredients?!
These tortillas are a great substitute for the real thing and easy to make.
Try them this week!
Ingredients
serves 2
1/4 c plus 2 Tblsp water
2 eggs
2 Tblsp extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 Tblsp coconut flour
2 Tblsp almond flour
1/2 Tblsp ground flax seed
1/4 tsp baking powder
Whisk together water, eggs and oil.
In separate bowl, mix flours, flax seed and baking powder.
Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients, whisking well so no clumps form.
Heat a few tablespoons of oil over medium high heat.
Once hot, pour 1/4 c batter into pan, tilting so batter spreads thin.
Cook for 2 minutes or until slightly toasted and flip, cooking other side for 2 minutes.
