Peanut Butter, Apple and Banana Wrap


What you need:
1 large Whole Wheat Tortilla
Peanut Butter (I prefer creamy, but you could use crunchy if you wanted)
2/3 of an Organic Banana, sliced thin, down the banana (you want thin, long strips)
1/2 of a Granny Smith apple, peeled, and sliced thin

What to do:

  1. Spread an even layer of peanut butter on the tortilla.
  2. Place 6 strips of banana in the middle of the tortilla, not overlapping them. 
  3. Fold the top and the bottom of the tortilla just over the ends of the banana. 
  4. Layer the apples on top of the banana.
  5. Starting at the right end, roll the tortilla toward the left end, making sure the apples don't fall out.  
  6. Enjoy!
My brother ordered a version of this at a vegan cafe that we went to, and it was so good that my mom and I wanted to duplicate it!  Theirs is slightly different than ours, but I like this version better.  It's a great healthy option for lunch, a snack, or even dessert!  Give it a try!

Garlic Lover's Salsa!

What you need:

  • 4 tomatoes, cut into quarters
  • 4-5 cloves of garlic (depending on the size of the cloves)
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3-4 drops of Tabasco
  • salt and pepper
  • tortilla chips (optional) (my favorite is Tostitos: Hint of Lime tortilla chips)


What to do:


  1. Cut your tomatoes into quarters, and peel the garlic cloves.
  2. Put the tomatoes, garlic, cilantro leaves, red pepper flakes, orange juice and olive oil in the food processor, and pulse until combined, but still chunky (don't over-mix).
  3. Put 3-4 drops of Tabasco in (depending on how spicy you want it), and season with salt and pepper.  Stir.
  4. Serve with tortilla chips (and a coke!), and enjoy!
There's nothing better than chips and salsa!  It makes for a perfect appetizer or snack. Aside from eating with chips, my family likes to put this salsa on salads, wraps and tacos!  I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and I do! :)
