Eating healthy really doesn’t have to be a chore. Once you’ve tried this wrap, you’ll definitely want to make it more often. And rightly so, if you ask us, because what’s a better combo than tasty and healthy?!

We often take the lettuce wraps with us on the bike or to the beach, wrapping each one first in a nice napkin and then in foil. That way you can easily unwrap and enjoy them. Whether you’re sitting by the water or somewhere else beautiful; it’s extra enjoyable with something tasty and healthy like a well-stuffed lettuce wrap combined with delicious basil mayonnaise.
