Basil Zucchini Wraps
I love wraps. They are a quick, easy way to throw together a tasty, healthy lunch or dinner. These wraps have a zucchini-basil base with a little coconut thrown in. Black sesame seeds add a little color and nutrients. For the filling, a quick dice of some veggies combined with spinach cream is perfect. These are quick, easy and bursting with flavor. The wraps will keep in the refrigerator for a few weeks, properly wrapped.

Where is the spinach in the spinach cream? I just blended all the ingredients. Went back and re-read the recipes above….looked the the picture…where is the spinach, lol? Are we supposed to add it to the cream sauce? That would make sense except the sauce in the photo looks white. Hmmm….

Yes, it is in the cream sauce.

do you think ground sprouted, dried sunflower seeds would work instead of the flax?
We have allergies…but these sound awesome!

Oh, these look simply delish! Not sure I’d want to eat them after they’ve been in the refrigerator for a few weeks though. Maybe a few days tops.

Brenda…just the wraps, not the complete assembled meal.
