This is a simple meal that my mother made up.  The wrap has only about 275 calories and it is high in protein, good carbs and fiber, so it makes excellent pre- or post-workout fuel that will keep you going strong.  I often eat it for breakfast.  It can store for several hours if you are taking it for lunch, but don’t let it sit too long.

Yes, nori is a sea vegetable.  Bear with me here folks.  We usually think of nori as only something we eat in sushi, but there are many benefits of incorporating sea vegetables into our diets.  Sea vegetables contain many minerals, vitamins and micronutrients such as iodine, calcium, and iron and are arguably the most nutritious foods on the planet when compared pound for pound with other foods.  Sea vegetables are also great detoxifiers, and can remove radioactive elements and heavy metals from the body.  An additional benefit of eating sea veggies is they can soften hardened masses and tumors in the body, and they have been used as a complementary cancer treatment.

Nori is mild tasting and the others flavors in the wrap overpower the taste of the nori–sort of like in sushi!  Try it out, you will like it! (more…)
