Introduction to Keto Lunches
Chicken Lettuce Wraps have become one of my favorite lunches since turning to keto. Before a keto lifestyle, I had no idea how great of a vessel lettuce could be for meats, veggies, and sauces. You really aren’t missing out on anything without the bun or bread. You get the best part of the sandwich or wrap without the sluggish feeling you get after eating all those carbs!
Low Carb Lunch Wraps
When it comes to our day-to-day, Matt and I like to make our first meals (usually a late breakfast or lunch) our carbiest meals, and this lettuce wrap will do the trick. It’s not very high on carbs by any means, but it can pack a lot of veggies and avocado, and the peanut chicken, marinated in peanut butter brings in a couple carbs too! We like to get most, if not all of our carbs from veggies due to its high fiber content.
Lettuce Wrap Recipe Ideas
I love lettuce wraps because I can fill them with whatever I want or whatever I have in the fridge! I can keep it super simple with some meat and cheese or go a little wild like we did with this Peanut Chicken Wrap. Some other great ideas are using lettuce wraps for fajitas, burgers, as taco shells, or for a deli meat sandwich like at Jimmy Johns.
Peanut Chicken Lettuce Wraps
We find that not only is swiss chard a great option for the wrap portion of this meal, but so are collard greens – feel free to use either! What we love so much about wraps as meals is that you get to choose what ever foods you like or foods that go well together, insert them into more food (the wrap), do a quick wrap up and then eat! If you’re just as big a fan as us of wrapping foods inside other foods you should give our Low Carb Tortillas and Low Carb Naan a try! But, if you’re looking for something quick and easy to take on the go, definitely give our Peanut Chicken Lettuce Wrap a try!
