The Crunch Wrap Fix – Clean Protein Wrap with Sprouts, Hummus & Cucumber
Fuel your day the smart way with this clean, plant-powered protein wrap. Creamy hummus meets crisp cucumber and fresh mung bean sprouts, all tucked inside a hearty whole-grain wrap. It’s crunchy, cooling, and loaded with fiber, protein, and serious flavor. Perfect for post-workout recovery, lunch on the go, or a mindful midday refuel.
Ingredients:
- 1 large whole-grain wrap or tortilla
- 3 tbsp classic or garlic hummus
- 1/2 cup mung bean sprouts (fresh, rinsed, and crisp)
- 1/4 cup cucumber, julienned or thinly sliced
- Optional: a few julienned or thinly sliced carrots
- Pinch of sea salt
- Cracked black pepper
- Optional drizzle: olive oil or lemon juice for extra zing
Method (Chef-style):
1. Warm the wrap briefly in a dry pan or microwave—just enough to soften, not toast. You want flexibility, not crisp edges.
2. Spread the hummus like you mean it—generous, creamy, edge-to-edge.
3. Layer it smart. Start with a bed of carrots if using. Then lay the cucumber, followed by a generous handful of mung bean sprouts. Stack it like you're building a performance engine—balance is key.
4. Season. Just a small pinch of sea salt and a crack of black pepper. Let the natural crunch and hummus shine.
5. Optional drizzle of olive oil or lemon juice for a silky finish.
6. Wrap it tight. Fold in the sides, roll it up like a pro, and give it a gentle press. Slice in half on a bias—because presentation matters.
💡 Chef’s Tip:
Use cold, fresh sprouts only—never soggy. Want more protein? Add tempeh strips or a hard-boiled egg. Want it spicy? A dash of harissa or chili oil will wake it right up.
