I’ve been trying to plan ahead and do more meal prepping lately.
Sometimes I just feel like I can’t seem to get enough done during the week. There are days that go by so fast, sometimes I forget to eat lunch, or worse yet I just don’t have time to make lunch. For me being a total lover of food, skipping a meal is bad, very bad.

So on Sundays now I have been preparing lunches for the week, that way I have no excuse to skip a meal.
There is a little prep work to make these Collard Green Veggie Wraps, I call it a labor of love. <3
Once you have the Collard Greens blanched and the veggies chopped it’s really pretty easy to throw these together.

I was actually inspired to make these, because one day while I was on the go I stopped at my favorite health foods store to grab a few things and then grab a quick bite from their deli.
They had some pre made Collard Green Veggie wraps similar to this that I purchased. They were totally delicious, but I paid over $10 for one wrap cut in half! Yikes! I was like, ok I can totally make these at home and save some $$.
For each Collard Green I added some Spicy Hummus as a base.

Add Sprouts, Cabbage, Carrots, Cucumber, and Avocado evenly to each leaf. Don’t overfill or it’ll be hard to roll up.
Roll up each leaf like a burrito and slice in half.
Add them to individual lunch containers along with some Carrot Sticks and store them in the fridge for easy to grab lunches on the go!
