Who says wraps are just for summer?

When you swap out the cold lunchmeat and crispy vegetables for a blend of warm, nutritious ingredients, you’ve got a satisfying, belly-warming lunch that hits the spot in the cooler months.

A layer of fresh, lemony hummus adds fiber, minerals and protein.

Collard green leaves and Swiss chard add a dose of calcium.

The Portobello mushroom provides B vitamins, which are crucial for those who don’t eat meat.

Drizzle the wrap with some balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
