Health Benefits

This wrap isn’t just tasty; it’s also a nutritional powerhouse:

  • Canned Tuna: A great source of lean protein, canned tuna is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, brain function, and reduce inflammation.
  • Baby Spinach: Spinach is loaded with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate, iron, and calcium. It’s also high in antioxidants, which help protect your cells from damage.
  • Cucumber: Hydrating and low in calories, cucumbers are high in vitamins K and C and contain antioxidants that help promote healthy skin and reduce inflammation.
  • Tomatoes: Packed with vitamins C and K, potassium, and folate, tomatoes are also a great source of lycopene, an antioxidant linked to many health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and cancer.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can of tuna in water, drained
