Pizza-Style Lunch Wrap

The pizza cravings were handled, in the form of a lunch wrap. This colorful, customizable, and choice meal is both light and filling.

Like many people, issues with gut health have limited my diet, taking away pizza from my palette. While I was trying to figure out how to eat without stomach pains, I would restrict my diet to a flavorless assortment of vegetables. This made my cravings roar out of control, especially for pizza. Realizing that pizza was not just a set of ingredients, but a type of food, I began exploring different ways of making pizza. That’s when I realized that a deconstructed lunch wrap, could be easily altered into a type of pizza. Finding my perfect set of ingredients, I developed this recipe.

It is delectably light on the body, while also filling you up; the combined textures and tastes of the varied ingredients complement each other in a rich palette; most of my cravings for pizza diminished (not entirely gone because who can resist pizza). The best part is that it is completely customizable; if you don’t like something, don’t use it! And if you want to add another flavor into the mix, go ahead!
