I have yet to find a gluten free bread which completely compares to normal bread and as a result I tend to just avoid eating bready things, I can’t remember the last time I had a sandwich. I do however, eat a lot of wraps/flatbreads instead, of which there are so many varieties available now. But as with sandwiches, I find myself putting the same things in over and over, and I begin to get a little bored.

Working with Mission and their vast selection of wraps, Angela Dowden has created some recipes to rejuvenate you and give you some inspiration, if like me you’ve started to run out of ideas.

Hangover Wrap
(serves 2)

Comforting but nutritious - a combination of carbs, protein and fat to gently raise energy levels, solve the munchies and ease nausea. This will keep you going through lunch until it’s time for a healthy evening meal.

Ingredients
2 Mediterranean Herb Mission Deli Wraps
2 medium eggs
12 slices/60g dry cured chorizo (or 2 cooked chorizo style sausages, chopped)
2 slices beefsteak tomato
1/2 punnet mustard and cress
2 slices Emmental cheese

Each wrap contains 449 calories, 24.6g protein, 36.7g carbohydrate, 22.9g fat, 1.8g fibre and 1.3 fruit/veg portions.

• Scramble the eggs with just a brush off butter or oil (don’t add milk as you don’t want it to be too watery - add a little mayonnaise if you prefer a creamier texture).
• Place a slice of Emmental cheese on each wrap.
• Place half the scrambled egg on top of the cheese in each wrap.
• Add half the chorizo and half the mustard and cress to each wrap.
• Place a slice of tomato on each wrap, season to taste if desired.
• Fold up and enjoy!

Detox Wrap

Rich in antioxidants, essential fats, and slow release energy, this will take the stress off your digestive system and fill you with good things!

Ingredients
3 Mission Deli Multigrain Wraps
150g red cabbage, shredded
1 large carrot, coarsely grated
A large handful of curly parsley, roughly chopped (about 6g)
1 Pink Lady or Cox apple, cored, quartered and sliced

2 tbsps toasted pine nuts
1 tbsp each sunflower seeds and toasted sesame seeds
2 tbsps raisins (preferably green raisins)

1 tbsp clear honey
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsps sunflower oil

Each wrap contains 448 calories, 8.9g protein, 22.5g fat, 6g fibre, 1.9 portions of fruit/veg

• Prepare all the ingredients apart from the dressing ones and mix them in a bowl.
• Put all the dressing ingredients into a small bowl. Season and whisk until slightly thickened. Pour over the salad and toss until evenly coated.
• Put in wraps and fold up tightly.

Energy Wrap
(serves 1)

Packed with slow releasing carbohydrates and energy-releasing B vitamins to keep you going longer.

Ingredients
1 Wheat and White Mission Deli Wrap
2-3 tbsps caramelised onion houmous
1 medium carrot, peeled
1/4 punnet mustard and cress

Each wrap contains 348 calories, 8.7g protein, 46.8g carbohydrate, 14.3g fat, 5.3g fibre, 1.5 fruit/veg portions.

• Grate the washed peeled carrot, taking care not to grate your knuckles!
• Pile the houmous in the wrap.
• Sprinkle the grated carrot over the houmous. Snip the washed mustard and cress from the punnet and scatter over the carrot.
• Fold up your wrap.

Pregnancy Wrap

Beef and Horseradish Wrap (serves 2)

A great source of iron, important to prevent pregnancy anaemia.

Ingredients
2 Mission Deli Mediterranean Herb Wraps
2 tbsps horseradish sauce
4 tbsps half fat crème fraîche
1 big handful of  watercress
1/2 small red onion
4 medium thick slices cooked roast beef, or 6 thin slices.

Each wrap contains 352 calories, 20.9g protein, 39g carbohydrate, 13g fat, 1.2g fibre, 0.5 fruit/veg portions.

• In a small bowl, mix together the horseradish sauce with the crème fraîche.

They look really yummy, I can’t wait to try some out!
