High in protein but low in fat, these Egg White Breakfast Wraps are so easy to make and can even be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer for a delicious breakfast on the go, anytime.
Are you a breakfast person?
Breakfast is a daily debate in our house but the more I ask around, the more it seems that people seem pretty split on the topic. Some argue it’s the most important meal of the day (and rightfully so), but others, including myself, can’t even think of eating something first thing in the morning.
My morning routine consists of a morning face mask and a (few) cups of coffee. Aside from the fact that I never really wake up hungry, I find that if I eat something immediately after waking up, I’ll feel sluggish for most of the day.
Mom on the other hand, plans her first meal of the day the night before. Breakfast is her fuel and sets the tone for her day. Understandably so- she is more of a morning person and always has been. I have found that most people who do indulge in a breakfast of some sort boasts of being an early bird. Interesting observation isn’t it?
Sometimes though, it’s nice to just sit down together over a shared meal. It’s our time to have some girl talk, catch up, and bond. On such days, mom will usually whip us up something light but satisfying like these Egg White Wraps.
It’s more or less a salad wrap with egg whites. It’s that perfect combo of being both healthy and delicious. The best part is you can make these ahead of time, wrap them in foil, and freeze them for the week. Meal prep at its finest.
The recipe doesn’t have exact measurements because it’s all adaptable to how many wraps you’re making. If you’re making them in bulk to freeze ahead, you’ll need to adjust the recipe as necessary.

Other than Mexican/Hispanic cuisine, I’m just not much of a ‘wrap’ person although my better half loves them. Neither of us understands using just egg whites in a wrap, sandwich or for breakfast. Healthy yes…tasty no… My breakfast wrap would be spicy Italian sausage, scrambled whole egg and a nice cheddar cheese. My wife would substitute bacon for the sausage and she’d use Havarti cheese. Different strokes for different folks. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

I never thought to freeze them in batch. That’s a great idea!

I’m actually an egg white lover so this looks delicious. I’m allergic to avocado however my husband would take the extra avocado any day. This might be something to put into our rotation for breakfast.
