Ingredients

Let's check the ingredients you'll need:

• 1 cup of cottage cheese: Source of protein and calcium 

  
  

• 2 eggs: Source of choline and additional protein 

  
  

• Garlic powder (Optional): Source of antioxidants 

Step-by-step Preparation

Step 1: Blend away! 

Blend the cottage cheese with the eggs until you get a smooth mixture with no clumps. 

Also, preheat your oven to 230 degrees Celsius/ 445 degrees Fahrenheit!

Step 2: Spread it Out!

Add the mixture onto a tray lined with parchment paper.

Make sure the mixture is evenly distributed along the tray and is around two centimeters thick, as the tray should be large enough to allow the mixture to be spread out.  

Step 3: Bake! 

Place the tray in the oven and bake for around 45 minutes until it is a little golden and crisp. 

Take out the tray when the wrap is crispy around the edges! 

Step 4: Refine the Edges 

Once removed from the oven, let the wrap cool on the tray for around 10 minutes.

After it's cooled, cut the edges and shape it into a wrap! 

Step 5: Add your favorite fillings! 

After refining the edges of your wrap, add your favorite vegetables and toppings! For our wrap, we stuffed it with avocado, carrots, celery, cucumber, and purple onions, but you can also stuff it with pre-cooked vegetables! 

Step 6: Enjoy! 

We suggest letting your kids pick their toppings, making their mealtime more interactive and allowing them to attain autonomy!
