Looking for a low calorie and easy lunch you can make ahead of time? This Roasted Red Pepper and Turkey Wrap with only 4 ingredients is just the ticket!
Well our little man is now 2 months old. I can’t believe he’s getting so big so quickly. On one hand it is good because I look forward to easier stages ahead, but on the other hand, I just love those sweet tiny baby features and the sweet little cry…except at 2 am.
So since I have a 2 month old, I’m kind of in weight loss mode. I’m trying to get off those last few pounds. I always dread this part. I’m pretty much doing what I’ve done every time. I put in my Jillian Michaels Body Revolution video and wish it will be over soon.
And then I eat little things like this for lunch.
I’m a huge Biggest Loser fan, and this little recipe is adapted from the first Biggest Loser cookbook. It is so easy, and I usually make three or four of them ahead of time in order to have them ready to eat. They really can’t get easier to make. Whole wheat tortilla, whipped cream cheese, roasted red bell peppers, and sliced turkey…that’s it!
Here are some other things I eat during the day:
Breakfast:
Scrambled Eggs in a Whole Wheat Pita Pocket
Scrambled Eggs in a Whole Wheat Tortilla Wrap
Boiled Eggs
Lunch:
Turkey and Cheese Whole Wheat Wrap
Turkey, Lettuce, Tomato in a Pita Pocket
Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla
Snacks:
string cheese
yogurt
1/2 pita toasted with hummus
I’m also trying to not be too strict right now either since I am nursing. I know I just need to patient, and it will come off in a few months…easier said than done, right?

I love a little cream cheese on a wrap. I don’t know why but it makes it feel a little decadent.
I agree Christie!!
Now these I could sink my teeth into!! They look really good Jaren, I just might have to make me some of these wraps. The little ones do grow up so fast, they all grow up so fast! I’m still in shock and awe of mine own having grown up and shaking my head wondering where the time went. Hold tight to these years and enjoy them to the fullest. Hugs, Brenda
Thanks Brenda!
Perfect easy lunch recipe! Love the red peppers.

2 months already? That’s crazy! Time really does go so fast though. My youngest just turned 11! These wraps sounds perfect! I’m definitely going to make them! I love that they can be made ahead of time. 🙂
