Buy slaw mix (carrot, broccoli, cabbage) and put on WHOLE Wheat Tortillas.  Spread the following sauce (derived from Clean) over the top.  I ate two of them for dinner, and had the glass of wine pictured.  Wine at 5 according to Blue Zones, right!

1 T almond butter
1 t grated fresh ginger
1/2 lemon juiced
1 t apple cider vinegar (I use just a dash; otherwise overpowers in my opinion)
1 clove garlic
1 t nama shoyu or wheat free tamari (you can get the latter in the health food section at Hy-Vee)
pinch of cayenne (additional spice if desired)
Blend together all ingredients.

Recently, and out of simplicity (easy for you too!), I have started eating hummus spread on a WHOLE wheat tortilla or WHOLE wheat bread and then topped with peppers, raw broccoli, etc.  The crunch added by the vegetables is fantastic.  Use as a snack, or eat 2 of them for lunch/dinner.

A homemade (NO OIL) hummus recipe for you below.  Store bought hummus is fine too.
