I am a sucker. Yep, if I see a “NEW!!!!” product on the shelves or on a commercial I throw my dirty green paper at the nearest sales person and have that new item in my grubby hands faster than you can say ‘Snuggie’.
So, when I spotted these Wrawps at my local health foods store I had to have them. But, I was stopped by the price – I think they are something like $8.00 for a pack of three.
Um, hello. I find it ironic that you have to be a doctor to afford health food. I mean, docs can prescribe their own meds. I’m over here with a HMO – gimme the good stuff as an ounce of prevention!!
So, I passed on them the first time. But when I went back there was a nice lady sampling the Wrawps and I tried all three flavors. I liked them!
Finally I exchanged a week’s worth of pay for a few hippie wraps.
These raw vegan flat breads are super healthy because they’re 99% veggies. The ingredients are: zucchini, apple, flax, coconut, sprouted lentils, agave, raisins and cinnamon. And they’re super low calorie too – 60 calories for one big wrap (the other flavor is only 45 calories).
The energizing morning flavor is sweet, so that was obviously my favorite. I slathered some PB&J on top and ate it with breakfast. But when I shared a bite with Ben he said, “I feel sorry for people who have to eat that…” So there’s that.
I made a pizza with the ‘spicy’ flavor for lunch today. I think it came out delicious, but this doesn’t work super well with pizzas because the crust burnt within two minutes under the broiler.
Love: That they’re chewy! That the morning flava is sweet. Expansion! I think they expand in my stomach and make me super full after. (Some might put this in the don’t love category.)
Don’t love: That they cost so much. They’re difficult to actually eat as a wrap since they’re thick.
Question: What would you wrap?
Bonus points if you say a present for me.

i’d probably hold off on baking or broiling them.you are paying for a RAW/unprocessed product..to baking it kinda kills all of the enzymes that you are paying for. Stick with hummus, nut butters, sunflower /almond seed pate, salad, etc…on these babies…and keep them out of the oven…lol..just sayin’
Susan says
Ha! My husband would have said the same thing that Ben said.
Yadi says
I love using wraps to make sandwich type stuff, but that is a bit steep for my wallet. Maybe when I win the lottery… maybe 🙂
I love your Natalie Dee choice!
LosingLindy says
I would probably be with Ben
Ashley says
I just started buying the brown rice tortillas instead of whole wheat and I think that that’s as far as I plan to go wrap wise.
FamilyFitnessandFooderdy says
I am only going to be able to swing buying three wraps for eight bucks if it is tax deductible….and it’s not. So I will be sticking with my Frontier Wheatberry. I think that about “wraps” it up.
Sarah G. says
Love me some wraps but $8 for 3? Yikes!
Angela says
Those are expensive. We can’t get these in Texas so I would have to buy a case of 6 for $42!!! I need to find that rich uncle to support this habit. But I do want to try them, I wish I would have found them when I was there for RnR SD!
I would wrap up peanut butter, strawberries and bananas while singing a song that would annoy my husband!
Shannon in Tustin says
Laughing at Ben’s remark! I would probably dip it something yummy (guac–that’s vegan, right?)
PS: you’ll never catch $8 wraps in my shopping cart!
Helen says
Spicy pizza sounds great but I like hummus more
Ashley @ Eat Run Live Happy says
I wouldn’t ever think just by looking at them, that they would taste good. Which is why I read blogs before I spend my money 😉
So thank you… you do deserve a wrapped present. But sorry… those wraps won’t fit into my budget this week.
Elizabeth @ Positive Changes says
I love a good turkey, lettuce and tomato with mustard wrap! Just typing that made me hungry for lunch!
Jojo says
Haha doesn’t baking them to make pizza kind of defeat the whole “raw” thing?
I would fill the breakfast-y wrap with almond butter, banana, strawberries, and a bit of granola. Maybe a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Sue says
Hummus or guacamole with pine nuts with the usual lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber with a dash of flake crushed dry chillies and black pepper.
Ashley G says
My husband has been kindly rejecting my vegan leanings (leaning because I’m not remotely strict… I eat bacon….), and I can totally hear him saying what Ben said.
I’d (w)rap like Biggie.
Glenn says
I would do my egg white, spinach, and turkey wraps in them, but only if I can submit the receipt for the wraps to my flexible spending account. That is expensive.
jonelle says
I’m allergic to basically everything that can be made into any sort of bread-type substance. Totally checking these out. Thanks. Tell Ben not to feel sorry for us. We adapt 😉
Presley @ Run Pretty says
a whole bunch of lyrics just popped in my head. clearly I’m thinking of the wrong “rap”. i really suck at answering questions…
runeatrepeat says
Ha! Feel free to rap here anytime 😉
Susan says
That was the “rap” word that popped into my head too!
Anna {Herbivore Triathlete} says
Holy shiitake! Those are some expensive wraps! I bet someone with a food dehydrator could make those, I however, am not that ambitious nor do I have a food dehydrator!
runeatrepeat says
Me either 🙂
CATHY says
fitnessita probably could. She’s handy with the dehydrater!
Ashley says
Obviously a present for you 🙂
I’d probably wrap up some hummus and tofu, ya know, embrace the vegan. I’m always looking for carby bread/wrap alternatives but that price point is definitely a bit on the high side.
