Healthy Holiday Leftover Recipe
I think we all can agree that we love Holiday leftovers!! For our December video the Alvarado Street Bakery YouTube Channel I shared how to take leftovers, such as mashed sweet potatoes & cranberry sauce, and make a delicious wrap! I love Alvarado Street Bakery’s Sprouted & USDA Organic Tortillas because they taste great (obviously important!) but they also roll up really easily. If you’ve been enjoying “healthier” tortillas for years like me you know that some healthier tortillas are dry & crack when they roll up! Alvarado Street Bakery Tortillas as not like the others… plus they have protein, fiber & are made with sprouted wheat! The benefits of consuming sprouted wheat, versus traditional wheat flour, is that sprouted grains can be easier to digest & it’s easier to absorb some of the nutrients!
