Nori Wrap
Adequate protein consumption is important in pregnancy and postpartum. It supports motivation, focus, and energy; however, when I work with clients, it’s common for a mumma to be undereating this important macronutrient.
I’m a big fan of non-traditional breakfasts, and this is an easy-to-throw-together breakfast, lunch, or snack idea. The other day, I made two of these wraps for lunch with approximately 50 grams of turkey in each wrap.
Mums or mums-to-be should be aiming to get around 80g of protein, give or take. It depends on your bodyweight, breastfeeding, trimester, etc., but as a very general suggestion, aim for 80 grams of protein per day.
So in two of these wraps, there is 100g of turkey, which is 20g of protein. So that being said, you need to consume 20 grams of protein four times a day, spread out between your meals and snacks. If you are not doing this, you may not be eating enough protein for the day.
Ingredients:
2 sheets of Nori
100g of preservative-free turkey or any protein (salmon, chicken, duck, et cetera)
Sliced avocado
*option: pickled ginger or wasabi
Method:
Place the nori sheet on a plate.
Layer your ingredients.
Roll and enjoy!
