Video - Healthy Snack Wrap Recipe

Here is a really tasty-looking snack wrap, which is healthy and super easy to make. You can add many different kinds of vegetables - whatever you like or have on hand, but I would always recommend chopping them yourself - not buying cut or grated veggies like she mentions in the video. Almost all vegetables (and fruits) begin to oxidize and lose nutrition quickly as soon as they are cut, so you don't want to buy cut veggies that have been sitting in the store for several days - most of the nutrients will already be gone. Instead choose whole veggies, and use a food processor if you like, to quickly chop or grate small amounts as needed. This way you are getting the full nutritional content of the vegetable.

And of course, for the most nutrition possible, grow your own, or buy local at a farmer's market or CSA, to get them as close to harvest as possible!

Enjoy - this made me hungry just watching!
