Salmon Asparagus Wraps
Your daily boost of essential fatty acids all neatly wrapped up in a tasty and convenient meal.
Why we love it:
Asparagus is a low-calorie source of folate, potassium, and vitamin C. It also contains fructooligosaccharides (FOS), which promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon and the stalk is packed full of antioxidants.
Sunflower seeds contain vitamin E, a potent antioxidant, copper, which is an important mineral for maintaining hair, skin, bone, and joint health, magnesium, and monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
