Healthy, because
Spinach is one of the top suppliers of folic acid along with kale and lamb's lettuce. This is not only important for the formation of red blood cells, but also for cell growth and reproduction. In addition, green power vegetables contain around 3.5 to 4.1 milligrams of iron per 100 grams.
Even smarter
You can vary the fillings according to your taste. Instead of cream cheese, you can also use ricotta or crushed avocado. For the vegetablesm you can also use slices of cucumber, radishes, or arugula. Make sure the topping is not too juicy, otherwise the wraps will soak through.
