- Arrange a handful of baby spinach or mixed greens down the center of the wrap.

- Repeat with the remaining wraps and fillings.
- For best results, slice each wrap in half diagonally before packing.
Tips for Perfect Travel Wraps
- Prep Ahead: These wraps are fantastic for meal prepping! Assemble them the night before your trip, wrap tightly in parchment paper or foil, and store in the fridge.
- Keep it Fresh: Pack your wraps in durable, airtight containers like glass containers or Stasher bags to prevent them from getting soggy or squished.
