Kale Nutrition Facts

As you’ll already know from visiting my blog before, kale is an absolute powerhouse of nutrition and I recommend getting lots of it into your diet! With these wraps you get a whole cup into your body before the day has even really begun!

This little leaf is full of so many antioxidants, not to mention high amounts of vitamins A, C and K.

What’s Good About Basil?

The addition of basil to this recipe compliments the existing flavour, and provides an additional dose of goodness. This herb has quite a distinct aroma and contains beneficial amounts of vitamin K, manganese and magnesium!

Growing basil at home for yourself is so easy to do. You can more than likely grab yourself a plant from your local supermarket with your weekly shop. This will mean that you always have fresh basil to hand, and also that your kitchen will be full of the delicious smell this herb is loved for.

Kale and Tomato Breakfast Wraps

To make this dish for two people you will need the following ingredients:

• 2 cups of fresh kale
• 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 1/2 a medium avocado, mashed
• The juice of half a lemon
• 2 tablespoons of fresh basil
• 2 whole-wheat tortillas

Method:

The first step is to heat the coconut oil in a skillet and then fry the onion and tomato at a medium heat. While this is cooking, you can take the tortillas and spread the mashed avocado over each one.

Once the onions have started to brown, remove the contents of the pan and spoon onto the tortillas. Add half of the lemon juice to each tortilla with the basil, and then place the kale on top. Fold the tortillas and serve – it’s as simple as that!
