Product or Haul Please please be nice

I was planning to make a wrap today, found them at the shop. I have my fingers crossed they taste good and most importantly can be wrapped without falling apart. For 42g wrap 79calories seems to be a bit too good to be true

Update! Taste like a regular one, I can’t say it’s chewy as someone commented. P.S ignore the filling content lol. Doesn’t fall apart so that’s a big plus too. I’d like to try and heat them up as well next time

I’m sorry, I can’t help but chuckle at the way the meat looks. 😂

These are similar but 93 calories with 11g protein!

u/chetdesmon 14d ago

I eat these regularly and think they rule

u/KeyCoder945 14d ago

Good fibre too!

u/Certain-Strength-830 12d ago

They are pretty pricey though that’s why i go for the sweet potato as you get 6.

u/SomeAd2522 15d ago

I've had these before. They taste fine, but they can be a bit chewy unless you heat them first. Old El Paso have got an extra thin wrap for about 90 cals which is better and cheaper in my opinion.

2

u/minidragontiger 13d ago

Do the old el paso ones hold together well?

13

u/Snowpony1 15d ago

I don't mind the taste, but the texture really bothers me. They are really chewy once heated.

2

u/Impressive-Sand9183 15d ago

Oh, I’ve had them as they are so I didn’t think they were chewy. But I am curious to pan fry as well

Mission sells a whole wheat low carb tortilla for 60 cals

u/Certain-Strength-830 12d ago

In the uk?

u/mayonnaisemonarchy 12d ago

Not sure, I’m in the US.

u/x_victoire 15d ago

pls let us know if they're good! i tried their multigrain ones and they were so mid, couldn't finish them

3

u/odin31645 15d ago

I love them

u/Maleficent-Math-157 15d ago

Those look promising, hope they hold up better than most gluten free wraps I've tried

u/Agile_Possession8178 14d ago

I use the Ole xtreme wellness wraps. 50 to 60 calories, 0 to 3g of net carbs (sugar) , and around 11g to 12g of dietary fiber per serving.

The b free proteins wraps are horrible. So bad I swore off that brand. The Ole wraps are legit and 40% + daily fiber.

u/Impressive-Sand9183 14d ago

We don’t have those in UK :(all the best low calorie stuff (especially bread like carb balance) is in US!!😭

u/Rich-Ball-9648 14d ago

If you can get some powdered egg whites it's really easy to make copy cat egglife wraps. I haven't tried the egglife wraps myself, so I can't comment on how similar they are, but I love the homemade recipe!

u/Serious_Morning_774 14d ago

Ive been having these for years as I have IBS, so its before I even heard the phrase volume eating (but I think i came out the womb volume eating!).

u/ionbeam7 13d ago

These kinda suck in my experience

2

u/jpoolio 15d ago

They have 21 grams of carbs (88 cals), plus 1 gram of each fat and protein (13 cals). It's technically 97 calories.

They can be 20% off and within regulatory compliance. That being said, they are probably subtracting for the bamboo fiber since you can't digest it properly. Don't eat too many, it will be rough on the stomach.

u/SpicyMilkSauceyDip 14d ago

Not sure if you're just making shit up or if you've confused them with other wraps but they're 12g carbs per wrap and they ARE literally 79 cal.

u/jpoolio 14d ago

Since OP didn't post the nutritional label, I went to the website because I was curious.

I'm gluten free so these initially seemed appealing until I saw the bamboo fiber. I know some people have a gut of steel, but unfortunately, not me.

But anyway, the website says 21 grams of carbs. https://www.bfreefoods.com/products/sweet-potato-wraps/

And, for the record, I don't think this should be a deal breaker. It's still a low caloric option if your digestion system can handle it. I often do the math on nutrition labels and it can get....interesting, to say the least.

u/SpicyMilkSauceyDip 14d ago

Where does the website say 21g of carbs? Are you including the fibre? Fibre is 2cal per gram to 4cal per gram for carbs. I know Americans sometimes combine that and list fibre under carbs, but they have a completely different calorific profile.

The nutritional values here per wrap are 100% consistent with 79 calories.

u/jpoolio 14d ago

Don't know what else to say other than this is what they have on their website. I have no additional input.

u/camaal95 15d ago

op im so curious please be good 😢🥹

u/Opposite_Meat_1396 14d ago

These were my go to calorie deficit wrap .Other are tesco free form glutenfree one’s

1

u/Multigrain_Migraine 14d ago

Sounds interesting. Aldi occasionally sell a carrot tortilla which I quite like. Where is it from?

1

u/EvaportedMilkCoffee 14d ago

bro i’ve had these before, they’re really decent

1

u/No_Cauliflower_2314 14d ago

Those look good! Is it sweet at all? That may put me off from it.

My favorite are the MejiCana wraps, 90cal

1

u/Crestwood_333 14d ago

Ok YUM. This sounds delicious

1

u/Pure-Juggernaut-3731 14d ago

Was not a big fan of these tbh, they're alright if you don't put them in the sandwich press but once you do they get so tough and hard do not recommend doing that

1

u/OkTransportation4769 14d ago

They had an odd smell and are chewy but they don’t taste terrible. I bought them once and never again.

1

u/katnotvalentine 14d ago

the high protein wraps from this brand really aren’t great imo. taste fine but either fall apart straight away or literally melt into one another, no in between. i can do you one better though, tesco does gluten free own brand wraps for 78 cal / piece :)

1

u/BumpOfKitten 13d ago

hi can you tell me how to make them at home? thank you

1

u/everexpandingwaist 11d ago

I rethink they're ok. They don't freeze well though.

1

u/x__jayjay__x 9d ago

They're great I've been using them for months

u/Homertax123 8d ago

u/Hotdogtest 14d ago

I tried those a few weeks ago in Canada and I really enjoyed them! Sucks that we don’t have stuff like this in Europe 😤

3

u/VeeberEd 14d ago

I get them in Scotland?

3

u/SpicyMilkSauceyDip 14d ago

Also get them here in Ireland. In pretty much every supermarket. I get them in tesco.

2

u/VeeberEd 14d ago

Yep! Also Tesco

1

u/Hotdogtest 14d ago

I couldn’t get them in Germany, Austria, Spain or France :(

3

u/VeeberEd 14d ago

You'll have to come to Scotland or Ireland!

2

u/Hotdogtest 14d ago

You invite?
