Looking for a delicious, light picnic lunch or dinner that you don’t have to wash on or eat with a fork yet is still super filling because it’s a macro meal? Look no farther! Forkless Shawarma Lettuce Wraps are a great easy grab-‘n-go macro meal for busy summer days when I’m carpooling everywhere and want to have a salad but don’t have time to sit with a bowl and a fork. This has all the macros: protein from chicken, healthy fats from tahini, fiber from veggies, and fiber, starch, and a little extra protein from the chickpeas. I love throwing chickpeas in as my starch component as much as I can. Aside from being a healthy carb, they have extra fiber and protein, making them a carb that is very good for blood sugar. Watch me make these delicious, nutritious lunch wraps here!
1/2 teaspoon Gefen Allspice
pinch of cardamom
pinch of cinnamon
1 and 1/2 teaspoons coriander
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Combine the spices and place in a mason jar or old spice container.

Using a hand blender, blend until smooth. If needed, add more water until you reach your desired consistency.
