Happy New Year!

It’s New Year’s resolutions time. Instead of thinking in terms of “all-or-nothing” resolutions, we prefer intentions, or ongoing efforts, towards things you want in your life. Three of the most common intentions are eating healthy, getting organized and saving money.

Here we offer tips to start your New Year off right!

Eat Healthy – Look for fiber-rich foods to help keep you feeling fuller longer. The recommended daily intake of fiber is 25g per day, yet the average American is only getting 16g. By eating just one Low Carb High Fiber tortilla, you fulfill half of your daily requirement! Here’s to kicking that mid-afternoon snack habit.

Get Organized – After the chaos of the holidays, we’re all looking for ways to get our life back in order. Sit down on Sunday and figure out what you’re going to eat for the week. Look for ingredients that can be used in a variety of dishes, like bagged salad mix, beans and of course – tortillas.

Save Money – Hang around an office at lunchtime and you’ll find a smorgasbord of lunch habits. Taking your lunch to work not only saves you money, but also saves you the excess calories hidden in take-out and restaurant foods. In fact, it even saves you time. Grab a quick bite, and then get outside for a brisk walk. Come 3pm, you’ll be glad you did.

Try this make-ahead low-carb turkey and hummus wrap. It bursts with flavor at only a fraction of the calories of takeout. Save your lunch money for a healthy treat!
