Ingredients for Greek-inspired Veggie Wraps

Preparation Steps
Start by preparing the low-GI fillings. Mix Greek yogurt with chopped herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful, healthy spread. This will serve as a base for your wraps.
Lay out the whole grain wraps on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the yogurt mixture over each wrap. Add fresh vegetables—cucumbers, tomatoes, onions—and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and sliced olives.
Top with a few spinach or lettuce leaves for added crunch and nutrition. Fold the sides of the wrap inward and roll tightly to enclose the fillings.
