Collard wraps are a great portable raw food staple. This recipe, collard wraps with almond celery paté, is one of my favorites. Raw collard greens are crunchy and substantial, perhaps not everyone’s taste, but I love them. Some people find that the sugars and fiber in raw greens cause gas and bloating. If you are not 100% raw, you may prefer to lightly blanch the leaves in salted boiling water for a more digestible wrap. For more details visit The Kitchenista Diaries.
This wrap includes a sweet and savory almond celery paté, but any nut or vegetable spread will work. The options are endless. Changing the nuts, the dried fruit and the herbs create a different flavor profile.
Try this waldorf paté, raw almond cheese with sundried tomato and basil, our spicy sweet potato hummus, or this spreadable cheese with the collards. It may sound boring but the paté is unbelievably delicious!
