# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You can make it while your coffee is still hot, which feels like cheating when you end up with something genuinely nourishing.
  • No mayo means no guilt, but the lemon and mustard do something special that makes you forget you're missing it.
  • High protein and fiber keep you satisfied through that weird 3 p.m. slump without the crash.
02 -
  • The greens-as-a-barrier trick is the difference between a crisp, enjoyable wrap and a soggy disappointment—don't skip this step even if it feels extra.
  • If you let these sit in the dressing too long before wrapping, everything becomes mushy and loses its personality; assemble right before eating for best results.
03 -
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or dill are incredible scattered through here if you have them—they add brightness that makes the whole thing feel more restaurant-quality.
  • A tiny pinch of red pepper flakes gives it an unexpected kick that makes people ask what you did differently.
