Tasty lettuce wraps recipe | vegan & low-carb

So we had a week of not so great discoveries this far…oh and we're just realizing it’s Valentine’s Day! Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Today, instead of red velvet cake we’re eating some garlic, which is also an aphrodisiac, so we’re doing well.

So, this week we decided to make some blood tests and it turns out… we're sitting here, eating healthy most of the time, exercising, but at the same time we're suffering from vitamin D deficiency we hadn’t even noticed.

We've been going out for walks, been making sure to stay in the sun for 30 minutes a day, but we guess it’s not enough. We also had been taking a vitamin D supplement last year, but not regularly. So now, we're taking a supplement, making sure to go out for our daily walks, even though apparently they don’t do much and we also decided to start eating fish more often, 2-3 times a week (fish is one of the few foods that contains vitamin D).

It wasn’t a reliable news, but you know what? We were kinda relieved. We're not trying to be dramatic or a weirdo from the 90’s, but it felt good to know why we're feeling tired and have back and neck pain all the time. We were also relieved that it’s not all our fault. It also gave us hope, that maybe we don’t have to keep being tired and in pain for the years to come even if we skip our Pilates or don’t keep a strict diet.

What a depressing little story, right? Happy Valentine’s Day to you too! Man we hope this supplement works fast and we get back to being a fun person again.

Obviously we're not sharing this boring story because we want to be a party pooper, but because this made us realize on another level, just how important it is to know of any nutritional deficiencies, since it’s simple to correct these. On the other hand, it’s also simple to confuse deficiencies with serious diseases. It’s a shame that these kinds of tests aren’t done regularly and people are treated with a ton of wrong medications to simply mask symptoms. So if you have any health complaints, make sure to exclude nutrient deficiencies, that’s all we're saying.

And you thought we're just going to share a recipe for healthy wraps, here. See how we can all be wrong?

Anyway, let’s get back to these lettuce wraps, because they’re simple, light and have a lot of flavor. You only need a food processor to cook them.

We seasoned them with some tamari sauce and added toasted sesame seeds, because we were craving Asian flavors.

These anti-inflammatory wraps are full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and healthy fats. They’re also great if you want to cut back on carbs and on animal products. We hope you enjoy them!
