Friday Fun Find Pure Wraps and Almond Cheese!
I hate posting iPhone pictures--like, loathe it--but sometimes, you have to put aside your personal preferences for the greater good. And today, the greater good is sharing two amazing, potentially life changing finds with yall. At 2 PM on a Friday. Im off my blog game a bit. But guys. Its worth it.
I dont even remember how I stumbled upon Pure Wraps, but the important thing is that I did. They make eating wraps possible on a paleo or gluten free diet. Theyre made entirely out of coconut meat and coconut water. Thats IT. And yeah, youd be totally right to be skeptical--do they taste like coconut? Do they hold up well? Do they have a weird texture? All fair and reasonable concerns. Weve been burned by many a fraudulent paleo sandwich/wrap option in the past (i.e., breads made with nut flours), but these, my friends, are the real deal. Theres only 4 in a package and at $4.99 a pop, cheap they are not, but its a great option if you really feel a hankerin for a wrap/sandwich (I bought them online here but they do have availability at stores throughout the US, just check their website). I made a prosciutto and apple wrap with my homemade mayo for Kyle the other night. We were both over the moon with the results! You could even make a quesadilla with these bad boys!
"But Melissa, we cant eat cheese on Paleo...duh!" Au contraire my friends, for I found this today at Whole Foods in the vegan/dairy/egg free refrigerated section.
Nuked in the microwave for 10 second intervals--about 30 seconds total.
And its melty, cheesy goodness!!!
DAMN, look at that cheese!!!
Has anyone tried either of these products? What did you think? Do you know of other paleo versions of foods like these worth trying?

Similar to the vegan recipes for cashew cheese, this packaged cheese is made from almonds! Its gluten and lactose free, and just as the package suggests, its melts! Here, let me prove it to you:
Just a plain ol slice of cheese, just hangin out.
Thinly sliced strips layered on the aforementioned Pure Wrap and my homemade mayo, because why not.
I just wanted to see if the package claims were true, otherwise, I would have gussied things up a bit, maybe with some sauteed onions, grilled chicken, cilantro, and salsa and had myself a burrito!
The only catch? There is a scant amount of brown rice flour in the cheese, so I wouldnt advise it if youre doing strict paleo (not that I said I was doing that or anything JUST YESTERDAY!), but as a dairy-free option in a dairy-free paleo/primal diet, its a great option to avoid undoing all your good intentions.
