With just five simple ingredients, these tasty and filling keto caprese salad roll ups turn lunch into a party! The flavor jumps from the plate!
What Is Caprese Salad
Just like the name implies, Caprese salad is Italian. It’s usually made with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and fresh basil. Some people like to add balsamic glaze to it, but it’s traditionally seasoned with just salt and olive oil.
I stayed as close to the classic recipe as I could while also making something that is low in carbs and so filling that you can eat it for lunch.
Caprese Roll Ups
After discovering how easy it is to turn shredded cheese into a zero-carb wrap, I knew I had to make a Caprese wrap with them!
There are just 2 grams net carbs in each roll up. They are bursting with fresh flavor. And all those flavors taste even better when you use fresh food from the farmer’s market or your backyard garden.
I filled my roll-ups with pesto sauce and used baby spinach instead of sweet basil leaves. If you have an herb garden, try it with a few basil leaves. You’ll love how that turns out!
Even though Caprese salad is usually meat-free, I added some turkey meat. This made them a perfect lunch item and so much more filling.
Easy Roll Ups
Roll ups makes the best lunch, breakfast, snack, or appetizer. There is no wrong time or way to eat a roll up. In fact, keto pizza roll ups are a wonderful thing to make for a pizza party!
If you have a favorite flavor or type of food, you can probably find a way to turn it into a tasty roll-up or wrap.
These caprese roll-ups are the perfect things to add to your weekly meal prep. Store them in an airtight food storage container and keep them in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Keto Lunch
Add these roll-ups to your lunch menu, there are light, filling, and super-easy to make. Grab a glass of keto sweet tea and a bowl of keto TikTok hot girl chicken salad. You’ll feel so full and satisfied, without the bloated blah feeling from eating unhealthy foods.
If you’d rather stick to the finger food theme, make some pizza pepper poppers to go with your roll ups. Even kids love them.
Baked Cheese Wraps
Mozzarella is the best type of cheese to use as wraps. It melts perfectly and is easy to use after it’s melted. If you have time, I suggest shredded the mozzarella cheese.
Store-bought shredded cheese will work, but it has added anti-caking ingredients in it. If eating clean, whole foods is important to you, then I suggest avoiding pre-shredded cheese.
