Have a pile of yummy stuff to eat, but no fork? A sandwich or wrap makes sense, but if you’re avoiding breads, tortillas, pita pockets and other carbohydrates, getting that food into your mouth can be tricky.  My Paleo, Keto, Low-Carb Egg Wraps make a smart swap for bread-like products – they have no carbs, no grains, no gluten, and no weird taste and texture like some of those alternative bread products around.
