The Super Foodie :: Napa Cabbage Wraps

I’m obsessed with these cabbage wraps not only because I think they’re so beautiful, but because they’re incredibly tasty and satisfying. I attribute that in large part to the peanut dipping sauce which is salty, packed with flavor and such a treat. They’re delicious…that’s really what you need to know!

In addition to being wildly yummy, these wraps are loaded with cancer fighting antioxidants and vitamins. The rainbow of colored vegetables ensures that you’ll receive a huge boost of nutrition with every bite! Cabbage is anti-inflammatory, carrots and bell peppers are loaded with Vitamin C and cucumber rehydrates your body while giving you a boost of B Vitamins. Basically these are a brilliant way to treat your body kindly. I hope you love!
