I’m fully aware of the need for simple, quick meals after a long workout or outdoor adventure. Sometimes cooking from scratch is just not an option, and we all need those healthy go-to items to build a nourishing meal that will help our bodies recover and refuel.

The 365 Everyday Value® line as well as the Engine 2® Plant-Strong® items are some of my trusty favorites. The Engine 2® Brown Rice tortillas here are wonderful, packed with healthy ingredients such as brown rice, ground almonds, chia and flax seeds. These make for a delicious gluten free wrap or quesadilla.
