Like wraps? Avoiding carbs, corn, or gluten? Wrap your dinner in a collard green.
Raw collard greens are sturdy, hold everything without breaking, and are insanely good for you. Eat some collard greens and increase your phytonutrient intake by one-million percent. OK, I’m exaggerating — but not by much. Here are just some of the things I’ve wrapped in this cruciferous vegetable:
- Egg scramble
- Tofu scramble
- A bison burger
- A grass-fed hamburger
- A spicy chicken sausage
- Keema (a ground lamb dish with Indian spices)
- Pumpkin pancakes and dark chocolate (weird, I know, but oddly edible)

I completely agree with the comment above. Following a whole foods plant-based diet (vegan, without processed grains or oils) has been shown in numerous studies to improve health and prevent disease. Lifetime seems to promote the paleo diet almost exclusively. I, too, would like to see a more balanced approach.
Good Thought. Got to try this for fajitas – steak steak chicken and more meat. Keep the good meat recipes coming. Tom
Love most of what I see in Experience Life but would really like to see more emphasis on veganism for health, animals and environment. The widespread negative impact of animal agriculture is well established, so I was disappointed to see this recipe suggestion that only had 2 out of 7 as being vegan; and 1 suggestion including a baby (lamb) as an ingredient. evolve.com But thank you for all the good stuff you have 🙂
