What is Lavash Bread?
Lavash bread is a thin flatbread originating in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions. Its thin and flexible texture, similar to that of a tortilla, makes it great for wraps and pizzas.
The brand I use, Joseph’s Bakery, is a great healthy option as it’s made with flax, oat bran, and whole wheat. It’s also low in calories and carbs with only 60 calories and 6 net carbs per serving. A serving is 1/2 flatbread.
This meal makes a great light lunch loaded up with lots of protein and veggie toppings or served alongside a hearty salad for a more filling meal.
