An adventurous morning with Egg-wraps and Skyr.

in #life6 years ago

Who the thought I could get inspired at the sandwich department of my local supermarket.

About two weeks ago I was in pinch (starving) and saw this genius idea.

The egg-wrap.

It's a cold omelette used as a wrap instead of one made from carbs.

I bought one and it was delicious.

Fantastic!

Today I made one myself and it's as simple as you would expect.

I filled mine with some avocado and a good splash of hot sauce.

It should keep me going for a while.

I also had my first taste of Skyr.

Icelandic yogurt....

It's a little higher in protein (2g) then the regular low fat Dutch stuff I normally buy.

It's also Icelandishly priced at almost 3x as much.

I didn't know what to expect...That iceberg on that beautiful package had gotten my hopes up for sure. So fresh!

I also liked the name of the product.

It sounds like Thor's Icelandic cousin.

SKYR! The god of Yogurt.

But it all came grumbling down when I had my first bite.

It just tasted like yoghurt.

Don't get me wrong it was nice. But it was yogurt.

Expensive yogurt for people that want to say they eat Skyr.

After I finish the two containers I bought I'm pack to my regular stuff 100%.

I rather throw what I will save into Steem :)

And now I'm off to the gym!

I have a hard time decided about Yogurt.
I like the one with fruit at the bottom.
Some got cereal.
Thanks for sharing.

Egg wraps looks delicious!

I've tried a couple of brands of skyr and brand definitely makes a difference. We have one in the States called Siggi's that is like yogurt and cream cheese had a love child (the plain, anyway, I like plain yogurts). It's SO GOOD. But another brand pretty much tastes like thick yogurt. :) It's not bad, it's just not the party in my mouth that is Siggi's.

Siggi sounds yummy! None of that in Canada tho.

You made a quick breakfast by making this small and easy delicious.

It just tasted like yoghurt.

lol that made me laugh! Wasn’t it supposed to taste like one? I do completely understand. It was too expansive, so your expectation was above just a taste of yogurt.

Egg Wraps 1 Skyr 0, Egg Wraps Win the World Cup...........@exyle

My god, skyr! I discovered it a few years ago and there's no turning back. Yogurt, go to bed.

Nutrition and nutritionists are totally full of digested expensive fad foods. I suspect your body will ask for more sooner rather than later. It is a puzzle. Good luck.

Good for you! For giving something new a try. I hope your workout was awesome!

"It's also Icelandishly priced at almost 3x as much."

Exactly, but it's a great product, so I think it's okay priced. ;)

That egg wrap is a clever idea to cut out the carbs and as for the.
"SKYR! The god of Yogurt lol"
At three times the price! I'd pass too :)

Those egg wraps look like a great idea @exyle. I think I might try one for breakfast with avocado, bacon and cheese. 😁

I don't think it was worth the extra money for just 2% more protein and the same yoghurt flavour. On the plus side., you learned something...just because something is expensive doesn't mean it is better! I had never heard of the omelette wrap, but I will be trying to make this one for sure!

I am surprised you didnt mention the Steem Monster Market :)

I hope you had a tasty breakfast fast.yoghurt is a healthy diet.but sandwich is not looking tasty to me..but I think it will also help you loosing your weight.

nice recipe @exyle. the dish is very easy to make and looks yummy too. i thought you were famous for the grilled pork but this egg wrap is good too. nice delicacy along with skyr and hot sauce.

nice sandwich ..........................................i love to eat sandwich

Looks like healthy option
Will try this

Beautiful looking healthy wrap... Must be delicious...

hum @exle I already want one they look so delicious, I hope you've enjoyed it
happy and blessed day

Looks like we have here some talent to fast meals :D

that's so healthy and yummy too very interesting :D

These items are not found here. Have you tried king chilli??

Hmm this new egg wrap with some hot sauce and skyr is a great recipe for times when you get hungry and there's nothing to make. Pretty easy and efficient. Thanks for sharing. I will try this one.

In the just the past couple of years I have started eating Greek yogurt because it was the new fad thing, but I have really found myself enjoying it. One of the best parts of my morning now is having my yogurt with some granola. It is a great treat to keep me going in the morning!
