I’ve realized that as long as I have good music or something to watch on TV, I can run for hours. Yeah, running on a treadmill.  . not the best option, but the only option for me here in Wisconsin right now. No one told me the snow stays on the ground from the first big snow fall until March (sometimes April).

Maybe people purposely do not disclose that for obvious reasons. But now I know.

Anyway . . . good music, mindless, entertaining reality TV and my fave movies that I can watch over and over again, keep me going.

It’s time, folks.

Time to get back into a healthier routine. Time to start an exercise routine of some sort if you don’t do anything now. And it’s not about losing weight. It’s about being healthy, having energy and being your best self.

Those endorphins you get while exercising are real my friends. They are very real.

After I run, I’m usually famished. So instead of rewarding myself with a slice of chocolate cake, I’m kidding. .  today, I’m making one of these power wraps.

Packed with protein-rich tofu, a ton of raw veggies and my favorite Asian dressing, these are hella delicious and will give you nothing to feel guilty about. So, those 3-4 miles I just ran? I’m still burning those calories and feeling good.

These wraps are super easy to make. Just prep and slice all of your veggies (you can even do this the day before and leave them in your fridge), pan fry some tofu, slice and lay all of the ingredients into your whole wheat tortilla and roll it up, starting from one end to the other. Pack in as much, or as little as you want.

Tofu Spinach Power Wrap

I'm providing two other dressing options below this recipe card. For the tofu, if you're feeling really Asian, sprinkle some furikake on your tofu after you have pan fried.
Course: Main
Servings: 2
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

For the dressing:

  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • roasted sesame seeds optional

For the wraps:

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 container extra firm tofu; drained rinsed, pressed with paper towels and sliced into 1-inch thick slices
  • 2 large sized whole wheat soft tortillas
  • 1 carrot peeled and julienned
  • 1 cucumber julienned
  • 1/2 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • red cabbage thinly sliced
  • 3 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 2 cups alfalfa sprouts
  • Sriracha sauce optional

Instructions

For the dressing:

  • Using a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, honey and sesame oil. Taste and adjust ingredients as needed. Sprinkle on some sesame seeds and set aside.

For the wraps:

  • Using a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu slices and cook on each side until nicely browned and crispy, for about 5 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and slice into strips.
  • Working with your whole wheat tortilla on a clean, flat surface (you can also warm up your tortilla if preferred) lay in the tofu strips and all of the cut veggies, starting with the carrots, cucumbers, red bell pepper strips and red cabbage. Next, lay the spinach on top and add the alfalfa sprouts on the side. Add the dressing on top and roll the tortilla closed, starting from one end and rolling to the other end. Slice and serve with extra dressing on the side and sriracha sauce for a kick.

 

Two more dressing options:

  1. For something spicier: 1/4 cup gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste), 1 tablespoon honey and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Whisk together all of the ingredients, taste and adjust anything as needed. Sprinkle on some roasted sesame seeds and enjoy.
  2. For a miso option: 4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce, 1 heaping tablespoon honey, ½ teaspoon miso paste, pinch of freshly grated ginger, 1 garlic clove minced. Whisk together all of the ingredients, taste and adjust anything as needed. Sprinkle on some roasted sesame seeds and enjoy.

    Alice – your pictures of this wrap are so gorgeous they completely distracted me from salivating over that chocolate cake you mentioned (yes, I am THAT person that starts drooling at the mere mention of chocolate)! This wrap is even better than a protein shake to me! Love the color and that dressing!

    I need to use you as my inspiration to running on a treadmill – I get so distracted and hop off and then hop back on – gah! I will be back on Monday to check out your giveaway of a 3-day Fresh Start Cleanse from Suja Juice! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Stay Warm!

    It’s about “being your best self.” Well said – I’m tired of focusing on the weight loss and ready to just focus on being my very best, with energy so I can let my light shine in this world. And…my lunchtime eating habits are terrible – this would be a great way to nourish myself mid-day. I’ll let you know how it goes.

    I know that if I ever get into running, you will be the one I call for sure. I have tried and just can’t seem to get into it but maybe I need to try music. This looks like one power meal to keep you going for hours. Pinned.

    Totally agree, it’s all about being healthy and feeling your best. These wraps look perfect for fueling up after a workout. Love the tofu and all the veggies you packed in here! All three dressing options you gave sound amazing!

    hahah no one tells you for a reason. Did I tell you I got recruited to attend college in MN and no one told me it snowed? All the pictures they showed me were summer and beautiful. And then I got there and I was like WHOA! It’s like cold from November to April! Anyway this wrap looks amazing!! Thanks for the extra dressing options too. I have leftover Korean hot paste and was wondering what to do with it!

    That’s one beautiful wrap, Alice! Love the colors. I’m not a huge tofu eater. I buy a container, use a little for the recipe, and the rest goes bad. I should probably gather a few tofu recipes before I buy it. That list starts with this wrap.

    Haha, I am the total opposite. I HATE running with such a passion… unless I’m chasing something, like a ball, and it distracts me from what is actually happening. Lol. These wraps are perfect for recovering from holiday sugar comas!

    I am right there with you trying to get back to a nice balance and back to healthy. I’ve been trying to find a way to use my exercise bike (our treadmill is out of commission), but I just can’t get in the groove so I’ve been going back to my Jillian Michaels kickboxing DVDs. It’s such a PIA to get started working out, but once it’s over it’s like you can rule the world! Especially if I have a power wrap like this after. Yum

    I (finally!) got back on my elliptical after all the holiday dust has settled, and it felt so good! Those endorphins are no joke 😉 And the last thing I want to do after that is ruin all my hard work with an unhealthy meal. These wraps are perfect, and that dressing sounds amazing!

    Oh how I wish I could get into running. I’ve tried numerous times but I just really hate it. LOL. Now give me a stair machine and I’ll stay on it for 45 minutes. LOVE those things. So since I don’t go to a gym and I don’t have however many thousands of dollars a nice stair machine costs, I go out walking and I’ve been doing weights and toning exercises at my house. Feeling better already and trying to make it not just be a phase this time!

    Totally digging these healthy wraps, Alice! I need to make some of these for lunches during the week!

    Yes, I decided I definitely have to step up my game in the fitness department. These rolls are my kind of food, Alice! Love the vibrant colors and browning the tofu first (with a liberal sprinkling of furikake for me) makes it double delish!

    Haha that’s kinda a rude awakening in the snow-department! Yep, once that first snow hits we can say buh-bye to anything green until at least the end of March. LOL.
    Oh, gosh. And these wraps. Could there ever be a more perfect power lunch in the history of lunches? I love all the GREEN healthy stuff! Pinned!

    I love anything with tofu, Alice, and these look phenomenal!
    How can you run for hours? I don’t care how good the TV is, I give up after 30 minutes. Treadmills are just so hard to love…
