My go-to 5-minute lunch when I want something clean, high-protein, and low-carb 🥬🐟
Hey everyone! Just wanted to share this super quick and refreshing meal I put together today. If you're looking for a low-effort, macro-friendly meal prep idea, this is an absolute lifesaver.
As you can see in 0702.jpg, I made some loaded tuna salad lettuce wraps. Here is exactly how I threw it together:
🥗 Ingredients:
- 1 can of tuna (drained)
- 1-2 tbsp Greek yogurt (or light mayo, but Greek yogurt keeps it extra lean and high-protein!)
- Finely diced red onion (for that perfect crunch)
- Fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
- A squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Paprika / chili powder (dusted on top for a little kick)
- Large, crisp lettuce leaves (Romaine or Iceberg work best as the "taco" shells)
👩🍳 How to make it:
- Prep the base: Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and flake it into a bowl using a fork.
- Mix it up: Add the Greek yogurt (or mayo), diced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Squeeze in some fresh lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble: Wash and dry your lettuce leaves so they stay crisp. Spoon the tuna mixture evenly into the lettuce cups.
- The final touch: Dust the top with a bit of paprika or chili powder for color and a nice subtle warmth.
It’s super simple, packed with clean protein, and keeps you full without that heavy, bloated feeling afterwards.
Let me know if you try it, or if you have any secret ingredients you like to add to your tuna salad to take it to the next level! 👇
