So today is What I Ate Wednesday
thanks to Jenn @ www.peasandcrayons.com

I thought in honor of WIAW I’d share with you one of my
NEW FAVORITE EATS!
Ya’ll know that I LOVE my POWER-ROLLS
(hence the PowerPumpkin Roll that I’m super proud of!)

Lately, I’ve been trying to find different gluten free/grain free
ways to make POWER-ROLLS;
Then I came across,
NORI (Seaweed) WRAPS!!
FACTS about NORI:
Nori is a red seaweed from the genus Porphyra that is commonly used in the making of sushi.
Nutritional Content:
Nori contains between 30 and 50 percent protein
and is fairly low in sodium because most of the salt is washed away during processing.
It is a good source of vitamin A, folate and niacin.
Fresh nori is a good source of vitamin C, but the shelf life for this nutrient after processing is fairly short.
A 2007 Venezuelan study published in the "Journal of Nutrition" stated that nori is a valuable source of iron for people eating rice-based meals and that,
unlike many grains and beans, it does not contain phytates, which can bind with other nutrients and slow down their absorption

Basically, I’m obsessed with using these to make
POWER-ROLLS
of all different varieties!
Here are a few of my favorites:
Garlic & Herb Goat Cheese with “Nooch” Tuna

Question,
Have you ever tried using seaweed as a “wrap” for a POWER-ROLL?

















it’s time like these that i wish i liked fish! i’ve used rice papers as wraps before and absolutely love them
I totally need to find me some nori, the combo of a tuna roll and asparagus sounds so good right now!
Hope you have a great evening chica!
Both sound so good!! I def want to try wrapping in seaweed!
Wow, interesting! I’m always looking for new gluten free foods. I’ll have to try this!
I use Nori all the time for rolls like that. I make a mock tuna salad and put that and veggies in there. I even used it to make burritos instead of a tortilla. I love how these things lol.
we have been meaning to make nori wraps for years, and for reason keep forgetting to get some. but now with these recipes, thinking we need to make a trip to the store
I LOVE me some nori wraps. I love to put avocado or hummus and lots of veggies! Definitely the way to go!
I keep hearing so much about Nori wraps. Now I need to grab some. thanks!
The smoked salmon wrap looks amazing. I don’t know WHY I’ve never made these! I made your PowerPumpkin Roll for WIAW!
Love that power roll idea! I’m obsessed with nori – I love cutting it up into small pieces and adding it to rice and tofu bowls!
soo creative!! This is a must try for me!! xoxo
What a great idea! those rolls are the perfect way to make your meal satisfying with less gluten and grains. I love it! I am going ot have to try, but seaweed does kind of freak me out!
hahah i love it! when i was eating mine last week i was like “why didn’t i do this sooner?!” i’m already out of nori and need to stock up
nice eats girl!
This sounds great! I’ve never tried the Yeast Flakes, but I ordered some because I wanted to try your recipes. How much did you mix with the tuna? I just don’t want to over do it. Thanks! P.S. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pumpkin butter and quick pumpkin chocolate powerbowl!!!!
so glad you love the recipes!!! :] and I add about 2-3 TB of nooch to my tuna! ;] LOVE that stuff!!
I tried this for lunch today and it was amazing!! I used about 2T of the “Nooch”. I’ve never used it / tasted it before, and it is absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to search your site for more Nooch recipes. I love your site and recipes………….keep them coming! Have a great day.
Such a great idea, can’t wait to give it a go! You’re such an inspiration, girlfriend!
Ill def have to try this! Where did you say you got them again?
I got mine at a local Giant Eagle in the Asian section! :]
I love nori, I’ve been putting avocado, nutritional yeast, and veggies in mine for a while! So good. I love your idea with goat cheese, since goat cheese is just the best. Have a great day!
I LOVE nori and totally have used it to roll things up! Try it in soup or eggs if you haven’t!! It’s AWESOME!
The rolls look amazing…I love the addition of goat cheese, I swear, it can make anything better! PS LOVE the new site! Looks great
That is not my thing BUT you crack me up!!! I thought I had subscribed to your posts & then I was not getting them so subscribed again!
I luurve your blog <3 , fyi!
Those wraps look awesome nom nom!
I had a question though, how do you fuel up for your preworkout in the a.m? Im having trouble finding something light but enough to support hiit workouts. Any suggestions? Anyone?
Thanks
My favorite thing to eat before a morning work out is something light – like a small banana or rice cake topped with coconut oil & protein powder frosting! ;] mix 1 scoop of protein powder with a little water and it’s perfect! here’s the link! http://powercakes.net/powercakes/power-ricecakes/

hmmmmm currenlty i’m eating a blueberry powercake! LOVE!
I’m really excited to try these power rolls! What a great way to enjoy “sushi” without feeling too guilty! Thank you for sharing these recipes!
I enjoy reading write-up. Hope i can discover much more articles like this one. Thanks for posting. 586777
Newbie over here I suppose. What is nooch tuna?!
hah quick google search says nooch is nutritional yeast! Got ittt!!
Thank you for sharing this recipe! I just had the one with smoked salmon, garlic herb cheese, red onion & spinach. This was sooooooo delish! I add 1/4 small avocado in mine and ate along side steamed edamame. I have 3 more nori sheets so you know what I’ll be having again tomorrow!
Loved it! Scrumptious! I thoroughly enjoyed it for dinner!
I just had this for lunch but I had it with tuna, spinach, 80% reduced fat cream cheese and some pepper to season with some fresh capsicum, cucumber, carrot and tomato and it was amazing! I also had around 50g pieces of seafood highlighter (crab).
It was soooo yummy and I felt good because I ate something healthy and I had this after gym since I went staright after breakfast. I feel a little bad about the highlighter but this was such a filling lunch.
Found this website through Antishay’s YouTube channel and I’m so glad I did, great motivation and I’m keen to try the recipes!
