Mediterranean Menu

 

 

Chef Bryan Au’s healthy dessert recipe was a big hit among Inside Track readers when we published it in last week’s newsletter, so we thought we’d include another healthy dish this week. 
 
This time it comes from PreventObesity.net Leader Christopher Daly, the founder of Hip4Kids, a New York-based nonprofit education company that teaches children and their families about making healthy lifestyle choices, including in the kitchen. Here, Daly shares the Mediterranean Style Tuna Wrap, a great on-the-go lunch that is packed with healthy vegetables and fish.
