Bacon-Spinach Wraps

Hello! 
As of yesterday, I have just started my AIP journey! I have already found it difficult to find snacks that I like, and that are filling as well. Well, today I have come up with what I'm calling Bacon-Spinach Wraps! I ate them with breakfast this morning, and they were delicious. However, I also got to thinking about what a great snack they would be!


Yields: 4 wraps; 1 serving

Ingredients:

• 2 strips of bacon; halved
• spinach
• toothpicks; optional

Directions:

1. Heat your skillet over low/medium heat.
2. Place your AIP friendly bacon into the skillet, and cook until done.
3. While the bacon is cooking, prepare your spinach. (I use the pre-rinsed baby spinach leaves to make it easier)
4. Once your bacon is done, turn off the stove, and take the skillet off the burner. 
5. Take one piece of bacon off the skillet at a time, and roll the spinach inside the bacon. Do not take all the bacon off the skillet, because leaving it on the skillet will keep it warm and pliable. 
6. Once your spinach is rolled in the bacon, lay the "wrap" on the seam. (optional) Stick a toothpick through the wrap. Once the bacon cools, it will crisp into the wrapped shape, and keep your spinach inside; so I didn't see the toothpicks as a necessity.
7. Serve with a side of AIP approved fruits and/or vegetables!

I served mine with diced mango, avocado, cucumber, and red onion! I also had mine with this amazing coconut drink (pictured at the top) that I found in my grocery store! It is like a more liquid consistency of coconut milk, and has a decent amount of calcium!
