💡 Why This Works for Keto
Tofu is a popular protein source for plant-based keto dieters, delivering a high protein-to-carb ratio. According to research published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, tofu also contributes to cardiovascular health due to its isoflavones and minimal saturated fats.
With only 7 grams of net carbs per serving, this wrap fits comfortably within your daily carb allowance. Adding erythritol as a sweetener keeps the marinade and dip keto-compliant, while sesame oil provides healthy omega-6 fats that support hormone production and cell function.
🔗 Pro Tip & Serving Suggestions
Serve these wraps fresh with a side of fermented kimchi for added probiotics and gut support. Or pair with other keto vegan sides like cauliflower rice or coconut milk soup.
