Finding Gluten Free Lunches on the go is never super easy. Recently however, I found a delicious Urban Eat Gluten Free Lemon Chicken Wrap!
Recently on a mid morning shopping trip to Tesco both Mark & I felt incredibly peckish & fancied a hot drink. We often stop off for a drink at Costa at our local Tesco but on this occasion we were at a different Tesco where there wasn’t a Costa. Usually when I see the old style Tesco Cafes my brain groans… there is very little for either of us to eat and certainly very little snack food. So to say my gluten free rumbling stomach was initially a little disappointed to find a Tesco Old School Cafe would be an understatement!
We went up to the counter and saw lots of hot gluten filled meals… pasta, full english, fish and chips; but then we turned round and saw the cold pre made sandwiches.
Obviously by this point I had given up any hope of getting anything and was preparing to nip downstairs to the free from section of the Tesco store to grab a quick snack. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find an Urban Eat Gluten Free Lemon Chicken Wrap (which was pleasingly also dairy free). Mark & I were only looking for a snack as it wasn’t too long till lunchtime so we decided to buy the wrap and have half each with our hot drinks.
I must say I never really think of having something like a wrap as a snack, it screams ‘lunchtime’ at you but really sharing a wrap really is the perfect snack! I was really excited to try the wrap and really hoped it lived up to what I imagine a good Lemon Chicken Wrap should taste like! I wasn’t disappointed. The Urban Eat Gluten Free Wrap was delicious. The wrap, which I think must have been a Newburn Bake House Gluten Free Seeded Wrap was really soft, flexible and well formed. I’ve always loved the Newburn Bake House wraps so it was great to see another brand using them for their pre-made wraps.
The Chicken was moist, well seasoned and plentiful. There is nothing worse than not having enough chicken in a chicken wrap!! The chicken was perfectly complimented by the zesty lemon mayonnaise, which provided an all encompassing freshness to the Urban Eat Gluten Free Wrap. The rocket and tomato finished off this delicious wrap perfectly, giving another dimension of flavour and texture to the wrap. I wished that we hadn’t decided to share the wrap as a snack, I could have quite easily have devoured the other half!
But I Do Wanna Taco ‘Bout Urban Eat’s Gluten Free Wraps!
The Urban Eat Gluten Free Lemon Chicken Wrap is the perfect choice for lunch if you are on the go and happen to drop past somewhere that sells Urban Eat products. Of course I have seen Urban Eat Gluten Free products now in Tesco but I also know that a lot of university campuses also sell Urban Eat products as well as smaller cafes & some public transport hubs; so keep your eyes peeled!
I have just noticed they also do a gluten free egg & slow roasted tomato wrap which sounds amazing. I will definitely be on the look out for that next! Let me know if you have tried it before!
I have also been reliably informed that the Urban Eat Gluten Free range is due to expand later on this year so I will keep you posted if I hear anything more… more convenient lunch options please!
Have you found any other gluten free ready made sandwich brands when you’ve been out and about? Please let me know on Facebook or Twitter, it would be great to have even more options when I’m in a hurry!
Thanks for reading,
