Comments With the wraps on offer, this one looked the most appetising with a healthy Mediterranean look. An appetising wrap with a lovely tomato smell and taste. A spicy tasting firm wrap, the team liked the combination inside This wrap looks more like a pitta bread and the size of it made up for the slight lack of filling. Looks filling with lots of salad but the filling was firmly placed just at the top. The team struggled to award any points to Weight Watchers with this wrap.
Appearance Vibrant You want to eat it! Looks full of ingredients A sloppy pitta look. Lots of salad bursting out of this wrap. Peppers, peppers and .....peppers
Smell Spicy Delicate tomato smell Spicy like Nik Naks Lacking Mustardy Very peppery
Taste Oozing with ingredients which mixed well together. Herbs mixed with tomatoes, very satisfying. The spicy flavour gave it a kick. A bit of a spicy after taste. Very mustardy No chicken to speak of, just peppers
Texture Crunchy and filing. Good A little dry. Hardly a mouthful of filling to judge. Grainy texture which was not very pleasing. Soggy and falling apart.

Conclusion

Wraps can be a filling and more interesting option for lunch than the usual sandwich. Check out the calories and portion sizes before you make your choice. We think M & S and Tesco have produced the good options which will fill you up and leave you with a good taste in your mouth.
