A Quick, Healthy Lunch You Can Make in 10 Minutes
It is creamy.
It is fresh.
And it takes only 10 minutes to make.
There is no stove.
There is no oven.
Just simple ingredients mixed together and wrapped up.
It is perfect for busy weekdays or work-from-home lunches.
And here's the best part: this wrap is best with the addition of Black Cumin Seed Oil, an anti-inflammatory superfood, without being overpowered by its strong, peppery taste. On its own, black cumin seed oil has a bold flavor. But when blended into creamy avocado and yogurt, it softens beautifully — so you get the benefits without the intensity.
Black Cumin Seed Oil (Nigella sativa) has been traditionally valued for supporting a healthy inflammatory response and antioxidant balance. Its key compound, thymoquinone, has been studied for helping maintain normal cellular function and metabolic balance.¹,²
Is it required? No.
Is it a simple, smart upgrade? Absolutely.
If you've been looking for a realistic way to add black cumin seed oil into your day consistently — this is it.
