Sweet, tangy, creamy, and crunchy—this wrap layers unexpected flavor in every bite for a light yet satisfying lunch you can take on the go.
Some flavor combinations don’t just surprise you—they stick with you. Blueberry and basil might not sound like your typical duo, but one bite of this wrap and you’ll wonder how you ever settled for plain old turkey and cheese.
The first time I tried this combo, it was a total fridge-cleanout situation. I had leftover berries from breakfast and some basil wilting on the brink, so I tossed them into a salad out of pure laziness. One bite later, I dropped my fork, stared into the middle distance, and immediately texted my husband to say, “Trust me on this.” Add crisp zucchini noodles, a creamy honey-lime yogurt dressing, and a hint of jalapeño, and you’ve got a craveable wrap that’s sweet, spicy, tangy, and refreshing.
This recipe is a spin on the idea of a superfood-packed lunch—something that feels light and bright, and is good for your body. The base of it all is a protein-rich flatbread that wraps everything up into a perfectly portable package, ideal for busy weekdays or lunch alfresco. The dressing couldn’t be easier: just Greek yogurt, honey, and lime for creamy zip with natural sweetness.
It’s the kind of lunch that feels a little fancy, even if you threw it together in no time flat. Whether you’re eating it at your desk or on a sunny park bench, this wrap delivers big flavor with minimal effort and might just become your new go-to when you’re craving something fresh, filling, and totally unexpected.
Is This Zucchini Noodles Blueberry Basil Wrap Healthy?
Yes—this wrap leans on fresh produce rather than heavy sauces or excess carbs for its bold flavor. The zucchini noodles and coleslaw mix offer fiber, while the Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess without added fat. Blueberries provide a burst of natural sweetness and antioxidants.
To make this wrap gluten-free, just opt for a certified gluten-free flatbread or swap in large collard green leaves or lettuce cups. Want it dairy-free? Use a plant-based yogurt with similar tang, and taste-test the dressing to adjust the lime and honey balance. If you’re keeping an eye on carbs, you could even skip the wrap entirely and enjoy the filling as a loaded salad.
Why Zucchini Noodles Work
Zucchini noodles (or “zoodles”) are a fantastic substitute for traditional noodles, especially in cold dishes. Their crisp texture holds up well to creamy dressings, and when properly drained and pressed, they don’t water down your meal. In this wrap, they add a delicate crunch that plays perfectly against the soft blueberries and tender greens. The trick is to salt and drain them before assembling—this keeps your wrap from turning soggy and ensures each bite has bite.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but if needed, you can store the filling and wraps separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Assemble just before eating to avoid sogginess.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these wraps with a handful of veggie chips or a light side like Roasted Chickpeas. A sparkling water with lime or a Mangonada would complement the flavors beautifully. For a more filling meal, pair with a simple soup like this Green Goddess Soup or a summery side like Watermelon Salad.

Ingredients
- 1 small zucchini spiralized with the 3mm blade
- Salt
- 1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 4 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice from 1 small lime
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 cup coleslaw mix
- 1/3 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons red onion minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon jalapeño minced, about 1/2 a jalapeño
- 2 high-protein, low-carb wraps gluten-free if needed
Instructions
- Place the zucchini noodles into a colander set over a large bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Let sit for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to release excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, lime juice, and honey. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the coleslaw mix, blueberries, red onion, basil, and jalapeño. Pour the yogurt mixture over the salad mix and stir until evenly coated.
- Remove the zucchini noodles from the colander and really squeeze out their excess moisture. Then, place them onto a layer of paper towels and, with a layer of paper towels on top, press out as much moisture as you can.
- Divide the zucchini noodles between the two flatbreads, followed by the coleslaw mixture. Roll up and enjoy!
