Low sodium high protein breakfast wrap is one of those recipes I keep coming back to every single week. It’s quick, filling, and honestly, it’s changed the way my whole family starts the day.
I started making this wrap after Noah’s pediatrician mentioned we should all be more mindful of sodium, even for the kids. I’m not a fan of bland food, so I had to get creative. After a few tests with Henry as my (very honest) taste tester, this wrap became our go-to morning meal. It takes about 15 minutes, it’s packed with real protein, and nobody misses the salt.
If you’re eating low salt high protein breakfast meals to manage blood pressure, hit a fitness goal, or just feel better in the morning, this wrap is a keeper. And if you’re on a high protein kick, you might also love my Easy Chicken Meal Prep Bowls Recipe.

- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, salt free
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Substitution Notes:
The tortilla is the biggest sodium source in this recipe, so check the label carefully before buying. For the protein, you can swap the chicken for extra egg whites, low sodium turkey, or unsalted cottage cheese if you need something different.
The Greek yogurt goes into the egg mix and makes the eggs incredibly creamy without adding sodium. Don’t skip it if you can help it.

Notes
The tortilla is the biggest sodium source in this recipe — check the label carefully and look for 50 to 60 mg sodium or less. The Greek yogurt goes into the egg mix and makes the eggs incredibly creamy without adding sodium. Don’t skip it if you can help it. Make the filling ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep the filling and tortillas separate until ready to eat — the tortilla gets soggy if wrapped ahead. The filling does not freeze well because the eggs change texture, so stick to fridge storage. For a meatless version, swap the chicken for extra egg whites or unsalted cottage cheese. If you swap in turkey, make sure it’s the no salt added kind.

Add the no salt added chicken breast to the pan. Stir for about 1 minute just to warm it through. If your chicken is already warm from meal prep, this goes even faster.
Step 3: Cook The Eggs

Pour the mixture into the pan over the vegetables and chicken. Cook gently, stirring often, until the eggs are soft and fully cooked. Low and slow is the move here don’t rush this step or the eggs get rubbery.
