    But also I think we need to remember that the Mung bean wraps are soooo filling! You're not going to be snacking on them either as you fill them with healthy and filling ingredients, I don't think it is food abuse as they are filling and for how much they fill you up they're low calorie compared...

    On their own the wraps aren't great - quite a strong flavour. But once you've got stuff inside them they're really nice! Much better than spending 5+ syns on a wrap! Just remember though SW haven't confirmed if they're free yet! They're very filling though so I'm calling them free for now. xxx
