Wrapper’s Delight: 11 New Ways to Add Greens to Your Lunch

Kinda over kale? Chard not doin’ it for you? Say hello to our new leafy green crush, collard greens. Not only can they be chopped and used just like their cruciferous cousins, but collards are also sturdy, uniformly shaped, crunchy and flavorful, making them a perfect (naturally low-carb) pseudo-tortilla wrap. Wait, there’s more: Collards are also super affordable; easy to grow in your garden and full of fiber, antioxidants and protein. Plus, they’ll last forever in the fridge. If you’re not already convinced, try one of these delicious collard green leaf wraps or tacos.

1. Slow Cooker Curried Chicken Tacos with Avocado Crema: Seriously, how many delicious-sounding words can you possibly fit in one recipe title? Make the chicken over the weekend (or on Monday while you’re at work), and you’ve got a colorful lunch or dinner all week long. (via Healthy Nibbles and Bits)

2. Vegan Tomato + Basil Collard Wraps: Tempeh + quinoa + chickpeas = tons of protein. The balsamic glaze and sun-dried tomatoes also add serious tang to that equation. (via The First Mess)

3. Collard Vegetable Wraps With Creamy Basil Hemp Seed Sauce: If you’re one of those people who’s used to dousing everything in ranch (present company included), you’ll love this creamy, garlicky sauce. Not only is it vegan, it also contains omega-3s, fiber and protein (take that, Hidden Valley). (via Gourmande in the Kitchen)

4. Collard Green Wraps With Roasted Yams and Chipotle Black Beans: Collard leaves are a perfect complement to hella-spicy fixins, like these chipotle black beans. (Feel free to sub in spicy chicken or beef if you’re not vegetarian) Cumin-spiced yams add extra sustenance and flavor. (via Feasting at Home)

5. Thai Zucchini and Cucumber Noodle Collard Green Wraps With Almond Butter Sauce: In less than 20 minutes, you’ve got a Thai-inspired, portable lunch filled with crunchy veggie goodness. (via Inspiralized)

6. Falafel Collard Wraps: Forget the pita and wrap your falafel up in these cozy little collard leaves. Add a little zesty cucumber-dill sauce on the side and you’re all set. (via Fork + Beans)

7. Collard Wraps and Satay-Style Dipping Sauce: Gather up all the fresh fruit and veggies you can (including mango, strawberries and avos) and go to town with these grilled chicken wraps. Vegetarians could substitute grilled portobellos or seared tofu. (via The Healthful Foodie)

8. Baby Collard Tacos: Baby collard leaves serve as the shell for these raw, sunflower-seed-stuffed tiny tacos. Use regular-size collard leaves if you can’t find baby ones, or if your appetite isn’t quite so dainty. (via Raw Food for Truth)

9. Superfood Green Collard Wraps: Vegan mayo holds it all together here, but you could use hummus, mustard or your fave spread. (via Pure Ella)

10. Collard Hummus Wraps With Golden Beets and Sprouts: Speaking of hummus, get out your spiralizer and make some beet noodles (boodles?) for these earthy, savory wraps. (via Oh My Veggies)

11. Orange Cranberry Tuna Salad Collard Wraps: No longer shall tuna salad be contained to bread or a tortilla. Bundle this go-to lunch option in a collard leaf and you’ll get extra nutrients and beat sandwich boredom. It’s a win-win, folks. (via Keep Your Diet Real)

Have you hopped on the collard-leaf bandwagon? What do you put in your wraps?

Out of all the celebrity breakups I wasn't expecting, Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes definitely tops the list. They were clearly very close, and Shawn even admitted that all of his songs are about Camila, even the ones he released before they dated! (Okay, cute). The couple split at the end of 2021, but after a very buzzy summer following rumors that Sabrina Carpenter's Short 'n Sweet references their love triangle, Shawn Mendes revealed Camila is still one of his closest friends.

  • Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes dated from 2019-2021, then reportedly reconnected in 2023.
  • Shawn recently opened up about how Camila is "one of my closest best friends."
  • He also reveals she's still the first person he would call in an emergency.

What does Shawn Mendes say about Camila Cabello?

Roy Rochlin/Getty Images for MTV

In a new interview with The New York Times, Shawn Mendes reveals just how much Camila Cabello means to him, and that it “bugs” him that the internet thinks they're “against each other in a weird way.”

"[She's] one of my closest best friends...I have nerves just even speaking about it, just what people would say," he reveals. “But honestly, if something was to happen in my family and if something was to happen to me, she’d probably be the first person I call, to this day...Our relationship is teaching me what love means, in a big way.”

The interview comes after Shawn Mendes spoke on his sexuality (something that, for some reason, has been a topic of conversation on the internet for years), and after the duo was in the spotlight following the release of Sabrina Carpenter's Short 'n Sweet, which seems to reference a love triangle between the three of them. Fans analyzed lyrics like "Oh I leave quite an impression" in "Taste" after Camila Cabello dyed her hair blonde, and "Your car drove itself from L.A. to her thighs" in "Coincidence" when Camila teased a lyric from "June Gloom" that says "If she's so amazing, why are you on this side of town?"

Have Shawn Mendes and Camila broken up?

Kevin Winter/Getty Images for dcp

This isn't the first time the pair has broken the internet, and one of my favorite moments was when they performed "Señorita" at the AMAs in 2019. The chemistry! The vocals! The audience reactions!

And in November of 2021, the pair made a joint statement (which was posted to their individual Instagram stories) announcing their breakup.

"Hey guys, we’ve decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever,” the statement said. “We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends. We so appreciate your support from the beginning and moving forward. Camila and Shawn.”

Are Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello together again?

Theo Wargo/Getty Images

Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes might have broken up, but they're definitely still in each other's lives. And there were rumors in 2023 that they had romantically reconnected. “They’ve practically moved in with each other,” an US Weekly sourcesaid last summer. “They each have their own places, but they’re spending every day they can together and traveling together.”

The pair has been spotted together more and more frequently, at Coachella, then at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, and even in the middle of New York City. The Us Weekly source also mentions that “it feels like a new relationship.”

However, according to a new source, the pair has broken up again — this time for good. “Shawn and Camila have a lot of history and they tested the waters again after coming back into each other’s lives," the source told The Sun. "In reality, both of them know they aren’t right for each other romantically and now they just want to move on.”

Despite the will-they-won't-they of it all, it seems like Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello will always be in each other's lives!

When did Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello date?

Theo Wargo/Getty Images for Global Citizen

After being friends for years (and that steamy VMAs performance), Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello dated from 2019-2021.

How old are Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello?

JC Olivera/Getty Images

Shawn Mendes is 26 years old and was born on August 8, 1998, while 27-year-old Camila Cabello was born on March 3, 1997. There's just a one-year age gap between them!
