Fresh spring rolls are a quick way to boost your intake of nutrient-dense foods. Simply purchase the pre-made rice papers (spring roll wrappers), fill with your favorite vegetables, roll, and enjoy. You can add lean protein like shrimp, chicken breast or tofu to make spring rolls a more filling snack or a meal. Low sodium soy sauce is a perfect accompaniment to these healthy treats.
