The Starbucks Spinach Feta Wrap is my favorite “healthy” option when grabbing a quick breakfast and coffee at Starbucks. Even though it’s one of their healthier options on the menu for its good source of protein and carbs, as expected, it’s still loaded with sodium! (I would say the Egg & Cheddar Sandwich and the Reduced-Fat Turkey Bacon Sandwich are good runner ups in terms of “healthy” options based on their nutritional profile. Their plain oatmeal (sans the nuts and dried fruit) is also a solid choice if you add in your own protein powder!)

The reality is eating out will never be as “healthy” as whipping something up at home!
I usually make a Mexican-style breakfast burrito for breakfast most mornings, but today I decided to recreate the Spinach Feta Wrap with ingredients I had here at home! Of course, it didn’t taste the same, but it was close and definitely healthier!
So here’s what I started with:
INGREDIENTS
- Flatout Flatbread MultiGrain with Flax. I love this brand! I first discovered this company at Sprouts a little over a year ago. Their bread is super soft and it comes in a variety of different options- ex: pita wraps, foldable sandwich pockets, flatbreads, etc and in a variety of flavors and grain options!

2. 2 Eggs or 3 Egg Whites – I go through phases. Right now, I prefer whole eggs over egg whites here at home.
3. 1/2 Handful of Chopped Mushrooms ~ 1/4 Cup
4. 1 tbs Chopped Garlic (Store-bought) Saves time and keeps your hands from smelling like garlic all day!
5. Sundried Tomatoes – To taste
6. Handful of Spinach or Kale ~ 1-2 Cups (I only had Kale today)
7. Feta Cheese, Goat Cheese or Mozzarella Cheese (I had expired Feta Cheese :/ so I went for the goat cheese, since it has a stronger flavor) Add in as much as you like depending on the taste you’re going for. I put about 1/4 oz of goat cheese.
8. Pinch of Black Pepper
HOW TO COOK
- Heat 1-2tbs of olive oil in a skillet on the stove on Medium-Heat
- Add in 1tbs of chopped garlic with chopped mushrooms
- Add in spinach or kale and sauté until it wilts
- Crack open and mix 2 eggs in a separate bowl and pour into the skillet. Or, pour 3 egg whites in if you buy the egg white cartons.
- After scrambled eggs cook, place on separate plate and top with black pepper, sundried tomatoes and cheese.
- While the cheese warms up and melts, turn heat on skillet up to high. Warm flatbread up on both sides.
- On a new plate, lay out flatbread and add in your scrambled creation to the center. Fold up as best as possible.
- Enjoy!
