Dr Jockers Comments:
Spring rolls are a light and tasty snack or appetizer that is perfect for warmer weather months. I am not a huge fan of rice, but a little bit is ok as it does act as a prebiotic for healthy bacteria.
Coconut aminos are healthy alternative to typical soy sauce as they don’t contain the phytoestrogens and anti-nutrients that traditional soy contains. This helps to give the recipe the traditional Asian flavor.
I like to fill these with a bunch of veggies, some avocado and organic chicken or turkey. I prefer using the stevia in the almond butter dipping sauce to keep sugar and carbs down. Try this out and let us know in the comments box below what you thought of it!

HI Dr. Jockers, you said you’re not a huge fan of rice. If you go to the Korean supermarket, you can now find tapioca wraps instead of rice.
Great to hear that Julie! Thanks for sharing!
