Hey everyone, welcome back to Five Minute Eats! It's Fast Food Fridays here, meaning every Friday at 11:00 p.m. Central, you can tune in for a new fast food review. Today, we're diving into a new offering from Dunkin': the Green Goddess Dunkin' Wrap.
What's in the Green Goddess Dunkin' Wrap?
The wrap includes:
- Scrambled egg whites
- Farro
- Sundried tomatoes
- Spinach
- Crumbled feta cheese
- Herby Green Goddess sauce
- Green lavash (a very thin flatbread)
What is Farro?
Initially, I didn't know what farro was, but based on context and a bit of research, it's a type of grain made from three wheat species.
Price
This wrap is priced at $4.99, which positions it as a premium item compared to traditional Dunkin' offerings.
Review
Let's break down our thoughts on the Green Goddess Dunkin' Wrap.
First Impressions
- Appearance: The wrap looks creamy and generously filled, with a slim amount of bread compared to the filling.
- Smell: It has a good, fresh smell thanks to the Green Goddess sauce.
Taste
- Texture: Surprisingly, the wrap wasn't hard on the edges; it was soft and pleasant to eat.
- Flavor: Despite the creamy texture and the variety of ingredients, the wrap was just slightly above bland. The farro and sundried tomatoes were good, and the feta cheese worked well with the Green Goddess sauce.
- Overall: It felt more like a lunch wrap rather than a breakfast item. The flavors, while enjoyable, were not exciting enough for a morning meal.
Critique:
- Context: Dunkin' is traditionally known for catering to a blue-collar, working-class crowd. This new item seems to target a more upscale, Starbucks-like demographic.
- Suitability: We questioned whether Dunkin's typical customers would be interested in such a product, especially for breakfast.
Dunkin green goddess wrap recipe
1. Prepare the Avocado and Beans
- Take a ripe avocado and remove the pit. To make this easier, buy the avocado a few days before you need to use it.
- Mash the avocado together with beans to combine. This mixture provides a rich source of protein and calcium.
2. Add Crunchy Cabbage
- Fold in some crunchy cabbage. This adds texture and boosts the nutritional value of the wrap.
3. Season with Rice Vinegar
- Add a dash of seasoned rice vinegar for extra flavor. This ingredient enhances the taste without adding unnecessary calories.
4. Include Roasted Chicken Strips
- For additional protein, add roasted chicken strips. We used Harris Teeter brand, but any brand will do. Simply heat them in the microwave for 2-3 minutes.
5. Wrap and Serve
- Wrap all the ingredients in a tortilla. To keep it neat and easy to handle, wrap it in tin foil.
Healthy Side Options
- Serve the Green Goddess Wrap with healthy sides like chips dipped in hummus, fruit and nut bars, or granola bars.

Final Verdict
- Reviewer 1: Thumbs down. While it had potential, the wrap missed the mark on flavor and excitement. It felt like it needed a bit more spice, like jalapenos or perhaps some chicken, to make it a compelling choice.
- Reviewer 2: Reluctant thumbs down. Enjoyable but not suitable for breakfast. The strong herby flavors are more fitting for lunch or an afternoon snack.
