How to make a healthy pita

Here’s a suggestion.

Start off by making whole wheat pita bread. If you haven’t made this before or don’t have the time, then you could purchase them. Fibre is great for helping you reach your weight loss goals sooner.

Decide on beans or meat

Choose legumes (beans, chick peas, lentils, etc) or lean meat for your pita, as this will provide you with protein. Cut the meat into strips after cooking. You can spice it up if you prefer hot food, or add lots of herbs if you want flavour.

Vegetables

Vegetables are great in filling up most of your pita. Cook whichever ones you like and create your own combination.

Salad

Remember to add a salad to your pita. Cucumber, tomato and onion make a delicious combination in pitas.

Sauce

If you find the pita a little dry, then you can add some low calorie sauce of your choice.

Vegetarian option

If you are vegetarian then you could add a variety of vegetables as well as a salad to your pita. Just remember to keep it full of flavour and interesting!
