Health & Nutrition Notes for Whole Wheat Pita
Kangaroo pocket types of bread are simply - fun to fill with your favorite foods.
Try a healthy mix of protein (meat or beans) along with a spring mix of vegetables, a few cherry tomatoes and a serving of light, reduced fat dressing drizzled on.
For breakfast, make a healthy low calorie pita pocket by cooking two egg whites along with one yolk; add salt and pepper when scrambling. Heat one half of the pita in the oven or microwave - or even using your toaster or toaster oven.
Stuff with the egg mixture; this recipe contains about 150 calories.
