Garden Veggie Stuffed Pita Pockets

Eating a lunch full of fresh vegetables gives you enough energy to tackle the afternoon without stopping. This pita pocket recipe is packed with vegetables and nutrients. To prevent the bread from getting soggy, assemble your pita right before you eat it. Remember to refrigerate your deli sprouts, as they spoil quickly.

• 2 Tbsp Hummus

• 2 Tbsp Yogurt Cheese or other low fat cheese

• 1/4 cup shredded or grated carrot

• 1 Tbsp unsalted sunflower seeds

Preparation

• Cut pita in half. Divide hummus between two pita halves and spread on inside of each. Repeat with Yogurt Cheese.
