Super Healthy Hummus Pita Pockets

I haven’t been putting enough effort into eating healthy lately. Not that my meals have been totally unhealthy, but they’ve been more of an afterthought. So this week I just felt called to stock the fridge with super healthy things.

I practiced what I preach and filled the fridge with chopped veggies, easy proteins, berries, greens, and nutritious staples like eggs, yogurt, and kombucha.

With all that fresh produce at my fingertips, I found myself snacking on sliced peppers instead of chips while I made lunch!

I also made a batch of my favorite hummus. I used this recipe and just omitted the sweet potato, since I didn’t have that on hand.

With all that stocked in the fridge, I made this delicious little pita for a lunch date with T. The “recipe” was actually his idea. He said he used to eat hummus, pepper, cuc and sprout pitas a lot, so I did that plus banana peppers and mustard. Gotta have the spice!

I much prefer the wholewheat version of these pitas from Whole Foods, but they were all out so white it was.

Assembled and ready to go!

Ingredients:

  • As many slices of bell peppers, cucumbers, and carrots as can fit
  • 1 tsp of Dijon mustard
  • A spoonful of banana peppers
  • ~1/3 cup homemade hummus
  • Sprouts on top

this !

This week has been very healthy thanks to a little advanced planning. Stock your fridge with the best choices, do a little prep, and you’re 80% of the way there!

    Love the addition of banana peppers, that sounds so good! I totally agree – I eat so much healthier if i do a little bit of prep. Even if all I have time to do is slice some raw veggies, that makes a huge difference for me.

    I have been obsessed with hummus on my sandwiches lately. Here is my combo: Ezekiel bread toasted, deli turkey, tomato slice, arugula, fresh sprouts, and a very generous schmear of hummus on both sides of the bread.

    I love the banana pepper idea, totally trying it.

    My biggest challenge is finding room for all of the containers after chopping on Sundays! What model fridge do you have, and more importantly, do you like it?

      It’s a Whirlpool and I like it a lot! The water dispenser isn’t my favorite though.

    A little prep goes a long long way both with eating healthier and saving money. We rarely eat out since we live on a pretty strict budget and preparing meals on Sundays and then reheating throughout the week makes meal time super easy, healthy and cost effective.

    I’ve never had alfalfa sprouts. What do they taste like? Does it taste like bean sprouts?

    Do you have ideas for an alternative to traditional hummus? I love to eat hummus, but it kills my stomach due to the beans/tahini. I miss having a dip for veggies that’s yummy, filling and low-fat. Any suggestions would be helpful!

      What about a greek yogurt or cream cheese dip with herbs mixed in?

    I never thought I was a banana pepper person until I got a hummus + veg sandwich today and remembered your love for them. $6 and a YOLO later, I’ve been converted. You have a gift for getting people to try new foods – from toddlers to 20’s (and beyond).

    Pepper power! :o)

    A really random quick query – why do you bother to remove the seeds from your cucumbers? – surely any extra fibre is worth having and cucumber seeds are so soft that the textural difference is negligible?

      I just think they make things a little soggy and they are pretty negligible, but great if you leave them in!

    Love your meal prep, and your gorgeous display of food in your fridge! What are you using for your egg holder (top right)? I love that! My hard boiled eggs seem to get lost in my fridge abyss!
